It's been quite awhile since I've posted.  Last summer I finished my MFA in Illustration with the University of Hartford.  Since that time I've been very busy with a series of exhibitionsand academic symposiumscentered on The Joe Bonham Project.

  The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation recognized my New York Times' Still in the Fightseries with their annual Colonel Robert D. Heinl, Jr. Award for feature writing.
