Q-Portrait

During the global lockdown, Brian launched a live painting and interview series, connecting with 50 artists—painters, actors, musicians, writers, dancers, animators, and more—to explore how isolation was reshaping their creative lives. What began as a check-in turned into a vibrant chronicle of resilience and imagination. Unexpected guests included a stuntman from Black Panther, the original creator of Strawberry Shortcake and The Care Bears, a Broadway actor who portrayed John Laurens in Hamilton, and a member of the Gregory Brothers, known for the viral sensation Songify the News. The project raised $5,000 on Kickstarter and culminated in a limited-edition art book—a visual and emotional time capsule of an unforgettable moment in history.
