2018, you sly fox. While all-up in you, I traveled the world, took two trips to Vegas, painted like mad, was Artist-in-Residence at Teton Springs, golfed 100 rounds, played lots of hockey, auctioneer-ed a charity event; and even officiated my first wedding!
With record sales, amazing collectors, great friends and a loving family at my side — I couldn’t be more grateful. And now… let’s break you down, and drop it like it’s hot — 2018.
Following a magical 24-hours in Reykjavik — I found myself in Antwerp… one of the most amazing cities I’ve ever experienced! Having a world-class guide in my new friend Rayes made my time even more incredible. Let’s dig in…
Our Broadway Bares adventure began when Ari Lankin painted an impromptu tatoo on the arm of a Kriss Angel dancer in front of the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign. They suggested we paint live at Broadway Bares Las Vegas, which we did, at Planet Hollywood. A few weeks back, Ari received a call requesting the live-painting action for the fittingly named “Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece” at the Roseland Ballroom on Father’s Day (the Vegas installment was on Easter Sunday). And just like that, it was on.
When you find yourself painting alongside the finest Vegas dancers in Las Vegas, live, at Planet Hollywood… it becomes a high-note on an already melodic adventure. Ari‘s chance meeting at The Welcome to Las Vegas sign lead to this particular charitable evening — Broadway Bares.
The Sahara hotel, slated to close forever next week, was the first location I was asked to leave. Anywhere. In the world.
Nine days in Vegas was the case that they gave me. Actually, it’s the trip I booked online.
Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!
For years, this sign has been on my painting hit list. Finally, on an absurdly hot and windy pair of April Days in Vegas — it went down, and it was weird.
Vegas. It is one of the sexiest words out there. Say it out loud, Vegas. It’s Fear and Loathing, Swingers, a Hangover, Sin, Money, Heathen lifestyle = hotness. Here is a small painting of the Trump International Hotel and Tower, and below, a shot of my gorgeous fiancé.
