I
am an artist and life-long resident of Nashville, TN. My work is heavily
influenced by American folk art, graffiti and underground comix.
I primarily work in acrylics on canvas but I often incorporate found
pieces of paper or other objects in my paintings. I also dabble in
sculpture using wood and found objects to create robots.
Some of my art is below.
More can be viewed at my website.
Many people ask me about my curious obsession with Abe Lincoln. It stems from a hallucination I had while suffering through a sever bout of food poisoning. In the hallucination, there was a voodoo doctor who led me into a room with numerous folk art figures cut out of tin and wood. The voodoo doctor instructed me to eat one of the figures because it would make me well. Unfortunately, he would not tell me which one to eat. Only through a process of trial-and-error would I discover that Abe Lincoln was the one who restored my health. Since that event, I have met many people who share my obsession with Abe.
Where I live:
I draw a lot of inspiration from my neighborhood. I live on the east side of Nashville. It is a rapidly changing area filled with interesting dynamics. There are beautifully restored historic homes just blocks away from crack houses and street corner prostitutes. There is always the uncomfortable juxtaposition of street hustlers and yuppies.

CHEETHAM'S ZOMBIES - PHOTO COOKIES Are now available to order for your Halloween parties, Haunted Attractions, Concerts, Movie Premieres, and Zombie Walks! We take a regular photo of you, turn you into a zombie, and place you on the very cookies you choose to sell at your event, or hand out as treats...but that's not all we can do. We can take your logo, your promo posters, our photos of your cast members or attractions, and place them on the cookies too! These are literally one of a kind treats, the cookies you order will be shipped to nobody else. Each cookie has a vivid image of your choice and are delicious. They come wrapped in cellophane with your choice of ribbon color and are then packaged in individual boxes (as seen in the photo above, boxes are optional). These are truly, edible works of dark art. If you would like more info on pricing or zombie makeovers, feel free to contact me here on Myspace or go to myphotocookie.com You won't be disappointed!
Hey Hoop, How have you been? It's been real busy here preparing for Corkfest and the Day of the Dead art shows and playing with numerous bands. It looks like I'm going to have a permanent position with the Memphis P-Tails. Also played great shows recently with Joe Daddy and Felix y los Gatos.
Still working on getting our P-T cruiser fixed after a fender bender a couple weeks ago. The other driver who was at fault wanted to keep the insurance companies out of it. But so far he has only come up with half the cost of the repairs.
We're very exited because my daughter Aiysha is going to come up for a visit at the end of the month.
