Latest painting project for Showtime has gone live--on the web (YouTube, Vimeo and Showtime) over the weekend and over the cable airwaves this week! Already nearly 300,000 views in 3 days! Definitely my grimmest work- executed completely from above on stretched canvas with an eye dropper and a top secret recipe of blood...err...paint... More on the behind the scenes process at Behance
Enjoy and pass it on!
BAM Show was a big success! The show’s two-month-run just came to close last week. Almost all pieces sold, and we had an overwhelming 200+ guest turnout for our official reception on March 1.
Next Friday marks the public opening of my collaborative portrait project with photographer partner Michael O’Shea at BAM. The show will be on display in BAM’s Diker Gallery through March. Having spent many of my formative professional years working at BAM, it feels amazing to be welcomed back in this capacity. In fact, many of the subjects in this project are friends, colleagues, and mentors that I encountered during my time at BAM, and later during my tenure at Pratt Institute--and some have ties to both institutions. We will be donating a percentage of proceeds from all sales towards the BAMart program and Pratt endowed scholarship funds to keep the spirit of this project moving full-circle.

My pal Milton’s limited addition clothing line, M. Carter, has just released its annual “Faces of Death” t-shirt series that pays tribute to celebrities that have passed away during the calendar year. Each year the design incorporates a select celebrity portrait submitted by a unique and different artist. This year’s edition features the drawing of Ernest Borgnine that I sketched moments after hearing of his passing back in April. It has been a rough year indeed.
