This guy caught a big break when his painting was featured on Gossip Girl…maybe they should take a listen to my music…wink wink ;) I read about him in an article in The Daily Beast yesterday. So, like all other humans that enjoy Starbucks and Hollister outlets I looked him up on Wikipedia and they said:

Phillips is known for his large-scale glossy hyper-realistic paintings, recalling the pictorial style of magazines from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and reflecting traditions of popular image culture. His paintings represent close-up portraits, predominantly of women from fashion and soft porno magazines, but also persons from the fields of pop music and politics. He says “My pictures involve a kind of wasted beauty – that’s always been a thread in my work.”
