One of my mentors in NYC has passed. Radical painter of light, Joseph Marioni. I took photo portraits for him that are in his catalogs. He never wanted to let me paint his portrait. Maybe I can sneak one in now. Keep painting the light in heaven kind man. RIP

I created this painted memorial portrait of Patrick J. Brown for his best friend and 911 first responder Patrick Dillion.
Acrylic on canvas, 60 x 48 inches.
Patrick PADDY Brown died in the collapse of the towers on 911.
I believe he is one of New York’s greatest heroes.
His best friend Patrick Dillion dug through the pile of rubble for days looking for Paddy.

Wiki:
Patrick John Brown (November 9, 1952 – September 11, 2001)[1] was an American fire captain who served in the New York City Fire Department and a Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War.[2][3] He and his team perished during the September 11 attacks, while trying to rescue people in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Brown's remains were recovered from the rubble of the North Tower on December 14, 2001, and two weeks later his ashes were spread in Central Park, according to his wishes.[4]
In 2006, his life and times were the subject of the documentary film Finding Paddy.[5]
Jennifer Murphy's First Responders tells the story of Patrick and his brother Michael, who ultimately succumbed to 9/11 related cancer.[6][7] Michael Brown had written What Brothers Do in honor of Patrick.[8]
Patrick Brown was featured in a 2 part episode of "Rescue 9-1-1. Season 1 episodes 19 and 20.
At the National September 11 Memorial, Brown is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-27, along with other first responders.

If you want to really learn the truth from the people on the ground there and the non-sponsored uncensored alternative media. What you saw on CNN was the real fake news.
All you have to ask is “WHO WAS ARRESTED ON 911 in NEW YORK CITY” ???
