Black History Month
These are some of the portraits I’ve painted of prominent figures of African-American heritage for Black History Month.
The Flounder
This drawing is based on a book cover illustration that I saw many years ago (from the 1970s by author Gunter Grass). It took me about forty years to get around to drawing it, but here it is.

Mexican Independence Heroes
Feliz Dieciséis de Septiembre! Happy 16th of September (Mexican Independence Day)!
Today is the 211th Anniversary of Mexican Independence from Spain on the 16th of September, 1810. Below are portraits of two of the most prominent heroes of that era of Mexican history.
This is a portrait I made of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, (Also known As El Padre De La Patria “The Father of The Fatherland”) leader of the Mexican war of independence.
