Year Anniversary
Sergeant Robert
wilson was approaching back in march. And, um, he hadnt really had any photos of him because he got promoted to sergeant after he passed away. So i wanted to paint something of him in uniform as a sergeant. Officer castro made the portrait of sergeant wilson. It was received well by the family and others and almost by accident he had a new mission. You make these roughly eight hours on each of them. Give them away . Yeah. I mean, its something so the family has to remember them by. Not even just their husband and wives but maybe their brothers, sisters, sons, daughters they can each have a copy and they can hang it in their own place. They can change the color up here. Not just making a portrait. When he post the pictures on social media with personal description, officer castros art is making a statement.

If they had three children, i put that in there to let people know not just a cop died arc father died or somebodys husband died. Trooper weaver was the last of 2016. He was gunned down out in pennsylvania. Clearly officer castro is committed to his service to grieving loved ones but focusing on so many lot of lives it has and impact. Youre sitting here doing this work that means somebody else lost their life. Yeah. Its a shame because in 2016 there was 136 officers that passed away at one point there was a time when i think five died in one week i was like i cant. Its impossible to do that. Because the time i was done two, like two more died. Officer castros work has gained a following of appreciative people some would like to purchase the prints. I just concept the money. I would donate the money. Regardless it would go to the police survives fund or go to some way to help officers. Officer castros goal is to make sure that we remember in death something that all too often we forget in life. That these officers had families, they had fririends, underneath those uniforms they were people first. Who have grieving loved ones and they deserve our respect for
Goodness Sake

Maybe you agree with this. The process himself, mr. Joel embiid. My commentary on why every philadelphia sports fan should be following everything sean brace believes joel embiid is revolutionizing the
Center Position
. This commentary is coming up in just 152nd. Throughout history when you talk nba centers you think about them being big and bulky not being able to defend the three and most definitely not pulling up from outside the arc either. Players like wilt, kareem, shack and all the way to present day like roy hibbard thats what the
Center Position
look like. Here we are in 2017 and that em page needs to be kicked to the curb. I think its real easy for all of us to see that joel embiid is special. Worth every bit of the wait we went through over the last two seasons. Em bed is only 27 games into his career and has shown us flashes that make you believe hell be the best center in the game by the end of the year. As embiid continues to get better, on the court, its off the court that separates him from all the others. Whether its social media come back, his love for shirley temples or him not being afraid to tweet former
