Attention serious curators and collectors! 
Now, for a word from the Black-American genius visual artist I am!!!

"I have adjusted to being a retired Public School art educator so I can unleash the Rhythmistic beast!!!!! Meaning being PG, safe for school, or worrying about being politically correct does not carry the consequences it once did. Freer to flow!!!

Yes I do create Graphic Novels, Fine Art and Wearable Art. I taught in Chicago Public Schools until I retired. I used to even coach Girls Basketball, Boys Volley Ball and Chess.

But keeping the peace on the gig meant holding back on the Rhythmistc flow.  Now I go where the Rhythm says to go!!!! Remix!  Innovate!  Dictate!  Anoint! Create!  Did I say create??

Those of you that come to hate, imitate or pirate will never rate!  Those who come in good faith and business will gravitate in a show of love, money power and prestige!

It will be featured this weekend at the CAKE EXPO at table 34B. This limited edition book features information that compares and contrasts the two major world horoscopes systems, Rhythmistic illustrations of the twelve icons along with space for personal journaling.
