This is a 6×4 fine art print matted to 7×5 of graffiti street art near New York City’s West Village. In fact, the Studio School is on West 8th in New York City. I pen and inked and watercolored this sketch from a 1989 photo I took. My Etsy Shop, OtherArtByJack, will be opening any […]

OtherArtByJack: Uptown Doors and Standpipe (2016)

This is an abstract portrait trying to make grief visible. A matted print of this watercolor is available at my Etsy shop: AutismInspiredArt.

This watercolor is available as a matted print on 140# acid-free paper, at my Etsy shop, AutismInspiredArt.
