In this episode, I sit down with John Arena, also known as The Guitar Pick Artist. John has gained national recognition for his unique artwork, which recreates iconic photos of musicians and artists using only guitar picks on canvas.

I was blown away when I first met John at his booth during Art Basel, and I knew we had to have him on the show. John only started creating his artwork three years ago as a creative outlet during the pandemic. He was inspired by an artist he saw online creating mosaic pieces and decided to try his hand at using guitar picks to recreate the Rolling Stones logo. From there, he went on to create stunning portraits of famous rock stars.

John has a heart for charity, and his goal is to sell $1 million dollars worth of art to benefit various charitable causes. He recently partnered with Alice Cooper's Foundation and sold a piece for an incredible $120,000. John is open for commissions and is hoping to work with more celebrity charity foundations to donate his art and raise money for those in need.

Don't miss out on this inspiring episode and share it with a friend who loves art or music. Let's help John achieve his goal and make a positive impact in the world through his art!
