Welcome To The Club

 

Celebrity Star Card Studio is a private hobby of mine  that began many years ago.  It was my responsibility at the time to design tabletop cards, promotional flyers, newspaper ads, and more for celebrities scheduled to appear in the cabaret. 


Milton Berle, Little Anthony, Marilyn McCoo  & Billy Davis Jr., The Hager Twins, Dottie West, Frank Gorshin, Jim Baily, J.P. Morgan, Count Basie, and many a well known entertainer wined and dined in the five star restaurant. Back in the day, the Tangier was one of the finest stop points between New York and Chicago. 


Over the years my career path took me in many directions, but my little hobby stayed with me. Sometimes what is shown on TV is not necessarily what I see. The way I see the world makes my art special and unique to me.   My art varies from style to style depending on the subject, and what I have to work with. 

Being old schooled, my work involves many things from photo illustrations, digital watercolors, graphic icons, ink, pencil, etc.  I work with my hands and the computer. All my art is based on what I see, and designed from scratch  to print by me.  This site will be updated infrequently with different artworks relating to the star of the day.  This web site, as with all my art and life, is a work in progress.

Just what is a celebrity? 

A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin verb "celebrere" but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not become a global celebrity until he attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon.

Heath Ledger Remembered 

My art reflects an image of Heath Ledger's artistry. His roles were well chosen, and each character well played. The portrait below was inspired by the actor, and is part of The Art Of Heath Ledger.

To the right is the fourth in a series of seven works of art as inspired by the actor, Heath Ledger. The first three originals now reside with private collectors.

Innocent 

This Celebrity Star Card is a drawing of Britney Spears holding her baby. At the time this photo made headlines, the scandal sheets were not very flattering of the singing sensation. To me, this vulnerable artist appeared as innocent as her child.

This Mother-Child Celebrity Star Card Portrait is the size of a playing card 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches in size. This is a mixed media composition of black marker and twenty colored pencils on 90 pound water color paper.
