This is Bourdain in both technicolor and messy drips of black ink. I was and still am a big fan of Tony’s. Before I began painting full time, my design career revolved around food clients. His book, Kitchen Confidential, was my gateway drug into the food culture, and I spent many years immersed in it. Over the years I found Tony’s shows to be the most creative things I was seeing on TV. I devoured them.
To me Tony Bourdain exemplified a literal world of possibilities and the ability to marry all the cool shit you love into one job and have fun while doing it. He loved artists, musicians, misfits and was part of the New York punk scene of the 70s. He embodied that and I incorporated a lot of messy, black Sumi ink to this piece paired with some bright, acid colors as an homage to that spirit of nonconformity. His shirt and torso are made up of long, black drips of ink. It feels unfinished, raw. In some ways, I think he was.
