The Neon Cowboy

I decided to invent a neon painting. The concept: a cowboy on a bucking horse, swangin’ his Indiana Jones style whip, atop electric grass, with the mighty Tetons far off in the distance… my result? “The Neon Cowboy” — not to be confused with “The Electric Horseman“.

Eustace And The New Crisis — a UN Refugee Agency Collaboration

Remember the iconic New Yorker cover "View of the World from 9th Avenue"? I need a designer/artist to create something similar. Thoughts?

— Brian Reich (@BrianReich) November 5, 2015

It began with a tweet. Alan Rich responded, recommending yours truly — one hour later, I was on a call with Brian Reich of the UN Refugee Agency, discussing the project.

The concept? A New Yorker-inspired painting, addressing the Global Refugee Crisis. Brian’s original 9th Avenue World View idea, transformed to a modern take on the original New Yorker cover, featuring Eustace Tilley… the New York Dandy.

Bar Fedora Neon Sign Painting

The neon train continues with this 14″X18″ canvas of Fedora — a West Village staple (now gratuity free).

This painting wasn’t going to happen. I was focused on moving our family from Minnesota to Idaho, when I completed packing five days early. A blank canvas taunts a painter like a blank page tortures the writer — so, I got to work.

Road Trip! Minnetonka To Victor, Idaho With Greg McMahon
