WPKN Programmer and Volunteer Summer Art Exhibition

What Kajee & I Did (While Bob Krunch Stayed Home) - Road Trip

On March 17th, 2025 I published my first book, What Kajee & I Did (While Bob Krunch Stayed Home) - Road Trip. The book was Independently Published through Kindle Direct Publishing and is available as an eBook or Paperback on Amazon. The story encompasses eight days in the spring of 1996 when two friends in their mid-twenties embark on a road trip to New Orleans for an escape from the brutal northeast winter of '96 by way of celebrating Saint Patrick's Day in the Big Easy. They make stops in Raliegh, NC to hang out with some girls and in Atlanta, GA to pick up and then dropoff another friend who joins them in NOLA. It's a wild nostalgia fueled ride ride, also fueled by old school mix tapes and pre-rolled joints. The music and pop culture references come fast and furious from start to finish as the boys get lost in the haze of a different time and place.

Wish You Were Here

I was pleased to take part in the "Wish You Were Here" Postcard show held by Still Rivers Editions in Danbury during the summer of 2020.

Rituals of Resistance - Nasty Women of Ct.

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...
