Over thirty-plus years of our friendship, Fermin's passion for art and creativity were surpassed only by his love for his dog, Ooby Dooby. For the sixteen years of Ooby's life, Fermin would walk her through the streets of Long Beach, where he began noticing lifelike images on the sidewalks and streets. He began taking photos of these images (thus concrete images) to show to his friends and family for their enjoyment. The encouragement he received from those close to him resulted in what you see in his art. Some of the images are easily identified while others require thought and imagination. With thousands of photos in his portfolio he was able to select several unique characters that bring this story to life.view less
