Literal con artist! Doesn’t do live wedding paintings. This dude should be reported for FRAUD!!!! he showed up and left because he doesn’t know how to paint the screen printed on a...
canvas and signed his name. Even the finish that he painted over the pixelated image isn’t even over the whole canvas. Forever furious I hired this individual.
To my fellow brides, I hired Gary to be a live paint at my wedding last month. I wanted someone who can capture our once in a life time moment with his artistic talent. As he profu...
sely claims, he is oil painting on top of acrylic paint which he paints at the venue. When I received the painting, it is a bad photo that was photoshopped and printed on canvas with a few brushstrokes to cover up the fact that it was not in fact a real painting. The sharp crisp lines on the edge and the pixilated canvas was a dead giveaway. My review is from my experience and I just to make other brides aware of what artwork they are paying for before spending a lot of money on something that was suppose to be a unique memorable piece.
