"In 35 years as an artist, Paul Bryan claims to have done nearly 15,000 paintings – 517 and counting since St. Patrick's Day alone – which he's sold and given away as gifts.

Over the years, Bryan has sent paintings to musicians, celebrities and politicians.

Bryan said his hyper-realistic art was inspired by the simplicity of Oriental art paired with his love of Western pop-culture. His gallery ranges from paintings of celebrities in their youth to playing cards, but most are two-tone portraits, all punctuated by his signature red dot.

"I think this kind of art appeals to a whole lot of people, more so than a picture of a ship or something," said Pete Nichols, 66, who was visiting from Camarillo and left with a painting of Jimi Hendrix.

Bryan refers to the dot as a rounded square and said he loves to incorporate it into the paintings in different ways, for example as the lit end of a cigarette. He said he didn't want to use his initials on the art because he wanted his paintings to speak the same language and the dot is universal."
