CURRENT MISSION Wanted Africa, got Harlem ABOUT ME Made it from the Red Square to the White House via the Vatican. From Lenin to Lincoln (effectively lived in DC & in Chicago, my kind of town). Then went to live in Brazil (Siberia-Brazil is a healthy tension). Came back to Chicago. Moved to NYC a few months back. For somewhat more complete info - can send you part of my 'surreal' portfolio... PHILOSOPHY The worst is over.
