Inflation is upon us, and I’ve taken note. Last month, I shipped a painting — the timeline for delivery (and price) doubled! Nevertheless, around the holidays, I love to take care of my collectors… so, until November 15th — I’m offering free global shipping on existing work.
As for commissions? I am signing contracts through the end of the year, but will not be available to begin new works until February/March 2022.
Thank you for the love and support through, yet, another unusual year.
Year 13 of my 20-Year-Guggenheim Series called for something special… but I found myself rudderless. That is… until I spotted a brilliant photo on the Guggenheim Museum Twitter account… snapped by @NYCLOVESNYC — aka, Noel Y. Calingasan.
I’m sure you can see why I was so taken. As it happens, I reached out to Noel, and he graciously allowed me to use his photo as the source image for this painting.
And thanks to Noel, “Bright Lights, Big City Guggenheim” was born — named, with an obvious nod, to the brilliant Jay McInerney (a gent I spotted at Elaine’s a few times, back in the day).

Fear and Loathing in downtown Jackson Hole... 90 minutes to create a work in front of hundreds... will it be a monster or a beauty?
September 18, 2021 — 9:00AM — Jackson Hole Town Square — Hello friends, I’m delighted to announce, that I will be participating in my fourth Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival Quickdraw. Beginning at 8:00AM, sharp, we artist’s will have 90 minutes to create a piece — which will then be auctioned, live, in the tent adjacent to the square.
Back in 2018, I created a painting of the 15th hole at Teton Springs, which was reproduced as the bag-tag for our member-guest tournament. That weekend, the now Bronze Buffalo Sporting Club at Teton Springs, hosted an art exhibit showcasing my portraits.
During the reception, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman named Stan Pajerski. He was interested in a portrait, so I snapped some photos… and, well? The rest is history…
I’m excited to share a beautiful feature, penned by Jenn Rein, and published in the May/June 2021 issue of Artist’s Magazine.
You can click on any image for closer inspection — and, if you’d like to read the entire piece, you can view/download the pdf here.
Non-Fungible Tokens… NFT’s… it’s a brave new world for creatives. And, like a realtor riding the post-pandemic splendor — I dove in. My first foray into the Ethereum Blockchain? A series entitled, “Crib Kawara, Meta Reboot”. Say what?
I’ll explain… but first, let’s journey back to the early 1970’s…
Will ‘The Masters’ body of work become the next ‘Guggenheim Series‘? It’s the perfect marriage of art, performance (live streams) and my love of the game (six triples in my 2021 debut for a sterling 98).
Time will tell… for now? Let’s dig into the process of behind bad boy.
If you find yourself in Los Angeles, head over to 3330 S Figueroa Street at dusk… look upward… and soak in Felix Chevrolet’s majestic sign. If the movies have taught us anything, it’s this — product placements are everywhere. E.T. could have desired M&M’s… but Mars dropped the ball, and he got them Reeses. For headaches, Wayne Campbell prefers Nuprin, for they are, “little, yellow, different.”
Yes, the 80’s, 90’s and today… era’s so ripe with brand crossovers — it has become the norm. Now — turn back the clock to 1921, and imagine how innovative the collaboration between Pat Sullivan’s cartoon cat Felix, and Winslow B. Felix‘s car dealership was? Brilliant. And so, please join me on a creation adventure, shared through pictures and prose.
