You can’t please everyone. Be true to who YOU are, because when you’re honest with yourself, you’ll feel confident in your own skin and feel ready to conquer anything in life.
This painting is my tribute to Adam Lambert–a true musical talent. This piece took about 10 hours to finish. Share this with your friends and let them know that you’re a BIG Adam supporter!

SERIES DESCRIPTION
Each & Every One of You (EEOOY) is a mock TV show pilot that teaches ordinary people how to make contemporary installation art. If these words strike fear into your heart or make you cringe with memories of seeing contemporary art and wondering what the it was all about, this show is for you!
Inspired by the fifties, celebrity art instructor Jon Gnagy who taught thousands of pioneer NBC TV viewers how to draw hokie landscapes. EEOOY host Andy Jenny show how fun and easy it can be to make contemporary art using his Four Installation Art Directives™.
EEOOY is a sincere but irreverent 1980’s-cable-TV-style show written and acted by ex-art critic Don Goodes. Unlike any other show on the subject, it embraces rather than tries to sidestep a central paradox: contemporary art is simultaneously profoundly significant and completely irrelevant. The show is funny and educational. Where ever EEOOY has been shown, in art galleries, museums and on cable TV in Canada, the US and Spain, it has become a cult-classic.
Two 30 minute pilots that were co-produced at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta Canada in the late nineties, as part of the Pop Sub n’Mass Culture Residency.

World’s Fastest Portrait Artist as seen on the Hoda and Kathie Lee hour of The Today Show
Robert “Rob” Surette (born August 11) is a speed-painter and public speaker known for inspiring audience members with his 6-foot paintings (created live, in 1-5 minutes each) of Steven Tyler, Martin Luther King, Jr., Albert Einstein, Lady Liberty, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Mother Teresa among many others.
Surette is known for utilizing amplified music, dramatic theatrical lights, accompanying video screens, body-encompassing paint-splattering painting techniques.
Surette grew up in Arlington, Massachusetts and received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science/Business from Saint Anselm College in 1993.
However, he wasn’t planning on a career in art when he arrived at Saint Anselm. When choosing a major, Surette was guided by the notion that artists dont make money, and decided on a major combining computer science with business. But he took art electives and spent hours drawing in his dorm room. Surette worked briefly for a video game company. Then he had what he refers to as a searching experience. For a while, I scratched together any little jobs I could get: restoring old photographs, driving an ice cream truck, delivering newspapers, drawing portraits on commission… I found a company that was looking for an artist to illustrate a couple of kids science textbooks.
Two years after his college graduation, Rob developed his first speed-painting performances and called his unique artform “Amazing Hero Art”. Surette has put on close to 3,000 shows at schools, conferences, celebrity events, fund raisers, and corporate events and in 2008 Rob performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
