I decided on the theme of the infamous Erich Weiss -aka- Harry Houdini. The playfield was entirely handpainted with enamel, and the cabinet was spraypainted with stencils. This project allowed me to learn a great deal about Houdini’s life and art, as well as classical pinball game design. Both have become a huge inspiration to me.

This Memorial weekend, Matt Litwack and I painted this massive wall on the corner of Stillwell and Surf Avenues in Coney Island. The mural greets any resident or visitor of Coney Island as soon as they exit the F train station. Our goal was to create a simple message with fonts and colors that matched the environment. We also added a portrait of the Steeplechase Park Funny Face. I am proud to be a part of this classic and historic American landscape, along with all of that past and present Sign/Mural Painters who have graced Coney Island, and inspired this piece.

I consider to be the all-time king and I painted a little tribute to him in his style.
