The London Eye — A Commissioned Gift

My first trip outside of the US was to London… my brother, Tim, lived there… this city holds a special place in my heart. So, you can imagine how stoked I was to be commissioned by Randi and David Wender to create this painting as a gift for their newlywed friends — Lara and Neil (congratulations!)

Center For The Arts Jackson Hole at Ten Years

The Center For the Arts Jackson Hole celebrated their 10th Anniversary last night with a sold out crowd at their Annual Benefit Concert with Lyle Lovett and His Large Band and The Center’s Annual Benefit After Party. I had the pleasure of live-painting this 24″X36″ canvas throughout the festivities, capturing the energy, spirit and goodwill of a community focused on the arts.

Teton Theatre — Painted Live at The Four Seasons

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.

Old Town Bar Neon Sign Painting

Whenever I return to Manhattan, I find myself wandering the streets… memories, flowing like wine. In November, I met good friend, Tony Black, for a pint of the dark stuff at Old Town. Before leaving, I told the owner, Fitz, “I’m going to paint your sign.”

They say, “do what you say you’re going to do,” so I did… and here was my source image.

My legally issued artistic license allows for interpretation. If you’d like to see the entire process in one minute in time lapse, narrated by yours truly… view this video… more of a photo and commentary person? Read on dear friend.

A Painting of The Antler Inn, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

I’ve always been fairly obsessed with neon signage… hence my numerous trips to Las Vegas. In downtown Jackson Hole, you can spot several glowing gems, such as the oft-painted Cowboy Bar… and the Antler Inn. There is something about a dramatic sign in the night sky.
