Maybe an aside, but that's how I'm feeling today... You might've heard about the passing this week of world famous sports artist, Leroy Neiman in NYC. He was very good friend and one of God's great masterpieces as to the subject of humanity. He creatively illustrated everything as to sports in a way unlike any others out there, he was unique. He also loved magic and would routinely say to me whenever we saw each other ringside or about town, "Boykin, what you got for me today" with a boyish BIG grin and a mustache & cigar to match. (Only my pal famed fight writer Bert Sugar -Also recently deceased- could match the size of his cigar and matched his grand mustache with his ever-present big newsman fedora hat. Real life NYC). I will miss him deeply, so will the world. A true master whose life and works were absolutely magical. RIP.

Yeah, those were the days. I remember at that fight LeRoy sat right behind me at ringside sketching the moments and excitement, and always watching me coin roll a half dollar back and forth. I'd look back every so often and he'd be staring at me smiling and just shaking his head. Sitting with him were writers, Joyce Carol Oates and Norman Mailer that night (big fight fans), behind them was Mayor Rudy Giuliani and a few seats away was the Dapper Don, John Gotti. Perhaps folks might've heard of some of these? What a cross section in the cross roads of the world, NYC on a big fight night - Absolutely magical!
Hope people take the time to look here about LeRoy Neiman, he was one of America's, one of the world's greatest artists, human beings and my friend. A presence and spirit spread around the world. http://www.leroyneiman.com/leroy-neiman-biography.asp

I remember performing a show last year at a hospital and there was a serigraph of Neiman's "Bistro Garden", just outside the room where I was performing. What has always impressed my about many of his works is that although they appear abstract, up close, they show a great deal of detail from a distance. I always wondered how he was able to do that. In "Bistro Garden", the facial expressions and postures were expressed in more detail than a photograph was capable of. That's magic!
