Kicking off my BORN DAY weekend, I can only be THANKFUL and GRATEFUL!

Most of all, I PRAISE GOD for blessing me to be on this earth, and for allowing me to live this life creating ART in all its various idioms.

LOVE IS THE MESSAGE, it always has been and will always be.  Just to say, LOVE TRIUMPHS over hate.  I continue to believe this and I would like to express my sincere THANKS to everyone for supporting my creative endeavors - your support INSPIRES ME to forge forward.

I tribute PRINCE and many GEMINI innovators the likes of MILES DAVIS, ANDRE 3000, LENNY KRAVITZ, NAOMI CAMPBELL, TUPAC SHAKUR, NOTORIOUS BIG, KEENAN IVORY WAYANS, KANYE WEST, NIKKI GIOVANNI, and those born on my actual day, June 9th, JOHNNY DEPP, NATALIE PORTMAN, MICHAEL J FOX and COLE PORTER whose lyrical genius needs no introduction.

One GEMINI I have yet to mention is JOSÉPHINE BAKER whose Born Day just passed on June 3rd.  I am over-the-top excited regarding the global premiere of GOIN BANANAS!  THE JOSÉPHINE BAKER EXHIBIT, the first FINE ART exhibit in history starring her, as presented by myself and Cynthia McCoy, Artistic Director.

MICHAEL KILGORE and "MIKEL KILGOUR" who emerged when I was 15 years old and no doubt: There is constant creative CONFLICT between my TWINS and that's where my ART begins!
