I was commissioned by Red Bull about a month ago to paint a large 6x4ft canvas painting for a legendary pro wakeboarder Parks Bonifay. The piece was to be displayed and presented to him during his Red Bull Roast in front over 2,000 friends & fans at Hard Rock Live. 
The piece came in on cables from the ceiling with a black curtain draped over it. Twenty minutes into the roast the curtain was pulled and the painting was revealed. It was pretty amazing to see the crowd and Parks cracking up and loving the framed piece.
Red Bull Toasted featured the guest of honor, Parks, the two time X-Game Gold Medalist winner, celebrity commentator & X-Games host Sal Masakela, celebrity guests including professional skateboarder Ryan Sheckler, stand up comedians Dan Levy and Tammy Pescatelli, and wakeboarding influentials 2007 Rookie of the Year award winner Adam Errington, four-time World Champion Shaun Murray and legend Zane Schwenk.
Here are a few process shots taken as I worked on the piece...
