11"x14" Pencil drawing. Portrait of Geranimo. Image recieved National attention because artist created this work while homeless and living in a Community Park next to a creek in Roseville Ca. To draw attention to the fact that homeless people could have talent and abilities the would benefit society.After the article was run in the Forum section of most Major California newspapers,the Law enforcement authorities started removing the homeless people from that area by force in an attempt to cover up mishandling of federal funds earmarked for homeless relief aide.

Oh yes... this is it. You've captured something here that most miss. I can't stop staring at this image. One of my favorites on AW. Keep up the good work!David Holcombe 03 May 2006
This is a powerful portrait. I like the fine detailing of the face, but also the subtle skulls which spill off onto the shulder. Those evoke death, of course, and loss, and history which makes this portrait more than a portrait. Good luck and keep drawing/painting.Anonymous Guest 18 Mar 2006
