I'm doing my best to keep this info current. Because of the weather, plans are subject to change. Check the above box for updates, as well as the calendar at the bottom left for events. If you're trying to find me, a quick call on my cell will let you know exactly where I am-- (917) 855-6564. Usually if it's bad weather (high winds included), I'll be at my storefront studio (address to the left).
Since 2005, I have been selling my original artwork in Union Square. It has been an amazing experience to watch a grassroots phenomenon take hold in Union Square. The farmer's market, the artists, the locals, the tourists, the park, the protests, the city-sponsored events--all make Union Square one of the most genuine and dynamic places in America. It truly is the center of NYC right now.
My argument is simply to enforce the laws and regulations that are already on the books. This will get rid of the vendors who are not selling things they make with their own hands and therefore are not protected by the First Amendment. Try this approach first before you get rid of 70% of the artists. It makes sense, right? Unfortunately, I think it'll take a miracle for these new
I will be selling at Union Square every weekend until it becomes illegal for me to do so. I'll keep my website updated during this time. I am usually somewhere between 14th and 17th Streets.
During the week, I am exclusively in my storefront (address above, left). I'm open by appointment and by luck. My storefront is the best place for serious inquiries, as you will have my undivided attention and access to my full body of available work. Making an appointment is suggested. If you're leaving it to chance, I'm usually working there in the evenings after 10:00pm.

I have just returned from New Orleans, where I re-painted a Rabbi mural that I originally painted on a Faubourg Marigny warehouse in 1995. Check out this video from The Times-Picayune.. Here's a longer version by Bryce Lankard.
