Announcing huge news!

I am absolutely thrilled, excited and proud to announce that JACK Entertainment has purchased limited digital rights to the first ten paintings in my I DO Know Jack! series as well as any “Jack” paintings I create for the next 2 years! THIS IS HUGE!!! 

JACK Entertainment is a company that is owned by Dan Gilbert, owner/founder of Quicken Loans, majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the reigning NBA Champions. They operate 6 casinos in the Midwest and East Coast. They are 100% owners of the 4 casinos in Ohio and Michigan. Reproductions of my artwork will first be seen in the three Ohio casinos and then in the Detroit JACK Casino Greektown in 2017 after their rebranding remodel.

 I first contacted the company in February 2016 after hearing that The Greektown Casino and Hotel in Detroit was being rebranded to JACK Casino and Hotel – Greektown. I discovered that they also had JACK Casino and Hotel – Cincinnati, JACK Casino and Hotel – Cleveland and JACK Thistledown Racino. (In the process I learned a new word…racino…a combination race track and casino.) Their press release tag line was “Do you know JACK?”. I obviously had the answer with my series, “I DO Know Jack!”.

 The serendipitous connection between my series of paintings and their branding was too incredible to ignore. My first conversations with the President of JACK Entertainment were in April and included discussions about using my artwork for murals and perhaps elevator doors in the casinos. In fact, they even did a test fit of my artwork on elevator doors in May at The Greektown Hotel in Detroit.

The people at JACK Entertainment have been incredibly busy with remodels of all the casinos in their portfolio. After many months of working through the process, we started working on a proposal in September. The project has changed from murals and elevator doors to JACK Entertainment purchasing limited digital rights for the purpose of reproducing a limited number of images (larger than the originals) and framing them for display in public locations within their properties in Ohio and Michigan. As cool as having murals would have been, this is a much better scenario as I am confident that displaying them in this format will certainly lead to a spike in sales of my limited edition prints and other merchandise.

 In addition, they will be promoting my artwork and me to a certain degree which is incredibly important because marketing is the one thing artists struggle with the most.

 Stay tuned for updates! I will be posting on my website and my Facebook page when my artwork has been installed at each of the locations. This is a game changer!
