Paraskevas Gallery in Westhampton Beach NY

"Still painting after all these years", and publishing, too, is Michael Paraskevas, whose delightful gallery on Main Street, next to Margarita Grill, overflows with colorful story-paintings. Words, of course, cannot describe, so here are a few pics of the walls of fun that you see when you step into his world.



















Over the years, the paintings and the characters within them have spawned books for kids, as well as Nickelodeon's "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast".

Dan's Papers the long-running Hamptons newspaper/featurezine regularly includes cover artwork and cartoons by Paraskevas and his mother, Betty, who writes the copy.

The Green Monkeys are the stars of a daily online comic strip by the Paraskevas duo. In fact, I spied a new installment being penned on Michael's desk when I visited his gallery! Talk about hot off the press.
