“Broken Boy (In Memory Of Tom WhiteScarver)”

As some of you may or may not know.. last week I lost a very dear friend of mine named Tom Whitescarver. Though he has been living out of state for many years now, and we didn’t get to see each other much. He was someone whom I did and do hold a very special place in my heart for. Needless to say, him passing away was a heavy blow for me and everyone who loved’em.

In trying to find ways to persevere and deal with losing him from this Earthly plain, I w3rked quite diligently last Thursday and Friday to complete this 2 foot-ish tall mixed media painting/assemblage in Tom’s honor. I believe it expresses much about of both Tom and I’s character, as well as even displaying some of the deeper intangible qualities of which one may feel as a human being living on planet EarF.

At the minimum.. It looks Bad-Ass!, and is in honor of my fallen homeboy.

Gone but never forgotten… -I love ya Tommyboy!
