I think another man who tell the truth is: Jeff Ventura.

Dear Guiseppe,
Great to hear from someone in Italy.
I think you meant Jesse Ventura. And I agree with you, I hope readers here will go to the website you list above and at least read the statement on his home page. Very accurate.
All the best,

Wow your artwork is very amazing! I came here looking for information of Dorothea Lange and I noticed that you are a very fine artist. I am a artist myself, struggling to excel in the field of realistic art, but I hope that maybe I will be able to gain some inspiration from you to try harder!

Dear Kaytlin,
Thanks for writing. Yes, the main thing is to persevere. But have fun doing it. It should be serious play. Send me some pictures of your work.
Best,

I want to commend you for an outstanding roster of brave, honest Americans. Some of those present already were such a joy to see: Bill Moyers, Molly Ivins, Lewis Lapham. Obviously, you receive many, many recommendations for others deserving to be on this list. I will add a few names I trust you have considered already but just in case would not want you to overlook:
Upton Sinclair
Diane Wilson (Texas environmental activist, imprisoned repeatedly)
Anne Richards
Joseph Romm
Thanks, and keep at it!

Dear Brian,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have painted Diane Wilson. She's a great inspiration to me. Look on page 6 of the portraits. I should do Upton Sinclair. I don't know anything about Joseph Romm. I need to do some homework.
Best,

Stumbled here fortuitously looking for information on Ella Baker - your work is wonderful - using your visual skills to express the elevated human essence is a gift to the world; thank you! I recommend
Babara Lee, the only person in Congress to vote against the invasion of Iraq - she had to have bodyguards to protect her from death threats! Also Saul Alinsky...keep going!

I stumbled upon these wonderful paintings looking for information on Amy Goodman, one of my personal heroes. I can't say just how uplifting and inspirational I find them. Thank you so very much.

Your comment does the same for me that the portraits do for you!

Dr. John F. Edland, Medical Examiner, 1971 Attica Uprising. He told the truth of the deaths of the many who were shot by police and not, as was reported, killed by the prisoners. He did this against tremendous pressure and at great long term cost to himself. He would make a great addition to your collection!

Mr. Shetterly,
I received a calendar from the A&P store here in Stamford CT and was just looking through the pictures of each month. I was drawn back to the painting of Louis D. Brandeis. I mainly was looking at the incredible painting, use of color, etc. as I am a painter myself. I had to see who the painter was (as the painting reminded me somewhat of Alice Neel's work which I love!), then I had to check out your website! Wow! What a wonderful light you have placed on "truth" and the people who bring us that gift! I thank you for your dedication to this endeavor and look forward to seeing the book.

Dear Tracy,
thank you for your kind words.... and the comparison to Alice Neel. She's one of my favorite portrait artists.
Best,
