The Book of Matthew is a coming-of-age, visual memoir that explores my journey through America's casino of false hope, sliding scale of human value, violently contagious stupidity and rugged individualism. I am neither victim nor a victor in this project. These pages are documentation of memories and experiences that have shaped me through the years. At times in this book, you will find deep-seated anger, shame, delusions of self-importance, colorism, sexism, and ill-guided paths towards self-resilience and peace. I understand that some of the pages may offend, but I assure you that I am not a politician, activist, terrorist or person of influence. In other words, I have no power to subject anyone to the ideas expressed. Finally, I expect to be "canceled" if this project falls into the right (or wrong) hands. But in order for that to happen, you have to place an order!
