As some of you may or may not know.. last week I lost a very dear friend of mine named Tom Whitescarver. Though he has been living out of state for many years now, and we didn’t get to see each other much. He was someone whom I did and do hold a very special place in my heart for. Needless to say, him passing away was a heavy blow for me and everyone who loved’em.
In trying to find ways to persevere and deal with losing him from this Earthly plain, I w3rked quite diligently last Thursday and Friday to complete this 2 foot-ish tall mixed media painting/assemblage in Tom’s honor. I believe it expresses much about of both Tom and I’s character, as well as even displaying some of the deeper intangible qualities of which one may feel as a human being living on planet EarF.
At the minimum.. It looks Bad-Ass!, and is in honor of my fallen homeboy.
Gone but never forgotten… -I love ya Tommyboy!

I think this piece of art is both a reflection of you and your relationship with tommy boy whitescarver. He was an awesome entity and he will remain with us for the rest of our lives. I am grateful that you can create such beauty and share it with people like me. I will miss Thomas Whitescarver forever and a day…
Tom would be so happy to see what you have done for him. I feel Honored in his place not only to have such beautiful work done in his sake but also because he loves guys you so much (I can not stress this enough so will say it again he LOVES YOU SO MUCH). I know he was rite ware he wonted to be. I must also apologize for not contacting anyone. This is the first time I have shared my feeling about this with anyone. As I am sure you have seen in the past when me and Tom spend alot of time together I become very codependent on him emotionaly. Well I was very lucky to live with him for the past 2 yrs. There was nothing I ever had to face on my own. No matter how crazy my thoughts got I could always speek freely. Tom would never judge me for my Demonds. When I was scared of evrything he had enough Courage for both of us to face anything. For the first time in my life I am truely alone. Tom was invincible in my eyes so i am a bit confused. Thank you bother for make him happy and beleive me you both made him very happy. You are true frinds. Hugs and kisses to you both. Deffinatly forever and a day…
