• More rules from the Baby’s Book of Becoming a Billionaire

  Rule #102 (Corollary to Rule #101): To be taken seriously, you must have some of your own “skin” in the game.
  
  Rule #67: You have to look in the mirror every morning, and don’t forget, no one has yet figured out a way to take it with you.

Charles Fazzino has built an artistic empire focused on creating colorful and whimsical three-D renderings of New York and other major cities around the world. His artwork can be found in the private collections of Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Eisner, Hillary Clinton, Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Roger Clemens, Michael Jordan, Julia Roberts and many other internationally renowned figures and corporations. His prestigious list of project partners includes the National Football League’s Super Bowls (XXXV through XL), Major League Baseball (2003-2005 All-Star games), and the United States Olympic Committee.

A graduate of the New York School of Visual Arts, Charles Fazzino's popularity has soared over the course of his twenty-year-career. He appears at over 30 one-man exhibitions and shows annually, treating thousands of fans to his one-of-a-kind signature drawings. In the midst of all the ambitious travels, charity promotional events, and media appearances, Fazzino finds the time to create twenty to thirty new editions of art each year. In 2002, he also unveiled a new line of one-of-a-kind canvas paintings, and has since been backed up with commission work.

Charles Fazzino says, “My ideas come from so many different places. I'm always sketching...on paper, on envelopes, on napkins...whatever is at hand. After I develop a concept in my head, my next step is to do extensive research to ensure that the image I create is accurate and truly captures the feeling of the particular city or theme that is my subject. I visit a lot of the places I paint, but I also study postcards, books, maps, videos, and personal samplings. The actual sketching/drawing begins to develop at this stage when I try to evoke memories of an event or locale with all of the research materials spread out before me.”
