John,
Eddie Alvarez here, how long have you been making these? I've been making night paintings (among other stuff) myself since about 2003 when I was at UM. Apparently we have alot in common, as I am also from Jersey, born in Newark. And I even also use Blogger (http://artpost.blogspot.com). Anyhow, these look good. I'll be showing some night paintings at the World Arts Building on 2214 N. Miami Ave on Sept.9 if you wanna check it out. I think we should meet, maybe we can put a show or something together.
take it easy, hope to hear from you, eddie

Hey Eddie, thanks, I believe we did meet a while back. I was an intern for Brook Dorsch, I think you passed by before you moved back to Jersey(?). I'll definetly check out your show on Sept.9. I have a brother that lives in Newark. Jersey will always be home. How did you find my blog?

Oh, I think I remember that. Thats crazy, well I meant it, these look good. I never followed up with Brook and now wish I had. I'm serious about doing something together I think it'd be a hell of a show. The night painters of Miami or something crazy like that. Anyhow I found your blog through Artblog.net a while back and been meaning to post something. I'm kind of living in both Jersey and Miami now. but I'll be down for that show in sept. and then again in Oct. for another show. Hope to see you then. I'll send you an email flyer for the show. when I get it.

My dearest and son

A Memoir of sorts Part 1.

 I come from a background of divorce and grit. My young mother, with dreams bigger than her reality, married a much older man. He was an airline pilot in Cuba, his third marriage, and I’d be the last of his many kids. He was 64 when I was born, my mother in her early thirties. The man was tired, worn out. They divorced when I was three, in New Jersey. Immigrants, scraping by with hard work and blue-collar jobs. My father took whatever work he could find, mostly driving trucks. The communists in Cuba had torpedoed any real chances for future success in the United States. My two brothers and I ended up on public assistance. Then my mother started dating another man, and that’s when the real chaos began. Drugs and alcohol stormed into our lives, ushering in years of domestic violence, drama, and constant moving. New schools, new roach-infested apartments every six months. One day, a neighbor had a garage sale. We couldn’t afford much, but my eyes lit up when I saw a trunk full of draw...
