An Artistic Touch

The music performances were skillfully complemented by a performance art show by David Garibaldi entitled Rhythm and Hue. Garibaldi, a rising modern pop art icon in his own right, is best known for his lightning -fast renderings of 6-foot portraits of pop icons, rock stars, and sports figures to musical accompaniment.

David Giribaldi

From beginning to end within minutes. Brilliant.

On this day he wowed the crowd of nearly 600 with four stunningly life like portraits of Hugh Hefner, Bret Michaels, President Obama and Jimmy Hendrix in under twenty minutes. They were each auctioned off instantly for tens of thousands of dollars to benefit California Police Youth Charities.
