Our Wedding Logo General Action | (3)
This July I am marrying my love Erin. To celebrate our special day, I created this logo which is a combination of meaningful photographs and hand-drawn lines. We met at Brother Jimmy's on East 92nd Street; were in the paper for making out in Times Square; frequent Elaine's; drank PBR on our first date; often ride the train from the 96th Street Station; went to Vegas where we discovered a giant E; spend a great deal of time in Minnetonka (where Erin is from); love the Guggenheim; discovered the Love Monkey on a walk; often eat off of Marilyn plates; ...

Painting Process | Kanye West, Eyes More Red Than The Devil Is Painting Process | (14)
A man of words and a man of his word, Kanye West: "Your my Devil, Your my Angel, Your my Heaven, Your my Hell, Your my Now, Your my Forever, Your my Freedom, Your my Jail, Your my Lies, Your my Truth, Your my War, Your my Truce, Your my Questions, Your my Proof, Your my Stress and your my Masseuse" There is an artistic continuity across all mediums. Kanye was a logical portrait subject, following his HAM partner Jay-Z. As a collage artist, the concept of standing amidst, alongside, in front and behind your words is captivating; who better to explore ...

Bay Shore High School Location Drawing and Collage Workshop General Action | (1)
Back in November I spent a day at Bay Shore High School hosting a location drawing and collage workshop. Each of the two sessions included a brief presentation, an on-location drawing, a critique and then a collage technique overview. After the jump, a few shots from a fine afternoon in academia.

A Losing Bet: The Canadian Maple Leaf Bathed in Olympic Glory Painting Process | (3)
A bet is a bet. On the day of the Olympic Ice Hockey final, I challenged the Stanley Cup Keeper to a wager: "if the USA wins, you have to arrange for me to do a painting of the (Stanley) cup in-person... if I lose, I will do a painting of the maple leaf and post it on my profile for a month." We all know the outcome. Now, I am a Maple Leaf on Facebook, and I had to memorialize America's loss. After the jump, each stroke of a difficult painting for me to complete. Continue Reading...

Painting Process The Mets Citi Field at Night Painting Process | (6)
As a lifelong Mets fan, I had a tough time with the demolition of Shea Stadium. Sure, it was ugly, had poor seating, limited vendors and was essentially an amphitheatre for airplanes — but it had winning memories. However, I came to accept that Citi Field really brings the heat. It's easy to get a beer, the seating rocks, it's good looking, hell, the biggest problem with Citi Field is the recent/current cadre of Mets. Perhaps the title sponsor could arrange for a similar bailout? This picture was taken on my first visit. The dramatic night ...
