Tomorrow is the day… Red Bull Curates. It’s going to be epic. Here is a video of the creation of my fridge in one minute.

Painting Process A Portrait of Simon Fredricks
I’m delighted to release my latest commissioned portrait — Mr. Simon Fredricks. Simon contacted me by email expressing his interest in a portrait in the style of my actor series, a swift correspondence ensued, and off we went.
A Day at The Metropolitan Museum of Art With Paul Zepeda
The best painting break in the world — a trip to one of Manhattan’s incredible museums. Up yesterday? The Met. It was yours truly and Paul Zepeda, with Betty Crocker riding shotgun, taking in the (sometimes neon) sights.
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 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 Process | Olde New York on Canvas, Donated to the HopeForThem Foundation
Last night, I had the pleasure of joining a truly talented group to pay tribute to a wonderful charity: HopeForThem. Musicians, artists, St Germain and a crack team joined forces at Gallery 151 to provide entertainment, raise money and gather toys for the children of Haiti.
Painting Process | Brad Pitt as Mickey O’Neil in Snatch

Introducing piece number two in my kick-ass actors in sweet movies I love series: Brad Pitt as Mickey O’Neil, from Guy Ritchie’s Snatch. This still was taken from the scene where Turkish and Tommy the Tit make a bet with Mickey (right about 2:15 in) over hare coursing. Sadly for the boxing promoters, the hare is not proper fucked.
Painting Process | Hunter S. Depp A Portrait of Two Men on One Canvas

If I am in the studio painting, I’m watching movies — all day long. One of my all-time favorites is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas… as it happens, so I decided to capture both Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson as one. Both of these creative gents have brought me a great deal of enjoyment, so I figured why not ride this strange torpedo out to the end?
