Jason is an old friend from back in the Baltimore days. A talented, hardworking artist he needs help getting back on his feet. Please give him a hand if you can.
Props for getting this far without one, but I wish asking for help wasn't this hard. Hard emotionally and socially, in our society running on perceived value for humans.

Hey, everyone. This is definitely more difficult than I thought it would be. I am po… Jason Renzi needs your support for Help Jason Survive Financial Ruin

I've been working on a few things, one of which is a design update to a website for Philadelphia Neighborhood Networks, a community organization I support.

I'd like to especially thank them for their patience as I've struggled to get back up to speed after numerous surgeries and health issues. Finally getting there!

Philly Neighborhood Networks is an independent progressive political organization that emerged from the city’s grass roots in 2004 and has grown to include activists throughout the city and into the suburbs.

I recently helped Artist Cavin Jones (painting on left), prepare his artists book "Alice in Wonderland" (Deluxe Edition), for a third printing. We collaborated on some type and color changes, and by using a local printer as well, he was very pleased with the results.

If you're an artist with a specific vision, bringing in a design professional for implementation can improve your outcome without budgeting for an entire book design.

The book includes reproductions of Calvin's large scale series of ink drawings re-imagining “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland” and includes the artist commentary about each drawing in the series.

Cavin will be showing at the James Oliver Gallery. Opening reception: Sat., June 21st, 6-8pm
