  I came across this artist in my internet travels .... his paintings are just,, well, you have to see them for yourself! It's abstract expressionism at its finest, and easy to relate to the symbolism, especially as explained in the vid.

  Many of you, reading this, may find joy and release in expressing yourself in artistic mediums; here's what can happen if you 'go for it'.

  Check out his website at : http://www.jessblackart.com/

  Here's his youtube vid about his JW experience and latest collection:

  I hope you all enjoyed this vid,,, hoping it will go 'viral', not just for its exJW content, but this guy is talented.

  Great talent! He has courage too for coming out as he has. Commendable for a young man. I wish I could do the same with my music. I am unfortuinately afraid to lose my wife. She is not "IN" 100% anymore but she is terrified of losing her jw family. I fear that if they found out just how much I despise that organization that they would pressure her to pressure me and she just might pick them over me.

  TOTH, that is a very real fear, and one that many live with. It's very sad to me, and I'm sorry that it's your story at this moment in time.

  Did you catch the vid? His family has joined him, and seeing a young person get the support of family like that is, well, it IS! :))

  Read his bio. Very cool he is willing to share that info publicly.

  Any word why his jw-themed exhibit is down or when it will be back up? http://www.boundinblack.com/

  I am glad he got his family back; many of us are not so lucky. A great video, and I would love to have one of his paintings.
