About the Item
The murder of John Lennon. The birth of my children. Nixon’s resignation. Brain surgery.
Driven by the desire to express myself, and leave a physical record of my life and times, I’ve painstaking recorded each of these events, plus thousands more - personal and not - in my visual journals.
I’ve been creating these journals - one for each year - since 1969. They create a comprehensive physical record.
These volumes present thousands of design spreads featuring illustrations and collages, plus countless thoughts, observations, opinions, and powerful quotes from literary and journalistic sources. They intertwine my personal world with notable world events and issues, people and places - in politics, literature, business, science, entertainment - and more.
As an artist and writer, I feel the unique format of the journals reflects my dual identity.
Every page, every spread is a work of art. Anyone who has seen the journals over the last half century has been intrigued, delighted and enthusiastic about them. The readable snippets of copy are artistic elements. Whether they recall the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl, the death of Princess Di, or conversing with Bill Clinton at the Central Park Zoo, they provide another dimension to the work.
I have long wanted to share these journals with the outside world. Now, advances in printing are allowing me to convert single pages and spreads into distinctive pieces of art on canvas for homes, offices, anywhere. They are dramatic, whimsical, fantastical, thought-provoking, or simply happy. They look sensational in groups of three, five, or more. Or alone. –-Doug Brin

Portrait of a Man
By David Sharpe
Located in Brooklyn, NY
David Sharpe, second-generation Chicago Imagist — 1991 figurative portrait, graphite on paper.
A psychologically charged head-and-shoulders portrait rendered entirely in graphite, emphasizing Sharpe’s incisive draftsmanship. Without color, the image leans on tonal shifts, cross-hatching, and faceted marks to build a mask-like visage that oscillates between observation and invention—classic post-Imagist Chicago: bold figuration, surreal inflection, and emotional intensity. Dated 1991, this work embodies the Chicago school’s distinctive blend of wit and bite while remaining intimately drawn and friendly in scale.
