Lets Scratch this Paragraph
and instead say this
In 2008 John decided to take his experience in corporate America, working for FOX 5 television as a National Marketing Director as well as creating a name for himself in the NY Artworld as a Solo Gallery Artist and then decided to put everything on hold.
Starting an online magazine http://www.thewnewyorkoptimist.net and portal for artists from around the world to present their work to the world .
The goal is to open additional ways for artists to share their work with the world virtually and expand their fan base. In today’s time and the new normal, being able to continue expanding the arts virtually is more important than ever.
Look for both Coming Soon.
His Art and Film Collaboration
Many times when we see TV movies and film, we see art in the background. John Sebastian will expand his reach by making his extraordinary art work available to be used on both by partnership and sale.
The next time you see a movie think about the art behind the scenes. One day soon that art will be John Sebastian’s Art. From the business office to the board room, the painting in the background might be one of his incredible pieces.
How to get one of these incredible pieces of art
John’s Art is available to purchase for business, film, exhibit, gallery, home, office and apt buildings and Artist in Residence.
