His entire decor of his place is an art piece, even the way his living room over looks the large glass windows into the backyard where he has an array of plant life, and trees that he personally planted and grew. among his vast collection of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol ( yes authentic warhols), Calder’s, Mark Rothko’s, and manyyy more to name; among these greats were a JAYWEST ; ) “Pop Art caught slippin’” is the piece also known as “the popeye” .

Liz Andrews
As a person who is dedicated to seeing a more just nation and world, I have often found myself fighting against things. In this issue of “For the 44th on the 4th,” graphic artist and illustrator, Justin West presents a t-shirt design which visualizes our collective state as Americans. In Justin’s image, I see our flag crying, bleeding or both. The image focuses on where we have been and where we now stand. Once these things are clear, we may be able to begin thinking about what it might be like to fight for something powerful and beautiful… like love.

Urban Pulse – An exploration into identity, class and culture set against the ever evolving back drop of New York City, featuring the paintings and sculptural works of Dawn Okoro, Jordan!™ and myself, Justin West. this was an amazing show! My father was even in attendance, and that’s a huge deal. he pretty recently returned homeafter serving a bid of more than 16 years! YES that’s correct, i was 2 when he went in; so this is his first art show : )
