About AI

 That was then, this is now:

I find myself looking back these days—born in Brooklyn in 1957, into a world of no cell phones, Playing outside, drawings with ink, paper, and hand-crafted design. I came up through the newspaper business and early studio work, where everything was done by hand—paste-up boards, wax machines, pay stubs, and the smell of fresh print. Typography wasn’t something you selected from a screen; it was something you understood with picas and point. I worked with Letraset, built layouts piece by piece, and spent years airbrushing and working traditionally, learning how to build light, shadow, and form with patience and intention.

Over time, I led art departments with teams of artists under me, guiding creative direction and learning how to bring ideas to life through others as well as through my own hands. I also worked alongside some of the best minds in aerospace and industry, including being Art Director at Northrop Grumman in electronics systems and integration, and space systems, in environments connected to all branches of the military. That work demanded precision and clarity, and it shaped the way I think about image, message, and impact. After those years, I stepped fully into fine art and was given the opportunity to work out of a studio in South Beach, Miami Beach, where I was able to focus on and develop my work while showing alongside many accomplished artists. Along the way, I lived other chapters too, including time in a motorcycle shop, where I made lifelong friends and gathered stories that still stay with me.

I’ve also been fortunate to have a strong and loving family who have stood by me through all of it—the ups and downs that come with an artist’s life. Their support has meant more than I can put into words.

I’ve lived through the shift from analog to digital—from black-and-white television to color, from the era of The Beatles to the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. And now I find myself witnessing things I could have never imagined back then—driverless cars, humanoid robots, and technologies that blur the line between the real and the imagined. Through it all, I’ve held onto the same foundation: how to see, how to compose, and how to create with purpose using the tools at hand.

Today, I’m in a different season. I don’t have the same physical energy I once had, and I can’t always execute my ideas the way I used to. But the vision hasn’t faded. If anything, it’s clearer.

Artificial intelligence has become part of my process—not as a shortcut, but as an extension of my mind, my experience, and my faith. The prompts I write aren’t just instructions; they’re expressions of mood, memory, and intention. While much of this work begins in a virtual space, I don’t see it as something that ends there. I’ve been bringing these ideas into the physical world—translating them into tangible forms whenever I can, continuing the tradition of making that has always been a part of my life.

I’m still creating. Just differently. And I intend to keep going for as long as God allows me the creativity and time. Glory to God. This journey has been a blessing.
