Murdoch was King, when newspapers where how we all got our news. Now owner of Fox News Corp. He has glob trotted to acquisition nearly the entire worlds media mavens, like the monopoly man of printed words, he has made his mark and continues to do so on a daily basis.

Being chosen to do the top 12 in LA, I have fun picking and choosing, meeting, and eventually adding each one to an illustrated pedestal of immortality in ink, oil, or chalk.

And as the sands of time go by, this guy will be remembered for his supremacy in syndication of content. I resonate the most with his few words “it’s all about content”.

“Here is the question for you….
If you could share one thing with the entire world right now,
what would it be?”

I would share my passion for inspiring others through Art.

My inspiration for this portrait.

Inspiration comes from unexpected places…

Tedd and I were at the Mondrian Hotel kicking back.

After about 3 triple Vodka Red Bulls I usually hit my creative stride but, never quite like this…. suddenly the idea hit Me!

After chewing tedd’s ear off about what was going on in my “grass is greener on the other side” life, he says to me non chalantly “you should do Ruppert Murdoch” BAM! my ears perked up and immediatly I began to investigate the name.

Since then, every time I set out for a portrait I start having dreams.
Last time I was with Ruppert in his Art Museum…. we were rapping about the meaning of art and how funny it was that I understood why he lived inside an art museum?!?

The more I open to my creativity the harder it become to peel the two apart…
