Speck Medusa
Another use of an infamous criminal, in this case, Richard Speck. I was struck by how statue-like Speck's mug shot appeared, and wanted the backdrop of Medusa.

This is a blog for sharing a series of visual images that I have created. I do not claim to be a professional artist, but I enjoy creating within visual media. The initial posts will be works created using the Microsft Paint program. It will include both sketches and altered (photographic) images, and photocollages; in some cases, it will incorporate image materials found using Google Images. Later, I will share some original photographic images.

I received a B.A. in sociology and urban studies from St. Peter's College, in M.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a PhD from Boston University, where I specialized in the sociology of knowledge, social constructionism, and social problems theory.

I am a lecturer at Lehman College – CUNY, where I teach methods, political sociology, sociology of culture, and social problems. My academic areas of interest include social constructionism, culture, politics, and micro sociological theories. I am currently researching punk rock, hip-hop, arts communities, countercultures, and connections between marxism and ethnomethodology.
