Mixed Media & Digital Illustration. When you hold yourself hostage, be it in a physical or mental nature, you may be depriving yourself of something potentially beautiful, holding back from the truth trying to cage away the bits you don’t like and revealing only what you think others will approve of.

The power went out for a second, long enough to interrupt the oven digital clock. When I looked at it, HELP was flashing up on the screen. Thought that was rather funny, and a little strange in a Hollywood kind of way. Reflected in the screen of the clock is the kitchen and hallway of my home. So I added some noise, colour balance, and wind effect to get scratchy, creepy look of a teen slasher horror movie. This seems much more fitting to a call for help than my oven!

Submerged in the descending crash of condemnation, I felt the bright, red, fiery, blinding light of anger well up—unstoppable. I refuse to stop breathing. I reach out to God for strength to swim. Am I in a garden pool, or a tidal wave? Does it matter? I still am drowning. Self-doubt holds my head under water. Is is ego, self-preservation or childish reaction that causes me to want to fight? The stone statue face of judgment twists in profile and shouts, “Whatever. Just get over it. Stop whining.” / Still, I see through layers of water above me that the sunlight is streaming. There is more. There is a solution. I do not have to drown. If only I could be patient. / So I paint. It seems to give the waiting a purpose. And after awhile I am no longer waiting. I am there. And I am swimming. / Acrylic on masonite, 24”x34”

this gives me no great pleasure, but at this time it must be said, I spent the day reviewing old cds files zip drives etc and thru documentation was reminded of what happened to me some years back, long story short boys and girls, during the late 1980’s i filled volumes of books, sketch books if you will with my latest arteology series, over the years i would say i produced hundreds of them, at this particular time i did a large series of oil painting washes on cason paper, working with alot of linseed oil and turps, fast and loose studies that after they dried i put them between the pages of my scrap books, anyway whe i relocated from one country to the next meaning america to brasil in 1994 all my personal effects were put on a ship and 7 months later after passing thru customs i received in brasil waiting for them, i was very careful to document and record everything i shipped and upon delivery knew that close to 6 huge boxes of books were missing, my book collection at that time exceeded 5,000 books, books from all over the world, art, culture, geology, astrology you name it. but mixed in between these books were my personal arteology sketch books…....heres the short end of the story…...out of the 6 cases stolen by customs down there in santos port of brasil about 5 of my sketch books each exceeding 250 pages were missing, there was nothing i could do about it, bite the lip as we say in brooklyn and suck it up, life goes on and all that matters is that we as creators cna to the best of our abilites try to add to our culture and all cultures….....but here is the thing, several years later after i returned to new york to be with my parents who were hurting at the time I received an email one day, the photo attached here was sent from someone in rio who claimed they came into contact these 5-6 books and becasue i sign and date everything asked me if i was the creator of this art, this photo is the actual person who sent me the mail, I ansered back to an email that i and my firends simply couldnt track, but this person got the message, i in all honesty told them the situation and tried to explain how much these records of arteology meant to me, these books were all basically dated between february 1987 to the following year 1988…....singular studies for all future paintings, writings , poetry at the time…...this person said to me what is it worth to you? I said of course I would make a way for you to ship to friends living inside your country after you recieved the amount for shipping and then i would be very happy to offer to you some originals to compensate your time and energy, ...........for the first time in my life i was held hostage…........their answer was an absurd amount of money that told me that even if i paid it i would not get anything back because of lack of honor these piratas practiced…..in my life time i have had all kinds of experiences, I have been shot, stabbed, beaten robbed, coming from ny i have been pistol whipped, but my art has never been held hostage, i told them to burn it….......forever the moments i spent creating those books will remain like it was this morning in my mind…....following are just a few pages from these books, nothing earth shattering but still personal and reflections from some very special times in the studio some 23 years ago, im a firm believer in the fact that for anyone that lives long enough they see in fact that truly history does repeat itself….....and oh yes one more thing, whose ever hands are in this picture holding this book, bro your day will come, thats it for now, crow
