My name is Evan LaPorte and I am a painter living in New Bedford, Ma. I am a subjective painter concerned with formal issues, however I am not concerned with accurate representation. I am focused on honest translation and the creation of images informed by my hand, my history and my observations. The artists hand, the history of mark making and the process are my primary focus when creating an image. This page is an opportunity to share my paintings and some of my inspirations.

Michael Caine on Life & Death
"You are going to make every moment count. I mean, you better make every moment count. Live your life now; start in the morning. You mustn’t sit around waiting to die. When it happens you should come into the cemetery on a motorbike, skid to a halt by the side of the coffin, jump in and say: “Great I just made it.”
Sir Michael Caine, in an interview for the website the TALKS

THEY STOLE MY PAINTING....
walked in off the street, snatched it off the wall and made like rabbit with the dogs set on em.!!!
At least they demonstrated some good taste and boosted a great painting.
If your gonna be a crook you'd better have style!

BILLYKIRK
I love new American industry. Billykirk is an independent leather goods brand, small batch, timeless design solid manufacturing often by hand with attention to detail. We need more companies like this.
This video was produced over @ the Scout Mag, a website dedicated to all things cool in NYC.

PLEASE
I would kill to be able to travel here to draw and paint the melting landscape in Greenland!
These black lines in the glacier come from pollution. Because they are black not white like the surrounding snow they absorb not reflect the suns rays and create incredible caverns and rivers miles deep into the ice. Were in big trouble ( little china ).
