Welcome to
The home for T.Paul's art & the myspace artists, galleries, and magazines that he digs!
If ya don't know T.Paul, he's a painter, artist, writer, poet, emcee/host, sideshow performer, actor, educator, freelance broadcaster, and many, many more things! Jack of all, master of many, pretty good to okay at a few! THis group is for other artists to come on by & say "Hi" to him, share on their upcoming shows & work, and generally socialize for shits 'n giggles, so have a good time heer, m'kay?!?
T.Paul's an adopted fella who is fortunate enough to've found & become friends with his birth mother, Ruth Janes who is also an incredibly talented artist. He comes by his art honestly - that combination of nature & nurture I supose, as his parents (adoptive) always support him in all of his artistic endeavors, and the talent itself is in his blood!! For my bio-mom's art, click here.
Both his sis & he are adopted from different families, and they both have met our birth folks (me, just my mon - her, both mom & dad) and T.Paul's story turned out for the better. These things don't always play out as well as one would wish! Ruth (his bio mom) and he, from our first phone conversation years ago which must've lasted for 6 hours or so, became immediate friends, and they still talk almost every day! Granted, their subject matters & styles differ greatly art-wise, but she sure can weild a brush & pen, as can her sonny boy!
And this...
is T.Paul , and if ya click on him, you'll be whisked away to his personal profile!

Occassionally, folks'll ask of T.Paul "Why the hair? What's with the 50's look? Are ya some kinda weirdo or somethin'?" and hopefully the above photo will assist in the explaination of this. Having lived out his formative years in Camden Town, London (England), most of T.'s mates were Teds from his neighborhood. That was the direction clothing and music-wise he chose at 11 years old, and he ain't looked back since - LOL!
Best,
T. PAUL |
