This is one of my paintings from a series I did inspired by "Alice in Wonderland". I just did a series of 5 more. They are all oil on canvas. This one is quite large, about 5 feet tall or so. I forget exactly. The series is all about fame, and the endless pursuit of it. My Alice is always Lindsey Lohan.

This is about 95% complete. It took me and my team a year and a half to "almost" complete. The original is, well -- for me. It's all marble. I had it cast and did another 6 in fiberglass. What you don't see, is that his fist is positioned to hold a cast iron sign that says different phrases. He is about 4.5 feet tall. Heavy as all hell. Still working on the signs.

I visited Anton Kandinsky today. His painting studio is in my offices. He is a character. I gotta' say, with all the shit happening in the markets this week, somehow this Putin piece feels super relevant and timely. I love the vibe in his studio. Alex Melamid, the notorious Russian Sots (Pop art in Russia) painter came through for a visit. It was a vibe for sure.
