Dreadnought - Dread Knot - Dreadlock
Dreadnought: a type of battleship armed with heavy-caliber guns in turrets: so called from the British battleship Dreadnought, launched in 1906, the first of its type.
Yep, that pretty much sums him up.

Orange is The New Black is The New Art Opportunity
One of my paintings appeared on the set of the final season of Orange Is The New Black.
In the 4th episode of the season, Gloria's final flashback finds her speaking on the phone with one of the daughters she left behind in Puerto Rico after having left for the United States many years ago.
If you don't blink, you can catch a glimpse of this watercolor on the rear wall of the set!
Thank you again, #ladyprisonproductions !
