I’ve been wanting to paint this sign for well over two years… and, so, Four Seasons Jackson Hole’s Ascent Lounge was the place, and Saturday was the time.

Here is the entire process, captured in a one-minute time lapse video… thank you Josh D. Reed for the gorgeous jazz track!
Another Saturday chasing neon at Four Seasons Jackson Hole… cannot beat the live painting experience! This week, we had live music, cocktails and a visit from artist/entrepreneur extraordinaire — Haley Badenhop…

Get your time lapse on, with some saucy lyrics courtesy of MH the Verb… whose new album cover I finished last week!
During week five as Four Seasons Jackson Hole’s Artist-In-Residence, I revisited an old friend — the Antler 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.

Want to see this baby come together in a minute? Check the video… and listen to MH the Verb and Kuf Knotz do their thing… believe.
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.
“You said you’d never paint animals!”
“I never said that.”
Actual quote from the Jackson Hole News & Guide, “There’s this notion of Western art and these traditional scenes with cowboys and Indians and I feel like the same bear and wolf have been painted maybe a thousand times,” (Borbay) said. “I love signage. I’m a city guy at heart. I want to bring my vision here. I’m not going to go and start painting just a bunch of straight-up animal scenes to cater to the market.”
Mmmm, those words are delicious. And so is the mythological Jackalope.

Let’s get back to square one, and watch this baby come together in time lapse… another beauty of a soundtrack from MH the Verb! Oh, and do read on for the hop-by-hop recap.
I decided to invent a neon painting. The concept: a cowboy on a bucking horse, swangin’ his Indiana Jones style whip, atop electric grass, with the mighty Tetons far off in the distance… my result? “The Neon Cowboy” — not to be confused with “The Electric Horseman“.
It was a magical three months in Jackson Hole. The country was gorgeous, and inspiration ran deep. Early in our adventure, we took a trip to Teton National Park… there, I captured a moment of Coraline taking in the majestic Tetons.
I’m pleased to report, two of my recent Jackson Hole neon sign paintings have been featured in Big Sky Magazine‘s annual Gift and Gear Guide.
