I was excited about this show as it was for Arrow Electronics, a company that had sponsored me in the past for an event in Denver, Colorado.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 
\nA great relationship grew between myself and and a few top executives at the company, so they brought me in to provide corporate entertainment<\/a> at their global conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.<\/p>\n

Arrow Electronics<\/a>, a fortune 500 company, provides technology solutions globally using electronic components. They have done some amazing things and even joined a collaborative project to create a car for Sam Schmidt. He is a former driver for the Indy Racing League whose career ended after an accident left him a quadriplegic.<\/p>\n

The car is actually the first of its kind…<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 
\nIt uses an array of technology to allow someone paralyzed from the neck down to drive on a racetrack. Some of the features that allowed Schmidt to drive include cameras mounted on the dash to detect head movements to steer and a bite sensor to brake. It\u2019s really an amazing thing.<\/p>\n

This was a great event as there were people from all over the world. An amazing and energetic crowd who, thankfully, really seemed to enjoy my speed painting<\/a> performance. I painted a fun set that really appealed to the global audience.<\/p>\n

Ray Charles, Albert Einstein, and Gene Simmons were painted in mere minutes to an engaged audience. The event took place at an awesome outdoor venue. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess<\/a>, an award winning luxury resort, was where it all went down.<\/p>\n

Arrow Electronics has offices all over the world. Once the performance was over they allowed different offices to stake a claim to the speed paintings.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 
\nOne piece is going to the global office in Denver, while the other pieces are heading to Italy and Germany. I love to see the work I create go to so many parts of the world. I believe my paintings can be seen in over 15 countries that I know about. Hopefully, there are more countries that I have not been notified of.<\/p>\n

I love what I do and want to thank Arrow Electronics for selecting me as their corporate entertainment<\/a> last night. Hopefully, there will be many more performances to come with this cutting edge, innovative company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
