Bonno also has a knack for portraits. “I love faces!” he tells me, his face with a beaming grin. When I asked Bonno how he approaches his work, the answer surprised me. “I paint upside down.”
Chris’s work has also been featured in television shows such as Caroline in the City, Talk Soup and Gilmore Girls. His development as an artist has paralleled his work as an improviser, actor and comedian. With the art work being ongoing, his career as a performer has consisted of numerous appearances on tv shows and films as well as years, featuring as a standing up comedian in clubs in New York, Vegas, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles and Canada.
Here’s a review of Chris Bonno from our last visit…
1. He paints upside down (painting the bottom first and switching back and forth for shapes, colors and depth).
2. He is a painter, comedian, and actor with numerous appearances on tv shows, films, and tv commercials.
3. Though he was the class clown in grade school, he received a fine arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin with honors.
I did this for myself after seeing some inspiring photos of David. I wanted to make his hair as silver as possible. I bought some metallic silver paint…
Greg has been published in numerous books and calendars too, including Practical Photography, Nature’s Best Photography, Digital Camera World, Popular Photography, Photographic Monthly, Nature Photographer, Wild Bird, Birds and Blooms, Shutterbug and Vanity Fair magazines.
Hummingbirds have long held a strong photographic appeal for me and have recently become enamored by Sea Otters.
