He was involved in films such as Punch the Clock and Dark Side of Genius, and music videos such as Madonna's "Oh Father", "Express Yourself" and "Like a Prayer".
Portraits of influential figures such as President Bill Clinton and athlete Shaquille O’Neal are some of his most prominent works.
This show consisted of 16 paintings, one carved sculpture of a 15-year-old black Union soldier, and a 40-page hand-painted book visually illustrating an interplanetary diary of the War.
