Acrylic on Paper • Villanova University

Behold a series of snaps taken during a recent performance at Villanova University titled, “Moment of Art.” Marking my fourth year of delivering the presentation, the evening included a synopsis of my artistic process, collaborative painting with audience members and the creation of an improvisational mural based on a surprise musical selection.

Perhaps you, or someone you love/like, would be interested in booking a similar event.

Hooters
Three of My Favorite Things

The Mrs. and I recently took our son, Rocco, on his first trip to Hooters. He seemed to enjoy himself so we are considering the chain as a destination for his future birthday parties.

Get Along
Computer Embellished Drawing

I created these vaporous goodwill ambassadors for a potential client. Unfortunately, the potential client didn’t see their potential. I’d hate to see Nimbus and Cumulus go to waste so drop me a line if you think you have a use for ‘em.

I’m often discouraged by people who refer to my art ability as a gift or blessing. In the last 34 years, I’ve spent many hours looking at, thinking about, talking about, reading about and, above all, making art. It’s not a gift, it’s not a blessing, it’s a decision.

I don’t make this proclamation in an effort to garner more credit for myself, I say it in an effort to empower others. If you want to be an artist, stop hoping, wishing and praying and start doodling.
