February 11, 2010
Michael Godard, known as the “Rock Star of the Art World”, will have a special curvaceous guest, Pam Anderson, signing his artwork 7p.m. February 13th at The Hallmark Gallery in Rancho Mirage.
Since childhood Godard has had paint flowing thru his veins. He attended the University of Nevada in Las Vegas for Fine Arts and later attended The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
Godard has been featured on Television in HBO’s Cat House, A&E’s Criss Angel’s Mind Freak, American Casino, Inked, and a myriad of other media. A documentary on Godard’s life featured at independent film festivals winning numerous awards. His Book, “Don’t Drink and Draw”, the art and life of Michael Godard, was awarded Art Book of the Year.
Godard’s work is highly collected by movie stars, rock stars, private collectors, from young to old from all walks of life. Godard’s imaginative world of art is seen by millions of people each month world wide such as cruise lines, galleries, hotels, television, magazines and countless merchandising kiosks and stores. His paintings even adorn the walls of the officer’s lounge in the Pentagon.
Godard’s world of art invites viewers in to his lighthearted perspective of life, mirroring the world through martinis with animated olives, drunken grapes, dancing strawberries, and his own vices of gambling and the good life. Living in Vegas makes those vices easy.
Godard is also a man with a philanthropic mission to make a difference in the world through his art. He has dedicated himself to raising money for charities to help cure cancer in memory of his daughter Paige. In 2006, his 16 yr. old daughter, Paige, passed away after her battle with brain cancer. Paige’s struggle with cancer inspired Godard to discover a newfound passion and clarity.
“All the money in the world can not bring her back, but the funds I help raise for a cure will help save another child,” he says. “The world is small – you can truly make an impact on everyone you meet.”
