Please allow me to introduce my latest portrait: Samantha Niemi. This painting is part of an exciting series commissioned by Sam’s Dad, Peter — here’s an excerpt from his blog:

If you walked into my collegiate apartment on Buswell Street in 2001, you’d find two images of Tony Montana on the wall. Scarface. All you have to do is say the word, and people understand. Okay? Al Pacino’s electric political refugee marks painting number two in my growing ‘Anti-Hero’ series.

When I was commissioned by Matt and Allison to create a Jackson Hole-inspired painting, they wanted me to experience things for myself, so it was wheels up, next stop Wyoming.

I’m delighted to share my commissioned portrait of Deborah Paul. I met Deborah three years ago on the Upper East Side while painting on the street. We stayed in touch, and last year, Deborah acquired my Guggenheim 4.

Something new. Something different. For reasons I can not yet share, I was presented with the opportunity to create a large scale painting of an African landscape. Based on four different photographs, I cobbled together a composition on this 48″X60″ canvas.

In 2009, I decided to paint The Guggenheim for twenty years, each summer, from the same corner, on the same size canvas, with the sole variable being my style. This is Guggenheim 5… the latest of my recent futurist works, joining the Seattle Space Needle, Central Park South, Sutton Place, Welcome to Las Vegas Sign and The Bellagio.

Allow me to introduce my latest portrait: the man, the legend, Bono. This collage painting was commissioned by Lynn Serra, and contains many personal details within the canvas.

Back in 2007, I was working as a Creative Recruiter at Update Graphics. One day, my colleague Kimberly introduced me to Justin Brock Schantz, then the Managing Director at Fantasy Interactive. Over several months, we got to know one another, and eventually, I ended up joining Justin at FI.
This year, enjoy Black Friday and Cyber Monday differently. This year, consider buying a work of art. I’m offering free domestic shipping (50% off international) and will be donating $1000 to the American Red Cross on each sale, until 11.30.2012. Check my body of work — interested in a commission?
