Painting Process The Guggenheim Rotunda in Grey and White Painting Process | Comments
The lure of The Guggenheim is simply too great. No, this isn't Guggenheim #4... my 20 years of Guggenheim's are painted in the same location on 89th and 5th Avenue, of the opposite view, on 30"X30" canvases... This black and white painting was made to support Frank's Doors — treat it like Chicago politics, vote early and often. And on to the process. Continue Reading...

Painting Process | The Guggenheim #3 Painting Process | Comments
The video... and the stills of the painting and process below. It began in 2009... my first Guggenheim painting. Then in 2010, I decided to do it again... same location and canvas size... after #2, I decided to paint The Guggenheim every June for 20 years. Beyond being one of my favorite places in the city, this will allow me to see my style progression in a consistent way. After the jump, process shots of The Guggenheim #3. Continue Reading...

My Summer on Canvas, Around the City, Around the World General Action | Comments
As an artist, referring to a painting as the recently departed is a very good thing. My first painting of the summer, The Apple Store, was acquired by a collector in Japan days after a write up in the Wall Street Journal Japan. The rest of my summer was spent further exploring collage painting, revisiting an acrylic only approach, and working on commissions I cannot yet reveal to the public. After the jump, a review of a summer gone by, and some more recently departed. Continue Reading...

The New York Post – My Inspiration In Attempted Viral Video Format General Action | Comments
When I spotted this doozy on Gawker, I had to share. While crass, this Jordan Carlos joint does illustrate my reasoning for using New York Post headlines in my artwork (see the Guggenheim below). Topical, from my About page: His work is comprised of collaged New York Post headlines, and layer upon layer of acrylic paint. Driven to capture the actuality of society, this series visually displays the paradox of love, lust, murder, sex, sports, betrayal, triumph, religion, rape and politics in one place… concepts any person reading a daily newspaper will see juxtaposed without a ...

Painting Process | Guggenheim Redux – Target Tony Hayward Painting Process | Comments
At this point, I am just going to say it - I like the Guggenheim. Following my recent paintings of the Apple Store, Museum of Art and Design and First Avenue - Minneapolis, I decided to take my New York Post collage work to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece. About 20% of the people who actually go into the Guggenheim stop by to look at my painting. For all intent and purpose, I am only about 150 feet away and ten years (or less) from a sizable pay grade increase. The original Guggenheim painting (above) was sold to a collector in Milan. After ...
