My work will be displayed during the upcoming Art Takes Times Square billboard premiere event!
Art Takes Times Square scoured the globe for today's greatest creative talents to identify one artist whose work will be displayed in a massive exhibition on the glittering screens of Times Square. Tens of thousands of artists joined this international phenomenon, contributing works that received over 2 million page views through the course of the competition.
On Monday June 18th, thousands of artists (including myself!) will be featured at Art Takes Times Square billboard premiere.
Working in concert with the Times Square Alliance and Chashama, Artists Wanted has produced this event which celebrates art in Times Square and the launch of See.Me - a new website connecting artists, photographers, designers, filmmakers and musicians to an international audience. With Art Takes Times Square, several of the most iconic video signs in Times Square will be made into an immense display of art and is emblematic of the ambitious projects to come from this new artist platform: See.Me.

The artworks will be displayed on bright LED screens (9 ft x 12 ft), turning more than a dozen Times Square billboards into digital canvasses, at Broadway and 43rd Street, NY.
My works will be on display sometime between 7:15pm to 7:45pm!

Also, some other exciting news. After reviewing the work of the artists submitted into the Art Takes Times Square competition, the Editorial Committee has chosen one of my pieces to be featured in the upcoming publication, Art Takes Times Square. Out of the tens of thousands of artists who entered the Art Takes Times Square contest, only a select few will appear in this publication. "Metamorphosis II" is featured on page 52.
