I’m working with Mohegan Sun, the amazing casino and entertainment resort built by the Mohegan Tribe in Connecticut. Mohegan Sun hosts the New York telecast of the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. As part of the celebration, I’m setting up a week-long exhibition of my work on the main concourse of the resort…..also to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We’ll be there September 2nd through the 7th for the Labor Day Holiday weekend.
I’m proud to be a National Vice President of the MDA. It’s an organization that’s close to my heart. I’ve worked with kids stricken with these terrible diseases and i’m always looking for ways to stay involved and to raise funds.
On Sunday night, Mohegan Sun will also host a fantastic event. It’s called “Party with a Purpose” and it’s a huge pre-telethon bash benefitting MDA in their main ballroom…dinner, cocktails, dancing, and more! I’ll be showing my work there too. Tickets to the event are $80. It’s a great cause and we’ll have a great time. Come and join me there! You can buy tickets by calling 203-248-6500 or by visiting the Mohegan Sun Box Office.
Oh…and I almost forgot…i’ll be unveiling a brand new piece created exclusively for Mohegan Sun!

I made my first appearance for Choice Collectibles over the weekend. They have exclusively commissioned me to do a limited edition celebrating the 70th anniversary of Batman. The piece was a little bit of a challenge. It took me awhile to meld the dark ominous feeling of Gotham with my standard color palette. I’m very happy with the way the piece came out and it was very well-received at the show.
I find that when i do shows in places for the first time, i am asked a lot of questions by collectors that i haven’t fielded in awhile. This weekend, the big question, was where i got the idea to use the glitter in all my pieces. Well, i’ll share a little secret with you. It was a mistake! Many years ago, i bought some glue and glitter to cover up a cutting mistake i made in one of my pieces…i used the glue to cover the crack and then added some colored glitter to it to hide the glue. People LOVED it…so, that’s how my use of glitter was born…i found the glitter i used now which is actually glitter already suspended in acrylic paint and i started using it to embellish all of my images. It’s worked out great and contributes to the “glitz” of my artwork. Sometimes making mistakes is a good thing!
