The AntiHero series continues with the mellifluous Hannibal, brilliantly portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen. Like many, when I heard about this series, my skepticism ran deep… that was, until I saw the acting by Mads and Hugh Dancy… all brought together beautifully by Bryan Fuller.
It was a beautiful two days painting alongside Gramercy Park. Not only did I explore a new stylistic approach, the Mayor of Gramercy Park — Arlene Harrison said hello, I had a traffic cop flash me his nipple, a dog peed on my easel bag, another dog left me a steaming treat, and, most pleasantly, I ran into Lisa and Co for extemporaneous cocktails in the park.
Introducing my latest painting: a portrait of Angelina Jolie. She will be joining Mickey O’Pitt in a new collection… together in life, together in art.
As a reformed Madison Avenue Tribeca-Based Advertising business director, I confess — I’ve imagined myself as Don Draper… sitting cross-legged in a fine suit trendy jeans, sipping Wild Turkey ginger-ale, smoking a cigarette smiling, pitching the world’s finest campaign mollifying the procurement department…
As magic carpet ride that is Michael Jackson, Inc. continues, I find myself in Los Angeles. I’ve been dying to paint here, so I decided to spend a few days and find the best rooftop view in Los Angeles. Thanks to Joseph and the awesome team over at Perch, mission accomplished.
Introducing Antihero #4 — Tony Soprano. Where to begin? Not only are the Sopranos my favorite painting companions, the late James Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony is one of the great character turns in history. I’ve watched the series start-to-finish ten times, and will continue to do so for years.
Sometimes that plein air comes a-callin’. Listen… always. A wonderful crew met at Sheep Meadow in Central Park on a beautiful Memorial Day to celebrate life. Here is what I painted.
It was back to Vegas… and this time, I decided to paint Insert Coins (which is so hot right now). It took three short sessions, one bloody finger and many adult beverages… but I got the job done.
