Among the artist’s favorites have been an ongoing commission of classic edition series book illustration that ranges from Frost to Faulkner, Kipling to Kerouac along with the children’s book he illustrated, Kittens Need Someone To Love which is cataloged at The Library of Congress.
“This is the second time that I have featured that winking Happy Vodka bottle in my art…” says Phillips, who grins confidently with a glimmer in his eye as he pauses, “…the first was of a beautiful female nude that was done as a gift for C. J. Eiras, the owner of the brand!” That work is proudly displayed in Eiras’ own office, nestled among his other works of art collected over the years.
We are sure that both paintings will make many people “Happy” when viewing them!
