The artist Roy Superior died last summer and I never got to meet him. But thanks to his friends, colleagues, and former students, and a magnificent show of his work at The Center for Art in Wood, I feel I have gotten to know this brilliant and funny Renaissance man, and with luck I can share him with you through this film. He moved from illustration to fine art painting and drawing ad then onto wood. His work is profoundly imaginative, beautifully crafted, and intensely humane.
