The Interval…Black and White Charcoal on Toned Paper

"The Interval" is the work I produce in between projects for clients.  For me, rest and play is followed by guilt and regret for the missed opportunity to enhance my abilities as an artist….Therefore, The Interval.

HELLO I'M JOHNNY CASH September 2014

There’s never been anyone like music legend Johnny Cash. His deep voice is instantly recognizable, and his heartfelt songs resonate with listeners of all ages and backgrounds. G. Neri captures Johnny’s story in beautiful free verse, portraying an ordinary boy with an extraordinary talent who grew up in extreme poverty, faced incredible challenges, and ultimately found his calling by always being true to the gift of his voice. A. G. Ford’s luscious paintings of the dramatic southern landscape of Johnny Cash’s childhood illuminate this portrait of a legend, taking us from his humble beginnings to his enormous success on the world stage.
