The second portrait in my series following Jay-Z will be Kanye. To prepare, I hung out with some H.A.M.’s last night. The location? Jeremy Penn‘s studio. The event? Four Loko, hip-hop beats and three artists slinging paint. After the jump, a quasi-Kanye study and some atelier shots.
2010 kicked-off with a new title — Time Out New York’s Most Creative New Yorker… and a broken fibula.
My beer league goalie Ken Devine recently proposed to his lovely lady named Erin, who is from Wisconsin. Prior to their engagement, I offered to lurk in the shadows of Belvedere Castle to capture the moment on camera. Initially, Ken said that would be “creepy”, but after speaking with Erin’s Mom, he realized photos were probably a good idea.
Sometimes, you must simply attack a canvas. Without process photos. Without a plan. With gusto.
My 3’X4′ painting of Time Out New York‘s 12th story view is now complete. A little back story: After being named Time Out New York’s Most Creative New Yorker (a title I do not sew onto my blazer, but do use to help sell paintings and commissions) – I decided to ask Time Out if I could set up shop, and paint the view from their West Side offices. After getting the go-ahead in December, I broke my leg playing hockey and had to wait three more months.
