Artist and showman Michael Israel displayed his unique skills last month by giving several free demonstrations in the Quarter at the Tropicana before his scheduled shows. Fans packed the atrium to watch the buff action-painter splash his canvases with color. Using a variety of brushes, Israel spun his canvases upside down and applied paint in a series of choreographed moves inspired by martial arts. His subjects included a portrait of John Lennon (and yes, he painted the cat-girl as well) and a homage to the New York City firemen of 9-11, called "Hero."
