Las Vegas History In Realtime — The Vegas Vickie NFT Project

Las Vegas, NV — On January 28th — I began a painting of Vegas Vickie, on-location, at Circa Resort & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas. Typically, I finish a work, post it here — and that’s a wrap. However, Vegas Vickie is a demanding mistress — the painting wasn’t enough.

With this, the wheels of history were put in motion. What began as a conversation with Mr. Jeff Victor, Vice President of Circa, is coming to life — in the Vegas Vickie NFT Project.

On February 2, 2022… I signed Vickie to a round of applause (I share this detail, because it’s extremely rare and incredibly awesome for an artist).

In attendance were… Circa Owner Derek Stevens, Mr. Victor and his lovely wife Sheila (pictured above with yours truly); Scott Roeben of Vital Vegas, the amazing Circa team that supported me all week; a group of my beloved friends including Brandy, Patrick, Raiderman, Chas, Pat, Shannon, Garrett and Angelica; and, of course, some beautiful casino patrons.

Behind the scenes — our historic blockchain project was already under way. Before I go way back and tell you everything — check out The Vegas Vickie NFT Splash Page. Sign-up with your email — we’ll discover the future together.
