Macy's – Christmas Gift

China Moon

Tropical perfume ad


Here's my latest work for Macy's West cosmetics. I've always admired those classic vintage travel posters from the early part of the last century. The way they tantalize and entice you toward veiled and mysterious locales with whispered promises of unparalleled adventure. Who hasn't reveled in that fantasy! It's very seductive. I love when a project speaks to me that way and inspires that same romantic yearning for the faraway, secluded and exotic. I'm also drawn to the intimacy of the private moment, that furtive spritz of cologne as she dashes off into the twilight to a romantic rendezvous.

Macy's Passport 2007 – San Francisco


September 20, 2007.

Here's a shot of Benjamin in front of his work at the Macy's Passport 2007 V.I.P. gala in San Francisco on Thursday, September 20, presented by American Express. What a fabulous, glittering night. His stunning artwork was displayed on the red carpet right outside the main entrance, and then, immediately inside, this huge suspended version towered over the crowd to welcome everyone into the celebration. It was a perfect complement to the overall fantasy theme of the night. The pre-show entertainment featured onstage and roving performances by Cirque du Soleil. It was inspiring to be part of such an elegant and worthwhile evening of art, fashion and philanthropy which has dazzled for 25 years and raised $25 million in support of the fight against HIV/AIDS.
