Recently I was informed by my better half that we would be hosting six of her childhood girlfriends at our apartment in a slightly belated celebration of her friend Amanda’s 30th birthday. No small occasion to say the least, I was excited to have them as guests as it afforded me two excellent opportunities. The first being a chance to […]

Coastal Conservation Association
I’d like to thank the CCA for the honor of being the Featured Artist at their Naples Banquet this past weekend. I support what they do, and am happy that the feeling is mutual. This piece was donated for the Live Auction at the banquet, glad it went to a good friend, and added to his collection of pieces that […]
Fire!
Six years ago I left south Florida, where my angling heart will forever lie, for New York City. I took a job with one of the preeminent seafood wholesalers in NYC, to run their twenty-five seat oyster bar and grill in Murray Hill, feeling at the time that if I was no longer able to launch odd and colorfully adorned, […]

Here’s What I’ve Been up To

The Black Key Group and “Pop up Piano Miami”, along with the help of many sponsors chose eight Artists to paint Piano’s. I was chosen as one […]
Destin Road Trip
I headed up to Destin to visit some friends for a long weekend. The goal was Bull Reds but they didn’t want to cooperate this year despite the great weather. We took out our frustration on the flounder. We still had a great time on the water and ate like kings. One of the highlights of the trip was stopping […]
Movie Boredom…
With all the hurricanes and cool weather moving in, its easy to find oneself stuck indoors procrastinating on whether to clean off the tying bench or clean the house. What better time to make a samich, crack open a cold cerveza (Boones farm for Chase), and plop down to a cool flick. Enjoy it for the art or the story, […]
Another reason I love FL
Art Show
Well, I promised I’d post a video this week. But I was busy getting ready for the art show. My good buddy Bernard Barrios “LeEmik Rok One” and I were showcased on the center wall right at the entrance to the event. It was a two day deal. And even with this storm lurking, there was still a great turnout […]
