I recently had the pleasure of being asked to create a painting for World 50.  They requested that I compose a painting based upon some of their signature elements and explained that I would also have the opportunity of getting a painting to Mr. Schultz.  Check out the final paintings "After Noon Brainstorm" and Starbucks® Time" along with some photos of getting ready to ship the paintings off to Seattle.
