The Gun Project is an ongoing attempt to print a handgun for every individual killed by a firearm in Philadelphia beginning in 2006. The goal of the project is to make visual a crime statistic that is so high, it would otherwise seem abstract. Eventually the prints will be dispersed around the city for the public to have.

"This piece is part of an ongoing public-intervention for which figurines of my family and I were created for a vending machine that sold toys of "Boricuas" (Puerto Ricans) in Chicago;s Humboldt park neighborhood. By placing figurines of my family and I into the machine, I hoped to create a balance between the general stereotypes and…"

Biography
Having been born in Puerto Rico (Mayaguez - wearing bell-bottoms) but raised in the U.S. since the age of five, traveling back and forth from the Island and Chicago, Josue feels that he's somewhere between these two cultures, probably in the Bahamas. Josue (ho.swe) - grew up between Humboldt Park and Logan square where he was introduced to art thru Graffiti and Hip Hop. He went to Kelvyn Park High School on Chicago's northwest side and then received a BFA with a minor in Biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Despite all this, he was awarded an MA from Northwestern University in Art Theory and Practice (the theory being if you practice, you'll improve - thus he keeps trying!). He's now a Chicago-based artist and works in various mediums.

"An Apple A Day" project is based on the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." The Drawing Book is one of my An Apple A Day projects involving me trying to keep myself healthy and eat an apple a day and draw or save cores and pieces of the peel of apples that I ate. I made a 366-page book (for 365 days and a title page) to draw an apple a day for a year starting on my birthday in 2006. I made simple rules: draw one apple on the page of the day, draw from a different apple each time, and skip the page on the day I didn't draw. The "completed" book with many blank pages is a record of my attempt.
