Big Dreams, Big Paintings

Most people agree that artists see the world differently
from others. In the case of Jay Lonewolf Morales, it’s really true.
When Morales was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with
monochromacy, a severe form of colorblindness. He has never seen the brilliant
blue of the sky on a gorgeous sunny day, or the purple burst of a bougainvillea,
or the vivid green of a lush lawn. He sees the world in black and white.
His inability to see color might come as a surprise to
anyone who has seen his paintings, which explode with vibrant hues.
“I never knew I was different,” says Morales. “I thought
everyone saw the way I saw.”
Morales’s family got the sign that young Jay saw things
differently when his grandfather, a painter, took the boy to the park to paint.
Morales says he followed his grandfather stroke for stroke, in an attempt to
duplicate the landscape on canvas. But his grandfather noticed that Morales was
not using the same colors. A trip to the doctor gave them the diagnosis. |

Neal Fox, after CBS stopped using
his evening news theme song |
|
By Kevin Johnson
Your music firm has contracts with some of the major
networks, including a theme attached to a high profile,
esteemed newscaster. Then, when the revered anchor
resigns from their post, gone is the theme song that has
followed them; therefore the royalties that you’ve been
enjoying for the past decade or so come to a screeching
halt. What do you do?
If you’re Neal Fox, you write a
show about it.
Now you’re probably asking who is
this famous anchor that the show revolves around. It is
none other than Dan Rather. Fox, who co-wrote the theme
to the CBS Evening News when Rather was at the helm,
will reveal all when his one man show, aptly titled
Thank You, Dan Rather, gets its world premiere at
Sixth Star Studios in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Fox says he needed to write a piece
due to his current financial situation after the theme
was dropped.
