Eric Calloway (@Talleric666) is a painter and photographer who works in his living room and on the streets of Hartford, CT. As an adult with ADHD, his thoughts fire at a mile a second. His paintings are a visual representation of that, capturing each emotion and treating each stroke as if it were visual poetry.
