I am an artist who moved from Venice Beach, California to New York’s Financial District in January 2001. On September 11th, when the towers collapsed, papers and documents from the offices within landed on my terrace.
My wife Valerie & I were taking a cruise on the Pacific Princess to Bermuda; the last Sunday the WTC was standing, 09/09/01. I didn't realize how important this photo would become to so many people.
The Posters are a commercial representation of the original work made of metal, which can also be reproduced on any media such as T-shirts, Caps, Postcards, Stamps, etc..

I created the concept for this piece because of my strong interest in both the 911 and Titanic disasters. They are similar in that in both tragedies, many people lost their lives. In fact, more people lost their lives in 911 than on the Titanic.
The F'N B stands for FRIENDS and BROTHERS. The view is from the Statue of Liberty. This guitar is for all of GOD'S childern who lost their lives on 911.
