Quwwa Davis is the youngest of three children and is a life-long resident of Dallas, Tx. As a child, art to him was coloring books and wheels, and the most important rule was to stay within the lines to keep it neat!
Growing up as a teenager he was mostly involved in playing…

Great story in the New York Times and the Boston Globe about
the inspiration created by President Obama:"Perhaps not since John F. Kennedy, whose dusty portraits can still be seen in kitchens and barbershops and alongside the antique beer cans at bars like Manuel’s Tavern in Atlanta, has a presidency so fanned the flames of painterly ardor among hobbyist and professional artists," reports Randy Kennedy in the…

I had the priviledge of meeting Hassan in the mid 80's when I lived in Hollywood, California and as fate has it, our paths crossed again.
He now lives in Chicago and has been there since the late 80's, but Hassan's history goes back to the mid 60's when this master bass player, at the time in his teens, was playing with "The First Family of Soul" The Five Stairsteps, best known for their 70's song O-o-h Child.
In the early 70's Hassan was playing with another legendary…

Hello everyone. I thought I'd pass along some information that you might find interesting about new arrival routes that the Federal Aviation Administration has implemented into Los Angeles International Airport. Planes fly the same paths as they have traditionally flown, but they make less noise and emit less pollution into neighborhoods under and around the flight path.
Below is some information that I sent to the Los Angeles Times a couple of weeks ago. Below that is the story that…

Steven Lopez - The Artist
"I was fond of art at an early age. When I was 4 years old my mom drew a cartoon character on paper. I nearly passed out from the excitement when she drew it. I remember my grandmother and I would take the bus to the Downtown fashion. I would sit next to the windows and noticed huge murals around the neighborhoods. When I would go to Sunday mass, the local church had a mural that I would look at when I… Continue

I’m Coming
Hey you!
I was hoping I could see you tonight.
He was like…
“I’m coming”
And like a thief in the night he came
Framed me with his attention
And with every extension
he loved me hard.
My guard had dissolved
as he solved every single problem
I had created from past anxieties.
The fight in me wanted to…
