Interior Design of Antonio Ballatore

Antonio Ballatore, host of HGTV’s The Antonio Treatment does badass remodels of everyday homes. His style is very textural, industrial and creative. I like that he chooses comfortable furniture that you’d actually want to live in. He also has pretty great taste in artwork and color schemes. My lady records his show for me every week and I’m always inspired by his work.

Here are a couple before/after shots:

Concept sketches for an animation project from 2003. Illustrations by William Steinman. Hoping I find the time in 2010 to finally bring this to life.

Team USA Silver Medalists

I created this poster late night on Friday, February 26 after it was determined Team USA and Canada would meet in the Gold Medal game. I was hoping Team USA would prevail, in which case, I was considering doing a short run of high quality prints.

Although the Americans battled valiantly, they fell 3-2 in overtime, marking the first time the Olympic hockey tournament has been won by the home team. What a great tournament.

I went to college (undergrad) with William Steinman. He’s street-inspired artist living in ~~New York~~ East Hollywood with his lady ~~attending Queens College working towards his MFA.~~ We used to paint trains together. I’m also lucky enough to own a few of his VERY early art pieces.

He has recently posted new work, which was photographed and added to his web site by his special lady Kate Miss from for me, for you. For some time now he’s been incorporating comic book and pop art images into his work. His new stuff is a lot larger scale, which Kate suggests has to do with his giant studio space.

Dude’s legit.
