Chuck D says, For a PErson like myselfan aged distance beyond a half century of life on EarthI have experienced a vast array of PEople, PlacEs & Things. The memories are always a looping swirl in my mind. I'm often asked about them and I consider myself a decent storyteller. As an illustrator, I'm able to recreate that point of view as I saw it. So Interficial ARTelligence: Moments That Met Me is a tale with images from my PErspective in a time when so many people listen with their eyes.
