Do you know what today is? It& #39;s the 30th birthday of "Law & Order" and I am going to celebrate by sharing some of my L&O art.
This is "A Night Away," which exists b/c I answered a craigslist ad for "someone who can paint Law & Order characters as a gift for my boyfriend."

In early 2003 I lost my job and was watching hours of "Law & Order" reruns on TNT each night. So I did the natural thing and adapted an episode into a coloring book and Conan O& #39;Brien gave one to Jerry Orbach.

S. Epatha Merkerson said she had this page tape up in her dressing room.
I as also able to use my employer& #39;s vacated loft space to do a pop-up Law & Order group art show, before pop-up pop culture group shows were even a thing.
"Anamorphic Orbach," which looks like a big smear until you glance at it from just the right angle.
A nice portrait of Dianne Wiest from one of my painting instructors, Noah Buchanan.
In 2010 I curated a sequel show at Meltdown (RIP) called "These Are Their Stories," where the concept was to make a piece based on a logline from the DirecTV guide. For example, "McCoy Attempts to Prosecute Two Bounty Hunters" by @scottlava
"A Rich Man and his Very Young Daughter are Shot" by Julia Vickerman.
"Death of a Bully" by @boxbrown
"Goren Takes on a Chess Master" by @whirringblender
"Killer Has a Show Fetish" by Ben Walker. (Rene Balcer came to the show and bought this and all the other Goren pieces he could get his hands on.)
"Two Teens Disappear from a Museum" and "Detectives Look for a Racist" by @dynamoe
"The Wife of a Once-Popular Singer (Gary Busey) is Found Dead," by @zdarsky
"A Complicated Murder Case" by yours truly. I was like, "I do enough painting, I want to make a diorama."
"Detectives Look for Last Customer," an incredible cross-stitch by @Schindermania

Moving back to my own stuff, here is "The Code (Briscoeshido)" https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/prints/products/the-code-briscoeshido-signed-print">https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collectio...
"Crimefighters (Credits March)." I remember someone got mad at me because the Christian Bale Batman is not contemporary to this Law & Order cast. https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/prints/products/crimefighters-signed-print">https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collectio...
And the Marvel counterpart: https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/prints/products/in-the-mighty-marvel-manner-signed-print">https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collectio... I am a big fan of the final L&O ensemble.
Lately I& #39;ve gotten back into painting Sam Waterstons. https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/prints/products/jack-attack-signed-print">https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collectio...
And Jerry Orbachs. In fact, I& #39;m on the verge of completing the finest Jerry Orbach portrait of my career. https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=orbach">https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/search...
Oh yeah, I should probably mention the Jerry Orbach car. https://twitter.com/Brandon_Bird/status/897841725837787138?s=20">https://twitter.com/Brandon_B...
And the SVU Valentines, which are still one of the most popular things I& #39;ve done (after the Nic Cage colorforms and the paintings of Shia LaBeouf as every Doctor Who). https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/greeting-cards/products/svu-mini-valentines-set">https://brandonbird.myshopify.com/collectio...
In conclusion, I enjoy the program "Law & Order."
