From the business:
I consider myself to be first and foremost a portrait painter, and my work ranges from the fanciful to the classically realistic. I can trace my painting career back to a cartoon I created for Stuff magazine in Boston in 1986. The cartoon depicted a forehead€a caricature of my own face from the eyes up. From there I started painting “forehead portraits” which captured my subjects only from the eyes up. I’ve left the cartoon element behind, but my focus on the top half of the face remains. My forehead portraits since then have included real people, imaginary people, historical figures (Chairman Mao and Duke Ellington, for example), dogs and cats, and, until 1998, Sesame Street’s Bert. (How could I pass up such a long and pointy forehead?) I have had a number of gallery shows over the years, but I’ve made my living largely by selling my artwork directly to the public at outdoor markets, art fairs, and on city streets all over the world.
