I Love New York 2001-2002

I am a hobbiest not a great artist. This web page just shows me what I was up to. I have to look at an image in order to draw it. I don't know if including the original here is interesting or distracting. I threw out a bunch of art in the late 1990s at Mary E's house and then again at Eric W's house in about 2003. This page includes items found on other pages but is here too to fill creative timeline gaps.

A St. Louis radio station ran a "Pop Art for Pop Mart" contest for U2 tickets. I submitted several items in a see through poster holder. I won tickets and took my then girlfriend to the show. I threw away all of the art entries. I recreated two of the submissions at the bottom of the page. One was a drawing of Max Beckman's woodcut portrait. Maybe I thought they would think it was Bono. I also created a monkey to man thing from U2's own designers. Take a look at the videos of the show from Mexico. The opening is similar to a prize fighter entering the ring.

Jones Soda used one of my photos for their Soda. They printed my name on the bottle, it is my photo, but the city, the Bronx, is incorrect. I took the photo in Downtown Des Moines, Iowa.

Clearly Misunderstood was an Art show (Oct 7, 2011) at Ian Miller's "The Eye" in Des Moines, Iowa. I had two TV's playing in his shop windows that faced the public sidewalk. The premise is "What is Iowa became a state during the Iraqi war." It seems like the Mexican - American war was incorporated into Iowa county names. What would it look like if modern war was incorporated into county names? It must be noted I created this project as a Democrat and I am now a Republican. This is a great country.

The Statue of Constantine the Great is a bronze statue depicting the Roman emperor Constantine I seated on a throne, commissioned by York Civic Trust and designed by the sculptor Philip Jackson. It was unveiled in 1998 and is situated on Minster Yard, outside York Minster. It commemorates the accession of Constantine as Roman emperor in AD 306 on this site, after the death of his father Constantius Chlorus in York.[1]

If camera type is not listed, assume it was a Nikon D810 which is much better than an iPhone.

I was an extra sitting in the bar. Rose McGowan brought some donuts I think.
