GREAT CHANCE TO GET AFUN WORK BYGODARD AT A GREAT PRICE! DON\'T MISS OUT! THE ROCK STAR OF THE ART WORLDMichael Godard artwork doesn\'t just sit there on the wall waiting to be noticed...it jumps out at the viewer with bold color, dramatic black backgrounds, and outrageous humor! Born in Southern California, Godard was a precocious kid with a multitude of talents and a dark home life filled with hidden abuse. He excelled in math, music and art Suite an achievement, considering that his family moved around so much that he attended a total of sixteen different schools. Humor was always his defense and his weapon. As a young man he attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and studied fine art at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. The decision to become a full-time painter came later in his life, after stints as a mechanical engineer, commercial illustrator, caricature artist and successful entrepreneur. Nothing came easy ashe fought his way into an art career, inventing his own path and his own one-of-a-kind style. Godard says, \"First I learned the rules of the art world, then forgot them all and painted the way I wanted to.\" Olives entered the picture when Godard was struggling through his daughter Paige\'s illness, spending long hours in the hospital when she was in a coma. Desperate for some cheerful element to keep him afloat emotionally, he started a new series of paintings--bringing olives to life in humorous scenarios, rendering them in bright colors against a dramatic black background. Three Amigos., Olive Party. and Seven Deadly Zins. were all breakthrough pieces for the young artist, launching him to national recognition. His wild marketing stunts brought more notoriety. \"I don\'t mind criticism from the art world or the public,\" says the artist. Without it, I \"I\'d know I \'m playing it way too safe.Now the country\'s biggest selling artist, the \"Rock Star of the Art World\" creates his famous martini-themed artwork for a huge collector base of celebrities, musicians and regular folks who love his irreverent subjects and vibrant style. There\'s a long waiting list for Godard original paintings (priced upward of $75,000) and his sold-out giclees bring big bucks on the resale market. You might spot Godard on television on HBO\'s Cat House, A&E\'s Mind Freak, American Casino and Inked, among other places. A documentary on his life won awards when it was shown on the independent film festival circuit and his recent book Don\'t Drink and Draw won the Art Book of the Year award. He looks like a tattooed outlaw and runs with the bad boys, but Godard has a soft streak a mile wide. He?s a great dad, contributes to many charitable causes, (including the Paige Godard Foundation, established to help fund research to cure the illness that ultimately took his daughter\'s life in 2006) and has learned in the school of experience to value the things that really matter in life. \"Put good in, get good out\", is one of the artist\'s favorite sayings.
