My ‘East Meets West’ series is now two strong! Introducing “The Good, The Bad, and The Fanelli’s” — my portrait of Clint Eastwood as Blondie from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; hanging in front of Fanelli’s on Prince Street, in Manhattan.

Here is the entire painting process distilled into a 50-second time-lapse…. peace to Pete Pidgeon and Arcoda for the dope soundtrack. Now, let’s see this baby come to life, step-by-step…
I’m honored and delighted to share the commissioned collaboration between yours truly, and artist extraordinaire — Brendan Ben Feeney. I met BBF on Twitter many years ago… in fact, he was kind enough to send Erin and I a photograph for our wedding back in 2011.
As time developed, so too did our friendship and admiration for one another. When Ben reached out with his idea, I couldn’t wait to begin our Twin Peaks collaboration.
Here is Ben’s amazing photograph, which guided the way. This work was featured in Tufts Magazine, along with an in-depth profile on BBF.

Here is the entire process inside of one minute… enjoy, and thank you to my boys, The Ambershift, for the delightful sounds.
I first set foot on Boston University’s campus as a 17-year-old, 123-pound runner, looking to channel the Terrier. Despite graduating from the College of Fine Arts, I never painted live on the streets of Boston.
So, when I found myself in town for the first time in ten years… I decided to rectify this egregious error. With my penchant for neon, and the recent drama surrounding Citgo… the subject chose me.
Sharpen those spurs… and take in this painting of the Rawhide Motel neon sign. This baby was painted live, at Four Seasons Jackson Hole… here’s how it all came together.

Thank you for the soundtrack help, my darling Vega. Oh, and you can take home this painting, if your wall is feeling bare and needs to be rawhide.
Welcome To Twin Peaks, fire, walk with neon… I’ve long admired the work of David Lynch, from film to sound to canvas. A consummate original, and architect of universes, I strove to capture a symbol of the great Lynch/David Frost series in a new light. Neon, to be specific.

Here is how the entire painting came together, captured in a one minute time lapse.
I decided to celebrate eight fabulous weeks of painting at Four Seasons Jackson Hole with the Kudar Motel!

With time comes change. Recently, the Teton Theatre marquee was removed, making way for a new pizza joint (mmmm… pizza). And, so, as a man with great admiration for signs… I decided to spend my Saturday evening as Artist-In-Residence at Four Seasons Jackson Hole painting this classic, decommissioned slice of Jackson.

The energy of Fremont street followed me to Idaho. While in Vegas, I created a smaller painting of the Atomic Liquors sign… but I wanted to dig deeper. Go larger. So I did, to the tune of three by five feet.

You can jam out to the entire process in just over one minute. Do read-on for a blow-by-blow recap of this bad boy.
My summer artist residency at The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole kicked-off last night with a glowing cowboy! I’ll be creating a new 20″X20″ painting each week in the glorious Ascent Lounge — this was the first.

Would you like to see seven hours of art in a hot minute? Enjoy this time lapse, set to the magical music of Stefan Zeniuk. Do read on…
Atomic Liquors is the oldest freestanding bar in Las Vegas, with liquor license #0001. Back in the day, folks would head up to the roof with a cocktail to watch the nukes go boom in the horizon about 50 miles away. That seems dangerous to me, but I carry a cell phone in my front pocket — so what do I know? This baby has been featured in scores of movies… and is flat out one of the best damn neon signs in the world.
Here is a snap of the glorious sign, lit-up beautifully, on a warm Vegas night.
