Painting Process | Sheep Meadow Featuring Trump International Hotel & Tower, TWC, 15 CPW Painting Process | Comments
When people look at me, they see the 180 pound artist with a funky hat, and a "modest to very modest" frame. When I say, "oh, hey, so I was a D1 distance runner in college" - they look at me and say, "wuhhhh??? Juhhhh???? Guh???" I know. 180 pounds. It wasn't always like this.

Painting Process | Museum of Art and Design – Target Bernie Madoff Painting Process | Comments
I've had my eye on the controversial redesign of the Museum of Art and Design for some time. When I discovered a composition including the CNN Sign and the sexy Hearst Tower, how could I resist? The piece followed Apple Store Painting, which established a new series of constants; a visual un-collaged void, my portrait reprinted in the NY Post as a collage element, and a well known public figure adorned with a target. Here's the scene from the Central Park side of Columbus Circle. After the jump, putting the mad and Madoff into the MAD Museum - a full painting ...

Here is the latest status of the Museum of Art and Design canvas. I am going to head out there today and get some more work done... The weather and my schedule have conspired against painting the past few days. Alas, back to action.

Painting Process | Museum of Art and Design Columbus Circle Days 1 and 2 Painting Process | Comments
Following my Apple Store Painting, I decided to take my "show" (or, easel and canvas) to Columbus Circle. I've had my eye on the controversial redesign of the Museum of Art and Design for some time. And, since it includes the CNN Sign and the sexy Hearst Tower, how could I resist? Here's the scene from the Central Park side of Columbus Circle. After the jump, putting the mad and Madoff into the MAD Museum. Continue Reading...
