NEW STUDIO, NEW WORK, NFT'S, AIRPLANES, MURALS + MORE. Keep Scrolling, trust me:
NFTs, Let the games begin:
I took the opportunity to learn the ropes on this with something I felt was a very rare offering (recommended in this space when converting from the physical to the digital world). So I listed the first woman I've ever painted, "One Sweet Way", a piece originally made for the Delta Sky Club in Ft. Lauderdale, that has since changed (in design), but the O.G. file remains, and is one of a kind! My NFT sold before I could even announce it! Wild. See below for the Club Project. I am extremely proud and excited about the A-1 placement on each side of the bar, and thanks to all of you who have sent selfies or have tagged me in your photos since they've been installed!
We've also spent a ton of time working on and colour-correcting our latest Print release "ODE TO POP", which can be found HERE in 3 sizes.
We scratched our lockdown travel-itch with a catchphrase often used in my household growing up- "Cool Your Jets", and after posting a sample piece (72" x 48" on Instagram), a Collector called me up and said "HEY! Let's go BIGGER", and we did just that @ 150" x 48"!
We had some extra time over this last year to experiment some more, including Florals, Round Canvases (so cool!), Ski/Sport themed paintings (a Special Project with the Whistler Contemporary Gallery in B.C. at the Four Seasons Hotel) and even BILLBOARDS across King St. West thanks to Empire Maverick Communities! We're everywhere (wink), take a look!
Ok - just a few more things to note before I wrap up:
- We made a MASSIVE Print, for our boy Matt Altman, to be featured in next season's Million Dollar Listing.
- We trained a well-known Actor, for a VERY cool new Netdix series, based off of a VERY famous elm you will soon know more about (NDA), on "How to Paint" for his role. (Chuckle).
- We'll be making a special painting for famed Yeezy and Versace Shoe Designer, Salehe Bembury, this Summer. And wait for it: We'll be working with Porsche.
- AND, WE MOVED STUDIOS!
