“Good to be Home”

Painting, 2012

Cbabi Bayoc

365 Days With Dad is the inspiration and brainchild of St. Louis artist Cbabi Bayoc.

Bayoc, whose dad died when he was 11, has portrayed fathers in African-American families throughout his career. This year, the father of three is prioritizing his emphasis on dads in a much bigger way.

365 Days with Dad is Bayoc’s New Year’s resolution and the name of his project. He plans to paint one father figure each day for the entire year.

The original paintings will be 18 x 24 inches and sell for $200, well below his typical asking price of $1,400. Bayoc will also offer smaller, limited edition, high-quality prints for $50 each.
