PAUL STANLEY presented his art, as well as himself, last Saturday at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. Here is one fan's story and photos of this exciting event: Paul arrived a bit early for his scheduled 1-3p time at the show, and also stayed until around 3:45p. There weren't too many people at the Celebrity Publishing Booth lined up to see him, unlike other appearances, where it is absolutely mobbed with KISS and Paul fans. I recognized a few fans from the annualNY/NJ KISS expo standing there and said hi. I snapped as many pictures as I could of Paul which was difficult because of security. For the most part, people were only there to catch a glimpse or autograph, not to buy his beautiful art, because, let's face it, the common fan cannot afford what it being charged for those pieces. What has been shown on Websites doesn't do his art justice, let me tell you. To see it all in person - it's almost too much! the colors are gorgeous, and many different sizes were on display.
After a little while, one of the gallery's female workers had come outside the booth and was saying that if anyone was interested in seeing the art closeup, they could go behind the barriers. I don't think this would include a "meet" with Paul, but it would sure get you closer to him. I have been in love with Paul since 1977 and have met him numerous times, so this was not a big deal to me, but anytime I can get close to him I go for it. This girl, who was very nice, escorted me and a friend I met at the Times Square Halloween Virgin Records signing (Gene & Paul) behind the makeshift wall where Paul was. He was talking to buyers, to Gerard the gallery owner, etc.
Going to the expo, I really had no intention of buying because I cannot afford to right now, but I could not resist! I love his self-portrait, and they made it very easy for me to acquire this beautiful piece of art. I wasin the booth for quite a while as the arrangements were made for me to buy a 16" x 20", and as I saw Paul was not always occupied with buyers, I took it upon myself to keep him busy. I asked how his son Colin was and if he had any pictures. No pictures but he had video on his phone or blackberry which was shot Friday before he left. What a cute baby Colin is! not sure who he looks like yet..
