Bayoc’s 2012 painting series, “365 Days with Dad,” reflects a positive image of black fatherhood. Following that series, Bayoc wrote a book titled “When I Become Dad,” which he describes as “a few images and words of encouragement for our youth to think about when that magical day comes when they themselves become someone's "daddy." Especially those that have not had the best of examples. Please place this in the hands of as many young (and not so young) men as you possibly can.
