Glen E. Friedman and I collaborated on an image of scholar and political philosopher Cornel West. I'm a big fan of Dr. West as a thinker and humanitarian, but my admiration is even greater after spending time with him when he came to sign the prints. We hung out and talked politics, media, education etc... I don't think I've ever met a nicer person. The experience was very inspiring. Check out some of Cornel West's writings. Glen has photos and commentary on his website. The print drops Thurs. It is signed by me, Glen, and Dr. West. A portion of the proceeds will go to The City Kids charity.
