What People are saying 

Here’s my connect to your Art.   I feel like I’m looking through your eyes capturing their utopia. No signs of hardship. I get mesmerized by the way you capture their peace freedom and liberation.  Cosmic energy all around! Have a friendly day!  Shelly 

Your work is breathtaking! It really captures the soul of the artist in a fun abstract way! It’s serious and fun all at the same time. What a rare gift!  Donna

Love your artwork. For me, I live in Ireland, we have cold, dark winters with very short days and long nights. I was drawn to your art because of the vibrance in colour, it brings a bit of light to the darkness! Of course, I'm a huge blues fan as well.Thank you for sharing your art.  Stephen

Well, your artwork seems to bring a feeling of precision and content that is often not seen in art today. Where as many people in today's world resort to graphic design to make their art, you keep a classic and colorful look with your hand paintings. A vintage look for say, that can evoke feelings of joy to anyone who has seen it. Although I have only been followed for a short period of time, your creative and mesmerizing works relating to the bands and artists I love never fail to put a smile on my face. And as I personally would love to have one of those works in my office surrounded by other Beatles posters, I am also happy for anyone that gains the honor to have such work in their presence.   Dante 

I find your style of colorful versions of people while still looking real is amazing.  Michael

What I’ve especially enjoyed about it is that you’re able to capture iconic and emotional moments in your art and the colours you use truly capture the historic essence of those moments making it feel real yet not undermining the fact that it is indeed an art and a tribute where are you paying respect to these icons!  Shad

What I appreciate about your work is the wildness. It gives us an idea of the feeling people may have gotten when those musicians were expressing themselves. I really love your art, I’m an artist my self too!   Josh

Mixing music and artists with artwork is so amazing because they are both so similar in feeling! KennyI actually have one of your pieces, Prince! One of my favorite artists. Makes me smile every time I walk by it.   Amy

I was in the music shop today taking my daughter to guitar lessons. Ben and I were talking and he told me you were an artist...I think your paintings are amazing.   Jennifer

I love the color depth and especially love the musician based art   Christi

Hi Al!... I feel like I can hear the music the way that you paint. It is as if a 2D image produces audible noise in my mind, and it is beautiful.   Matt 

Your artwork seems to “move” or flow in a way that brings life to it. Very bright and colorful, but also emotional and meaningful, especially the subject of which you paint. My favorite, SRV, had a beautiful soul and you always seem to capture that.  John

I love your fantastic use of color, your interpretation of your subjects and the subjects you choose. I am a big fan of music art and think your painting of jesus is amazing.  Patrick

I’m 16 and a big fan of psychedelic stuff , your artwork uses every colour to really capture the contours of the body and I can feel the soul of every musician in every single one of your paintings ;)  George

What I love about your art is the vibrant colour choices that really bring it to life, and the detail that you achieve in your art. It’s outstanding!  James 

I think the color in your paintings are beautiful!!! I really really love that stevie ray vaughan painting you made!  Gil 

Hi Al! Nice hearing from you, I found out about your art thanks to the Paul McCartney painting giveaway. I really love it (plus I'm a Beatles fan). I've checked out your instagram account and I just think you're so talented. I love the colours your use for the paintings and just the overall feeling they give out. There's something so quirky about your work but yet so intimate, that's the only way I can put it into words, sorry!!!  Jaki

I love your work so much. And it's excite me a lot when you draw one of my favorite artist of all time. Sir Paul McCartney. The detail of your work says it all. So amazing! I wish i have one of your paintings. I'm from the Philippines.  Korics

I just think it's intriguing how you can display these people in such a trippy and tasteful way. I love the George Harrison one... The colors are amazing. Keep up the good work!   Jack

I've always find these kind of art captivating, the colors you put in seems alive and so much so that your admirer want to live in it (me), you can see that on every details and every lines that you have put your life into it, I mean how else would one see art if it wasn't for the magic that they produced. I hope you carry on with what your doing, and I hope your art can bring more joy to the world as it has to mine.  Garcia

I am a true Beatle fan. your art is very real and  “touching”.. anxious to see more of your creative works  of art  Bonnie

I enjoy the abstract yet detailed elements of your colorful artwork. I’m attracted to the content and design of your pieces. As an avid musician and music listener, I am constantly looking for art that presents the artists I love and that’s what your work does for me. It’s great that you reach out to your followers. Amazing art! Keep it up Al!  Jon 

At first it was just because it was Bruce Springsteen, then I looked at others and you seem to capture the spirit of the subject. A friend of mine posted your website for unique Christmas gifts. The colors caught my eye right away. When I went onto your site and saw the subject matter it was very easy to make personal connections through musicians, songs, and moods. I am considering one for my dad as a gift. I loved the guitarist.  Lauren

I’m a musician. Need I say more? I first saw your work at Bridgets in Ambler on their black walls. Your painting of Frank Zappa jumped off the wall to me. You’ve painted a lot of my heroes. Thank you,  Randy 

Al, I'm drawn to the subject matter and the abstract style. And while its abstract in a way, the rendering is very accurate and recognizable, and you capture the essence of the subject. I like the way you use bold colors and geometry to imply shading.   Dan

Hmm...it is often hard to articulate my connection to works of art but I'll try!. I think I  attracted to your work because i feel your feelings/passion come through and your color palettes i connect with also.  Barb

Your work has lovely color schemes and combination of styles. What I looked at really captures the subject you are painting. More than color, its the feeling you put behind it. Thank you for sharing your work and reaching out. I look forward to see more.  Wendi

Your art work is  Absolutely  Gorgeous!  Peter

The colors and Philly culture attract me to your art. I love looking at them when I go to Her Daughters! Looking forward to following your work.   Bella

What isn’t there to love about your artwork AL?. I love your style I love all the color, specially the color! I have loved that painting of Amy Winehouse ever since I first saw you show it. I was having a few problems applying the promotion code last night on my order. So I figured I would challenge it again sometime today. LOL it’s a Christmas present to myself.Thank you for emailing me, that was thoughtful. Love and light   Val 

I am a music teacher. Your art spoke to me because I love music and I love color!  Linda 

What I like about your art is it seems to be an intrinsic part of who you are.  You take your gift and execute it beautifully.  I appreciate the story behind a piece and the process/what inspired the artist to paint it. I believe we will eventually see a painting of yours that speaks to us.  Carrie

Only in the last handful of years did I find my interest in art, painting more specifically. But in that time I’ve looked at a lot of paintings from a variety of mediums.  Your painting simply jumped out at me when I first came across one on instagram.  Your palette (forgive me if I misuse the proper nomenclature.....but hopefully you’ll get my meaning!) is striking. Your subject matter always connects with me.  And of course the representational nature (vs a more illustrative approach) I find most appealing.  Your work has punch!  Matt

I was lucky enough to stumble upon your Instagram a couple weeks ago and really liked the style of your paintings.  Sorry if this isn’t the way to describe your work, but I was always a fan of pop culture related original artwork.  I plan on purchasing something in the near future.Keep up the good work!   Craig
