Port explains, “From as far back as I can remember, I was always ripping out comic book and Sports Illustrated images, and trying to copy them. I would just be sitting on the couch with my parents, not thinking about any sort of approach, just drawing.”
This was just the beginning for Port, taking his impeccable ability to copy a photograph and turning it into a highly realistic body of work. This includes black-and-white vintage images of Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig. Collectors can also find football, hockey, boxing and even famous faces from the world of entertainment.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
