The Stand Comedy Club
get your laughs in at union square
The Stand is one of the most beloved comedy clubs in NY, with regulars like Dave Chappelle, Michael Che, and many more. I’ve had the opportunity to work with The Stands owner, Paul Italia, many times over the years. When he asked me to paint the outdoor seating area I was really excited, as The Stand had hired a wonderful artist to create a beautiful structure. I knew whatever I did had to be simple, and allow the artistry of the structure itself to remain the focal point. Working with spray paint allowed me to create a gradient, radiating out from the center, giving the viewer a place to rest their eyes. This was truly a study on color and shape, it was challenging, but watching it all come together was truly a treat!
