DRAWING OUR BEST FRIENDS!

INSPIRATIONAL WORDS!!

It’s December 1st, and as the year winds down and the new year begins, we search for enlightenment.

I spend a long intense challenging yet fulfilling week in October at @qvarantine.events on the island of Menorca, along with 5 other master artists & 2 master gallerists, mentoring 75 paid artists to direct them on their artist voice.

In the 1990’s, I attempted a philosophical comic strip titled “ENJOY OR SUFFER.” This is one of my favorite ones, published in @blabworld , that seems to capture the essence of everything.

When THE DOOR WAS ALWAYS OPEN in China!!!

10 years ago I was about to open my museum exhibition at @k11artfoundation in Shanghai.
We were finishing up installing my Fairfax District-esque Jewish home in the middle of the museum.
We introduced a 10 ft snowman and 3 4ft Creamy Ice Cream cone sculptures. I was painting abandoned old doors I found from demolished old buildings, eating “peanut noodle” and hunting for the best XIAO LONG BAO around town.

2014 was a special year.

DEEP THOUGHTS ABOUT 2025.

End of the year has begun, and I’m hungry to understand my goals for the upcoming year. Looking back the good & bad of the past years.

Once a Cat Guy, always a Cat Guy.

I would have flipped as a kid if I had a Blackie the Cat Art Plush with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from me as a Future Artist!

ADOPT the MIGHTY PAW BLACKIE THE CAT limited edition PLUSH art piece…before the Holidays!!

Each comes with a SIGNED Certificate of Authenticity!!

Bosko & I are so happy to celebrate Blackie’s forthcoming book from @hatandbeardpress with this new plush version of my late best pal. It’s been 5 years since we sold out of the first Blackie the Cat.

Blackie the Cat’s message to DEFY HATE still stands especially today. A fighter and survivor, he did his best to spread compassion and the Power of Purr.

This limited edition Art Piece is exclusively available at my website (link in bio).
