On Saturday January 29, 2011, at 7pm at the Asbury Lanes, a group of wonderful ladies and I are working with our friend Nick Villapiano and tons of other awesome musicians, artists, local businesses, friends and family, to put together a benefit for Nick and his treatment of MS. He was recently diagnosed with A Typical MS and like so many Americans and young people, doesn't have health insurance. This is where everyone came in. The event should be amazing. We have great bands playing: The Jack Moves, The Amboys, Only Living Boy, Atlantic, Atlantic, and The Gay Blades.
We have tons of awesome gift baskets being auctioned off as well. One of the baskets we are doing is a "Nick Basket". It's going to be filled with all things Nick. He's a huge fan of the Yankees so I offered to do a painting of the Yankee logo for the basket and I couldn't be happier with how it came out. After finishing this one, I definitely feel that compared to this time last year, I have significantly improved in my paintings skills. I also have a commission job to do one of the Mets logo.
This event has really been a wonderful thing to be involved in. Not only am I glad to help Nick, but it has shown me a wonderful side of human kind. The generosity of the community we live in has been uplifting and hope inspiring. From Red Bank, to Asbury, to Bradley Beach to the musical community to the art community to all the way in California and New York. People have opened their hearts and it's a wonderful thing to witness. Hope to see everyone there!
