Today I’m partnering with The Skateroom to release a limited edition set of 5 skateboard decks with my 1981 photo of ”Cops on the Subway". I hand-signed 50 boards! Sales will help build the first skateparks and create educational programs in underserved communities around the world. I was honored that Bob Davan, one of the NYPD officers in the photo supported this project and came to my opening at the Bronx Documentary Center. Sadly his partner Ed is no longer with us. Hopefully the boards will bring back memories of a very different New York City. @theskateroom @bronxdocumentarycenter

Mandi Caskey painted “Bringing the Light Home”, a self-portrait in an underwater scene reflecting the grief she feels for her parents who have passed away. On her Instagram @miss.birdy , she movingly writes that the piece is not about drowning but about learning to breathe differently. @wynwoodwallsofficial #onlyhuman
