Time Warner Center

There is such amazing Art all around us.
I was Face-Painting at a party in the Time Warner Center recently.
On my way in, I decided to photograph a sculpture that was outside
the building. In the photograph, the figures look kinda flat,
but in person, the technique is real intriguing - It's made
from flat slates piled on top of each other - the way old
stone fences used to be made:



Because of the different types of Artwork that I do,
I have worked in some of the most amazing places -
including The Time Warner Center,
The Friars Club,
The Water Club,
Sardi's,
Main Maid Inn,
Carnegie Hall,
Beekman Plaza,
penthouse apartments and mansions where the winners live.......
and more!
And I don't even have to pay to be there like the people who actually live there - They pay Me - Or I wouldn't be willing to go. I'm Soooo fortunate.

Here are a few more people that I painted this week:

It is Snowing

Oh boy. It is snowing. They're talking about a blizzard.
I have to get out to shovel and leave to draw Caricatures
at tonight's 40th Birthday Party. But first - my Agent
asked me to send her a few photos from a Corporate event
we worked this week. So here I am - actually posting something
in a timely manner:

What time is it?

What day is this? What year? Where am I?
If this is Sunday, it must be NY.

Lol - I have thousands of photos that I meant to post here -
But when I'm busy making new pictures, I can't be posting
previous pictures. It's the way of life. Now is all there is.

But I'm trying. Just came across some pictures from an event
that I did last July 4. I could figure out the date when I looked
at the photos:

Art is Fun ~

This guy was so happy with the way his painting turned out.
I guess it really surprised him.

New Idea

And just where do new ideas come from?
How do we become 'creative'?

Well here's something that sparked a new idea for me.
Something happened to this photo - It's actually the same tiger that I posted yesterday. Maybe over-exposed or something? Anyway, I'm thinking that there's something To this black/white tiger.
Sp oo kieeeee.......

A Fairy Tale

I really didn't plan it this way.
But I came across these pictures - all of which were done
at the same party - I pulled the first few off the top of
the pile, and I was so surprised. Looks so easily like
a simple Fairy Tale - as though it was all coordinated
for a skit instead of just the random requests that it was.











I'm wondering if it isn't somehow the way I paint that made the 'story' appear. But is sure looks coordinated.

This was a real cool day. These litl kids wanted some tuff images.
But, lol - Kids are still so real. Don't 'have their 'Act' together.
I really like how my litl 'monster' wanted a Pink sword:

Be Here Now

Ah - a problem that can come up when we create our Art in the moment -
instead of cranking out the same craft that we've 'learned'.

I really like this balloon that I made.
But I can't remember how I made it:

Kids are So Cute

BTW, I guess you've noticed that
I've learned how to make those balloon spirals. Yeah.

I Just Like Balloons

How Fancy can you Twist?
That's all much fun,
but even before I get up to that stuff,
I just like those balloons.
Like a kid. They're just wonderful things. Beautiful.

I took photos of some real simple balloons I twisted recently.
I see though, that I was interested in taking real care in drawing on them.
