PORTRAITS OF AN ARTIST Stanley's creations
Attention New York High School of Music and Arts students! Maybe you're not such hot shit, after all. I mean, you were accepted above others, sure, but what does that mean? See that abomination over there to the right? Well, it's a collage of four pieces by KISS veteran and NYHSMA alum Paul Stanley—and they're recent! Hope for your sakes you're cheating. Or! You could start a rock band and in the distant future secure a publicist who'll trawl for art interviews on your behalf. After the jump, a small press-release sampling of what Stanley news we can look forward to in your favorite rock and art mags in the months to come. God willing.

• Art as therapy: How Stanley's artwork was therapeutic in overcoming a painful divorce
• His artwork (which did $2 million in sales last year) and how a passion has turned in to a 'second career'
• How his artwork has earned quite a following from rock fans and art aficionados alike
• Artistic inspirations and influences
• The difference between painting and performing
• Why he never really intended for anyone to see his work
• How he was admitted to the prestigious New York High School of Music and Arts not for his music but his art

I enjoy finger painting as much as the next dad, but wouldn't a more appropriate medium for this artist be doodie?
