A single second is the most powerful measurement of time. It can symbolize the last fleeting moment before an end or the clear mark of a new beginning. It might stand for both, as a once dire situation finds its way to fate and a chance to start over. It's then that :01 becomes the most significant moment in a persons life. It's the blessing born of hardship. Honesty, destiny and happiness sometimes find their way easiest after dirt is kicked in our faces. This work is my :01. What's yours?

SOLD OUT. Hand cut stencil and spray paint on heavy card stock. Edition of 10. Signed and numbered. 100% of the proceeds from both prints have been donated to UNICEF for disaster relief in Haiti. In total, almost $5,000 dollars was raised and donated directly to the charity, as a handful of people generously paid far beyond the asking price of the prints. Sincere thanks to all who supported my effort with this.
