THE ARTIST
Sid Blaize (GIVEMEFACE Principal Artist from 1999 to 2008), straight out of Brooklyn, has been a professional illustrator / graphic designer for over 3 decades. From fashion to entertainment, utilizing various mediums to create successful visual promotions for a wide range of clients and major retailers.
Having garnered acclaim and accolades in the commercial art sector over three decades, including a 2022 NY Emmy for an educational project under the auspices The Xposure Foundation, recently rekindled his passion for painting after a lengthy hiatus. Pioneering a unique fusion of his fashion expertise with painterly finesse, produced an eclectic collection of hand painted leather jackets and featured at well received pop-up gallery sponsored by Art & Hustle in Brooklyn. This transformative experience inspired the artist to expand his artistic horizons to large scale canvases, resulting in exhibitions throughout the New York Metro area.
Enriched by a 42-year partnership with his wife, and the joys of family life including two children and two granddaughters, Sid Blaize continues to challenge his artistic creativity through life’s journey.
