Everything from oil paintings of 1950s baseball fields to pencil sketches of Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, and the Beastie Boys will appear in the book. He'll also share anecdotes and discuss the connotations behind the art.
"I was raised with an artist's mentality; my first 25 years were spent as somebody who wanted to live among graphics and artwork and illustration, and then for the next 30 years it was all music," he said in a statement. "In the last six years, I've reverted back into the arts, combining all of these elements in my work, still trying to change the world."
Chuck's journey into the arts began years ago when he attended Adelphi University in Long Island, where he studied graphic design, deepening his interests in the medium. His book is the culmination of a string of his exhibitions appearing at Gallery 30 South, Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects Gallery and Adelphi University.
