Below are just a few from what I referred to as Imaginary Landscape or Semi-Classical Sketch Page. They are from throughout the 1980s. I did hundreds of paintings and drawings during that period. Scroll down for a few.
​     At the time I was actively showing in The East Village and living at 217 Bowery between Rivington and Stanton.
​     I was working as both a mover and a cab driver, raising a very young son, painting and staying away from the clubs and coke that defined that period.
​     My studio doubled as a playhouse for my son while the street below functioned as an open air latrine and asylum.
​    The sort of free form, paradoxical stream of consciousness in these paintings, fit well with that place and at that the time.
