Borrowed Time
As I sit here waiting to be assigned a new home by The Bureau of Prisons, all my belongings packed neatly in cardboard boxes… an old friend blesses me with a jewel…
“Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”
— Cormac McCarthy
A word from the Artist...
Aside from being my mental lifeline to the outside, this blog is an effort to help provide my beautiful son, Orion, with a little support while I am away. Any profit generated by the Ads on this blog get split between him and a charity that builds wheelchair accessible playgrounds for disabled children.
Aside from that, my spirit pretty much survives on sincere correspondence from the outside world. Letters sent by anyone are more valuable to me than clean socks. Write me, and I'll write you back.

Why?
On June 16th, 2010, I was sentenced to serve 8 years in a Federal Penitentiary, for possessing with intent to distribute, approximately 7 and half kilos of a Class A narcotic. This blog is a visual representation of that experience. Please enjoy responsibly.
Who?
For the better part of my life I have operated under the beautiful assumption that mans greatest gift is his ability to create. And so I do. My name is Dante Orpilla. I am an artist, a musician, a writer and, above all, a very proud father.
Please note that messages are sent in writing to Blackmarket Arts and due to his situation he will not be able to respond. If you would like to begin a correspondence, please write to him.
