Artist of Sound Series

•

The following series is inspired by my love for music. I make these paintings and then do everything in my power to get them signed by the artist.

The series is ongoing.

Linkin Park

Rock group Linkin Park held a contest in 2007 where each entrant was able to remix 2 of the artists songs and design a cover for the song. Judges narrowed the entrants down to 12 and the band chose their favorite song. My song was chosen and i was flown to Tokyo, Japan to meet the band and see them live in concert. As a token of my appreciation i created two canvas' for the band. The following canvas was autographed by the band when i met them.

J. Cole

Rapper J. Cole released his first single in June of 2010. I'm a huge fan of his and was inspired by the artwork of his single so i decided to make a canvas based on it. I got the canvas signed when he was in Rochester, NY.

Macklemore

Rapper Macklemore released his freshman LP "The Heist" with Ryan Lewis in 2013. I was inspired by his passion and love for art. The background of the canvas was also designed by myself, it contains the Nike, Air Jordan, and Gucci logo; three companies that Macklemore discusses the publics obsession with in his music. He is in the forefront of these brands. I got the canvas signed when he performed in Rochester, NY.
