Today is my dad’s birthday – and appropriately, I found this illustration he did for a Father’s Day card. Love you dad! See more of his brilliant work below and after the jump.
here’s some amazing photos of my dad i found in my grandmother’s photo collection. The giant family portrate has my dad’s father and his uncle in the background. That’s was the look of a stermer male including my uncle until my dad. happy fathers day.

From the early sixties to the late eighties, my grandparents ran a riding stable business in upstate NY called the “Circle B.” My dad and my uncle were the child/slave labor/employees. My grandfather only advertised in one newspaper, which I think was called the “Long Island Catholic.”
In 1996, I went off to college and met Mike Stermer. We were roomates for three years during school, and two years after. At our college graduation, Mike found out that his grandparents (who were from Long Island) had stayed at the Circle B several times in the sixties. A couple years later, Mike found this picture; on the right is Mike’s mom (on the horse) and my dad (with the cowboy hat).
Coincidence? Or FATE?
My dad, (Greg Boggia) in "The Age of Innocence"
In the early nineties, my dad was an extra in Martin Scorsese’s film, “The Age Of Innocence.” If you want to look for this scene, it is about 3/4 of the way through the movie, and there is an Enya song playing.
I have never actually watched the whole movie. However, in 1993 I was watching a preview of it on HBO because I knew my dad was an extra, and all of a sudden, there he was. And here he is.
