OtherArtByJack: Carriage House Graffiti (1990s)

This carriage house served as a parking garage when I lived down the street from in in NYC. Across the street was the back of the 23rd Street post office. I’m pretty sure it’s gone now, replaced by buildings of Baruch College. It was fun to imagine what it must have been like during the […]

OtherArtByJack: Call Box and Dog Graffiti NYC (1990s)

There used to be fire alarm boxes all over the place in NYC. I saw this one, apparently hit by a car, slightly south of Houston – on Crosby to be exact. I liked the dog graffiti behind it. A print of this 6×4″ watercolor will soon be available on my Etsy shop, OtherArtByJack.

OtherArtByJack: Uptown Doors and Standpipe (2016)

I love all the different doors I used to see during my walks in New York City. This is a print of a pen and ink sketch I did of the cityscape on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. There was a bright red standpipe sitting off to the side, which I just had to […]

AutismInfluencedArt: Abstract Double Portrait (2016)

This is one of many portraits I made of my brother Michael. It is a double portrait of Mike and me. I began two portraits with free-form curves and lines, inspired by Miró’s Constellation Series, a remarkable set of seemingly free-form works, filled with icons and fantastic creatures.  I included ovals for two faces and the icons […]

Having a low functioning autistic brother unleashes all kinds of emotions not the least of which is frustration and grief for the possibility of meaningful two-way communication. This is an abstract portrait trying to make grief visible. A matted print of this watercolor is available at my Etsy shop: AutismInspiredArt.
