Art One’s ad in Phoenix Home & Garden 2016 Top Design Sources Special Issue
My Dad texts me, Is this your painting in the Phoenix Home & Garden? And I’m all, PROBably not. And it was! In an ad, 2016 Top Design Sources Special Issue, and I have to say it’s just exciting and fun to see my work in magazine print, especially considering all the city scenes I clip from newspapers and magazines and collage into my paintings. Don’t be surprised if this clipping of my painting ends up in one of my upcoming paintings! How full circle is that?!!
But seriously I’m honored that Art One chose a couple of my pieces for this ad; they certainly have a mind-blowing quantity of super interesting and inspiring art. (I’m pretty sure they told me about the ad and I forgot.)
So anyway here is one side of Madame Tussaud’s (left), and 71 Grand Street (lower right circle); details about these pieces are in the previous post.

I brought this painting to Art One yesterday. It may have a buyer already, a really nice guy who lives in West Chelsea and if he buys it he’s taking it back with him—guess how much I love THAT!
You can see some of the progress in earlier posts here and here.
It’s marker, acrylic paint, modeling paste, and clippings from The New York Times on wood panel, and I carve into it with a linoleum cutter. The carving is a little easier to see in the detail photos (detail 6 especially):
Empire State from Lex and 34th
Finished the new cityscape, and backtracked in the photos with a side cheat walk on Google streets to figure out where I was when I took the picture. Acrylic, marker, and collage on 24 x 48 used canvas.
Here’s a detail:
New Cityscape in progress
What I’m working on today: The Empire State Building from probably 5th. Acrylic, marker, and soon-to-be collage on an old painting from Goodwill, a horizontal beachscape, 24 x 48 canvas. You can see some of the tufts of grass and seagulls:
