Artist Cbabi Bayoc thinks he may have found his defining project with "365 Days With Dad."

"For the entire year of 2012, I will paint a new image of fatherhood every day," he said. "They will be positive images, black men with their children."

Bayoc, 39, lives in south St. Louis with his wife and three kids. His wife owns and runs Sweet Art From Scratch Bakery at 2203 S. 39th St. in St. Louis. Bayoc grew up in O'Fallon and is an alumnus of Southwestern Illinois College and Grambling State University.

He was Clifford Miskell Jr. when he graduated from O'Fallon Township High School. But he later changed his name, which stands for Creative Black Artist Battling Ignorance and his last name for Blessed African Youth Of Creativity.
