Below is a photo I took of my painting of Lincoln in the window of Andiamo! in historic downtown Springfield. Note the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office and Old State Capitol in the reflection. Here's a link to the actual 3'X4' painting . I ended up painting out the letters at the bottom because people complained about them so much. You can see the painting on display at Phil's Lounge, across from the Vinegar Hill Mall where the Loft and Baur's used to be, upstairs.

I am an actor at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum , a local artist and musician, and an enlightenment activist living in Springfield, Illinois. I have been the community producer of a local cable access show on Access 4, Blowing the Whistle , since 1996, a volunteer DJ at WQNA 88.3 FM since 2000 and at InterFACE Pirate Radio, London since 2002.
