New Da Vinci Found? HA HA HA. Leonardo wouldn't have painted this on his worst day with a hangover and a broken hand. What a joke. Look at the hair and hand..Horrible art student level work.

Mariano Rivera signing my painting.

It made $7, 500 for charity. I didnt make money on it but I was happy to donate.

Random photos from the Metropolitan Museum

I go to the Met all the time. I like to take photos of details of paintings so I can learn more technique.

Etched Glass NYC

I have been etching glass for over 20 years, I taught myself as a way to pay for art school. I have etched everything you can name and then some. My favorite etchings are ones like the piece above that I made for myself. I still etch for pay but I pick and choose my jobs these days. I am one of the last of the glass artists who still do everything by hand. No computers!!


If you want my studio to etch for you, you can call me. 917 400 1317.

I am the guy they call when other people cant do the job.
