2012 Kick Off: 3d Street Painting India Tour!
Happy New Year!
Event Update:
I am honored and pleased to announce my schedule for the 2012 3d Street Painting India Tour, sponsored by the US Consulate of India. The success of the first tour in 2009 was so overwhelming, it prompted the US Consulate to set up a second tour for January and February 2012. I’ll be drawing a super sized street painting at a large student organized festival, interactive images at literary and arts festivals, collaborating with world class sand artists and making an appearance at one of the world’s largest book fairs, in Kolkata.
Each stop will feature a unique 3d images designed specifically for that location, with participation from friends in India at several stops. Workshops on 3d street painting will be conducted at each stop in an effort to foster the growth of this amazing art form in India. I invite everyone to come by to see the art and visit with me while I am there. At most events you can find my work near the American Center Pavilion so look for me there. It will be a mind-blowing adventure of the dimensional kind to be sure!

3D on the Russian Riviera
As part of the 2011 International Investment Forum, I was invited to the beautiful coastal city of Sochi, Russia, on the Black Sea, to create one of my 3D street painting images. Sochi is a lot like Santa Barbara or the Amalfi Coast in Italy – a gorgeous location with lots to do in the sun and sea. If you’re looking for a great vacation get away, this is it. The Sochi Park organization, who is currently constructing a new amusement park which will be opening in conjunction with the 2014 Olympic Games to be held in Sochi, asked for an image that showcased their new rides, the scenery of this lovely city and some of the folk tale characters that are near and dear to the Russian populations’ hearts. The image proved to be very popular with the public and local Russian TV had a field day with it. My clients were thrilled with the result, which was the best compliment for me. I suspect we’ll be seeing more 3D street art appearing more…

3d Street Painting recognized at the 2011 Society of Unique Artists Awards
It’s my honor and privilege to announce that I’ve been awarded the Extreme Art Award in the Painting category of the First Annual 2011 Society of Unique Artist’s Awards! Featuring the most extreme and unique art forms of the year, the event was created to advance SUA’s non-profit mission of promoting unique art forms, in hopes of filling a void in the larger art world.
The event was held on July 16, 2011, at the Jerome L. Greene Space in Manhattan. Live television taping for SUA’s Extreme Art tv covered the festivities, which included a cocktail hour with musical entertainment by the East River Jazz Band, outrageous mind reading and magic from Middle To Nowhere, ventriloquist April Brucker, and magician extraordinaire, Apollo Riego. SUA’s own Danielle Guldin hosted and kept the night going strong with humor and energy.
I was thrilled to meet everyone at SUA as well as fellow nominees who attended. So many amazing artists representing the best in ice sculpture, sand art, food sculpture, performing arts, solo performers, painting and unusual unique arts. Congrats go to all the winners & thanks go to Ronnie, Jacqueline and everyone at SUA for supporting our unique artistic efforts!
