On Monday, I requested a location with a view on my Facebook Wall and my HS friend, music executive Theresa Notartomaso, responded immediately. Thanks to Theresa, my easel and I found ourselves in front of a stunning view on the 19th floor of Headroom Digital‘s studio on 26th and Madison.
For the past two days, I have been painting in the lounge of Midtown hot spot, BUtterfield8 NYC. Lately, I have been inspired by a great many artists – friends and famous alike. There is much room for exploration in color and mark-making, and this piece focuses on both.
Ever have what “Alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity?” Sometimes, in order to release, you must yourself release, henceforth, allowing yourself to release. I was looking at one of my paintings, and “Started St. Patricks” (below) caught my eye – and inspired this particular canvas.
Let me state first, I am an a-political guy at heart. However, I do have a penchant for a good Houdini – and when it comes to making assets disappear… well, if you read the papers, you know Charlie The Tax Man can ghost a million like it’s hot.
My second piece inspired by the NY Post – this time, a tragedy. The Taconic Crash was front page news for several weeks. Imagine, the facts, details and statistics of one final act can trump an entire existence. Process after the jump.
After three days in Times Square, my ESPN Zone NYC picture has been completed. About a month ago, I was painting Elaine’s on 2nd Avenue, when ESPN Zone’s Marketing Manager stopped by. She inquired about my painting their storefront in honor of ESPN Zone NYC‘s ten year anniversary.
The Warhol Challenge issued late into Sunday evening brought in eight pieces from Spain, California, Kentucky and New York. After the jump, all nine pieces standing alone. Enjoy!
A weekend stroll down Madison Avenue revealed a building elegantly wrapped in an orange box. Returning with my easel, I decided to paint, what I later found out was the new Hérmes Men’s Store.
Following the miraculous crash landing of Flight 1549 in the Hudson, I was compelled to celebrate on canvas. This piece, which was recently sold, began with a New York Post cover and some drawing. Process after the jump.
