Painting Process The Guggenheim #4
Back in 2009, my first professional painting was of The Guggenheim. This became an important landmark for my career, so I decided to try it again in 2010. Finally, I decided to make one each year for 20 years. This black-and-white canvas marks year #4 of 20.
Painting Process Fred Lebow Portrait
Fred Lebow — runner, innovator, ladies man, founder of the New York City Marathon. Growing up on Long Island, I watched this race each year, dreaming of one day winning it myself. Alas, it was never meant to be, but my connection to running still runs deep.
Painting Process The Chrysler Building at Magic Hour
I’m pleased to release my latest commission: The Chrysler Building at Magic Hour. This painting was based on a series of photographs taken from the Rare rooftop bar one fine, late-spring evening.
Painting Process Roberto Benigni as Johnny Stecchino
Did you know that means Toothpick in Italian? It also means a fine place to be in Hell’s Kitchen.
Central Park Art Session With Jake Nelson and Company
This past Saturday, myself, fellow artist Jake Nelson and some of my favorite people got together to enjoy a beautiful day in Gotham.
Painting Process The Guggenheim Rotunda in Grey and White
The lure of The Guggenheim is simply too great. No, this isn’t Guggenheim #4… my 20 years of Guggenheim’s are painted in the same location on 89th and 5th Avenue, of the opposite view, on 30″X30″ canvases… This black and white painting was made to support Frank’s Doors — treat it like Chicago politics, vote early and often.
Painting From Cabana 119, Surrender, Las Vegas at The Encore
Upon finishing the Four Queens on Fremont Street, we banged over to The Encore for a six hour live painting session at Surrender. We began at 10PM and painted until 4AM. Rocking out from our private cabana, it was VIP Vegas, and it was spectacular.
Barelesque Las Vegas, Live Auction, The Gazillionaire, BCEFA
Thanks to the wonderful and talented Paula Caselton and Jerry Mitchell — Ari Lankin, Paul Zepeda and yours truly were invited to live paint at Broadway Bares Las Vegas. 2012’s edition entitled “Barelesque” was a sexy, rollicking good time.
Painting Process The Four Queens, Fremont Street Las Vegas
If you have been to Las Vegas, and haven’t been to Fremont Street, you haven’t experienced Vegas. Last year, Ari Lankin and yours truly set-up on the street to paint the El Cortez Hotel. This year, thanks to Lisa Robinson, we had the VIP Fremont Experience in front of the storied Four Queens Hotel and Casino.
