The States Project 2023
“Johnny, what’s the matter with you? Why on earth are you not actively promoting your painted states?!”
Earlier this year, a friend texted me the above after he purchased one of my STATES…
Well, it's been over 10 years since I finished painting each American state and although I didn’t forget about the project after it was completed, I didn’t really think about it until I read his text.
And he was right. I needed to revisit The States Project, it had been way too long.
I immediately dove into my art storage and found the old crate that contained TSP, and to my delight, every single state still looked just as marvelous as the day I laid them to rest.
I then broke out my camera, tripod and other art nerd equipment (yeah, I’ve been known to geek out once and a while) and feverishly began to shoot each state and digitalize them for the world to enjoy.
And at last, after countless late nights and an ocean of coffee, I bring you the STATES PROJECT of 2023!
__________________________
The sole purpose of this project is to entertain, enlighten and educate. Each state is incredibly unique and includes cities, iconic pop culture references, historical facts and a lot more interesting goodies.
__________________________
A little bonus history, each American state was hand painted on high quality canvases (1m x 1m) then digitally mastered and now they are yours to collect and enjoy!
And I recommend that you collect them all.
