In early March of 2020, along with over 100 other artists, Cheryl Leah Morgan and myself collaborated on a photographic/writing project for the Rituals of Resistance show put on by Nasty Women of Connecticut. The show featured work that spoke about varying aspects of protest. Our peace was entitled Ribbons of Reminder, it highlighted visually and literally the public display of support for political prisoners in the Catalan region of Spain. My work was made up of two large black and white photos on canvas, a small black and white framed photo and eight color postcards, they were accompanied by two written pieces that were done by Miss Morgan. All the work was hung in the show by yellow ribbon that was sown to each piece by Cheryl. The yellow ribbons were in honor of the yellow ribbons that can be seen flying throughout Catalonia as a sign of protest. The show was held at the Urban Collective in New Haven...

In September of 2019 I took place in the New Haven Paint & Clay Club / Ely Center of Contemporary Art Postcard Art Show and Sale held at the John Slade Ely House in New Haven, Ct. I was happy to donate three copies of my "Trying To Find China Town" postcard to the charity event.

The Connecticut based Reggae Jam BandFattie Roots performed at three separate festivals in the spring, summer and fall of 2018.

As an artist model I have been the subject. Pursuing my interest in photography while drawing on my background in film and writing I created my own images. Moving forward, leaving things behind, "Drive By Shooter" captures the imagery of the road, with an eye on the looming sites ahead and the views vanishing in the rear view.
My first contribution to an art show as a photographer. I've always enjoyed photography as a hobby but have changed my approach in recent years to take on a more creative style. I submitted three photos to the Small Works show at the Art & Frame Shop of Danbury from a series of shots I took from my car while traveling across country this summer entitled "Drive By Shootings" and the gallery selected them to be in their show...
Inspired by the song Son Of A Bush by the always outspoken group Public Enemy, this is the second narrative film in which I wrote and directed. The original script was written during election time in 2004 and was later revamped and updated with the setting changing from a big city to a small town.
Fed up by the news of the day, a regular guy is inspired by the creative free speech of others. Desiring to get involved, he decides to speak out himself. The Feds catch on quickly in this politically motivated short film.
I teamed up with two cable access producers, Kevin Gallagher of Time Out Productions and David Suero of S Productions to begin filming in the fall of 2006. All scenes were shot on location in Bethel, Danbury and New Milford. Editing of the film took place in Comcast Cable Channel 23 studios during 2007-08.
Children's book author and managing editor of the Hat City Entertainment newspaper Joe Shaboo took on the starring role. Singer/songwriter Nicholas James Marsicano aka Nic James contributed music to the film, as he did for my first film, The Role, and the two-part historical documentary series I directed. Other indie musical contributions came from Dave King and Dave Cahill.
The film will be airing on Comcast Cable Channel 23 during the months of Sept. through November.
This is an interview I did with local cable access TV show host Kevin Gallagher back in March 2006. In the interview we talked about my recent directorial effort in the film The Role and some of the important aspects of film making.
