"Death Wish" in Slag Glass City


I am very excited to announce that my autobiographical pictorial essay ‘Death Wish’ is now live at Slag Glass City: Dispatches.

http://www.slagglasscity.org/dispatches/death-wish-2/

'Death Wish' recounts my encounter with the actor Charles Bronson in front of my former Upper West Side home during the filming of 1974's 'Death Wish' and the real life consequences of the backlash that the film celebrated and encouraged.

'Death Wish' also contains drawings of the Upper West Side that I created for my art project, the Anna Pierrepont Series.

Thanks to Madeline Happold, Barrie Jean Borich and others at Slag Glass City who rescued ‘Death Wish’ from censorship and aided in its refinement!
