2022 began with a trip to Circa Resort & Casino to create this 30″X40″ painting of Vegas Vickie, on-location. In collaboration with Circa — we used this work as the cornerstone for a pioneering series of NFT’s, with suite (ha) utility. Word on The Street? This is big news.

Back in my NYC advertising days, I met a talented creative director by the name of David. We stayed in touch when I moved out West… and, in following my career, he was kind enough to introduce me to his good Jackson Hole-based friends — the Faupel’s.
Matt, Julie and yours truly struck-up a conversation… and decided to collaborate on a commission. We wanted something that embraced classic Americana, but with a contemporary touch. So, what better to create than a neon version of Grant Wood’s “American Gothic”?

For the fifth time in five years, I joined 29 fabulous artist’s on Town Square to participate in the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival QuickDraw. The rules? Artist’s may complete their works to 25% in advance of the event… at precisely 8:00AM, a horn blows, and we have 90-minutes to create.
Immediately upon completion — the works are live-auctioned in front of a live audience. Stressful? Invigorating? Exhausting? All of this, and more.

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.
I’m excited to share a beautiful feature, penned by Jenn Rein, and published in the May/June 2021 issue of Artist’s Magazine.

Ah, retrospect. This is how I kicked-off the year. On the precipice of 2021, we now know the answer is “less of 2020.”
Friend — destinations to digest the horrors of 2020 are legion… worry not! This is a happy place.
So grab a cocktail (you deserve it), kick back, and let’s have a look at some quarantine-driven creativity.
Only 113 days remain in 2020. This 366 day lap around the sun is about ceding control. And so, while creating the 12th work in my 20-year Guggenheim Painting Series — I embraced our new reality, and went rogue. This was painted entirely with my left hand. First with a brush, then with a palette knife. There was no plan… like 2020? It simply happened.
Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear, well, he eats you.

Being surrounded by the wondrous art created by my children, the importance of spontaneous creativity is palpable. Art, like life, is about routine, protocol, strategy… and sometimes, you must eschew the standard, and simply create.
Introducing, my latest neon painting — ‘The Virginian’ — an iconic beacon in the Jackson Hole skyline. But why The Virg? Why now?
Well, you may have heard the property is on sale for a crisp $60,000,000 (the painting will be available for slightly less)… and, as it happens, the broker is friend, collector and patient golf partner — Greg Prugh. So, I figured the timing was perfect.
Care to see this beauty come together in 46 seconds? Look no further than the link above… set to the aptly named track, “Borbay 2.0”, courtesy of my guys Nelson and Ahmed.
