- Ira Upin – Philadelphia, PA
I have lived and worked in my studio in Philadelphia, PA since 1973. I am now 67 years old. The following is my philosophy :
At the elemental level of life itself, if you stop and think, everything is essentially something we do to keep ourselves busy between birth and death. The in between is the variable from one person to the next. Are you decent, are you compassionate, do you seek truth and a clear understanding of reality? Those are the questions I ponder to justify my life and what I do with my time.

Your paintings are badass. Slots and Nola Boys are insane! The anamorphosis is half rhino, half goat, maybe? Thanks for a great post.
