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.

My third session as Artist-In-Residence at the luscious Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole was quite a night! While painting the Welcome to Teton Village sign, I had some star-studded company… and even a little help from my friends.

Rock out to the entire process in a hot minute, soak in some MH the Verb… and be sure to keep reading… if only for the eyebrows.
If you find yourself in Jackson, be sure to visit the Mormon Row Historic District — it’s spectacular! The John Moulton ranch features this incredible pink house with views you can’t buy (literally, it’s historically preserved). So, you see, I had to paint it.

Here is the entire process with a voice over by yours truly. I channeled the Micromachine man. Remember that guy?
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.

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.
I’ve wanted to paint this for well over a decade, but I needed time to discover the right approach. Over the past year, I began wondering — what would the Hollywood Sign look like as a giant neon? There was precedent — at the turn of the millennium, the sign was ablaze in color — minus the tubes. So, with this as a general guide… I began to reinvent… on a large scale.

Howdy Stranger! I’d like to introduce my latest painting…
