There is no better artist than Chris Consani

Look here how he captures Elvis, Marilyn, Bogey AND James Dean in this classic meeting

Here we see Consani showing these famous friends at play.

What would it be like if James Dean opened a trendy coffee shop you ask? Well Chris Consani knows!

How will this American genius top himself?

Look how he capture's James Dean's glibness and notice right there in the corner? BAM, his own painting in his painting!

Truly an American Master.

    Other artists would never go BACK to Billiards. But look at Consani's work here on "Game of Fate".

    Cliche indeed!

    This is pretty grand.

    That reminds me of this painting shop by my record store. Everything there is about as wonderful as the paintings here, but what really gets me going is the two paintings of Democratic and Republican presidents just hanging out and playing poker.

    Nixon just having a cigar, chilling out with Lincoln. And here's Jimmy Carter collecting money for another beer run! Looks like LBJ is holding out!

    There's actually two of them. One with all of the Democrat presidents and one with all of the Republicans. And I would own it too, but it's three hundred dollars.

    Yeah my boss is fuckin crazy about Consani. He has a huge poster in his office, with James Dean beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. At least I think it's Dean. Either way, I asked him about it once and he went on for like an hour.

    The guy is a great painter, to be fair.
