Sometimes it’s fun to reflect back on an era past. During my five years (1989 – 1994) as Hollywood Video’s creative director and resident artist I created over a hundred hand-painted wall murals – most measuring upwards of ten feet tall.

Art Provenance
You hear a lot about provenance in the art world. As it should be – provenance is an important part of the art in your collection. Provenance is how you answer important questions, like who really created the art, when it was created, sometimes where it was created, and hopefully how it was created.

Artist, Muse, Music — Creative Energy Exchange
Live model. Live music. Life drawing — enjoying some creative time in the studio… There was a time when artists could draw only from living models, live music, and candlelight. In many ways, that was a golden age in art.
