Thank you for all the inspiration! I have loved you since 1979. I'm 40 now and I am understanding that life is what we make it. Share it and express it while we can, love and allow ourselves to be loved, enrich and advocate for others when provided the chance. Your poetic and charismatic presence inspires others to be all that we can be. You are truly beautiful, Paul. I will always love you. You are also the most incredibly gorgeous man on the face of the earth! (Had to add that!) Love, Barbara.

I have been to 7 KISS concerts and 1 KISS convention in nashville. You guys were real cool with your fans taking the time to talk to everyone. My last cncert was your make up tour in 96, fifth row in Dallas. I love your art, keep on rockin.

PAUL, I LOVE YOUR ALL PAINTINGS LIKE EXODUS, HAND ON FIRE, THE DREAM CATCHER, INDEPENDENCE, LAND OF SAMURAI, WHAT LIES AHEAD, THE JESTER, THE ANGEL, DOORS OF PERCEPCION. AND WE EXPECT THE SONIC BOOM ALBUM, 17 DAYS LESS.- WE ARE CRAZY.

During an exhibition of his artwork on Saturday, Paul Stanley was honored with a surprise award ceremony at Wentworth Gallery in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Paul's concert film "One Live KISS" was selected as a Telly Award winner earlier this summer, and during Paul's art VIP reception, director and producer Louis Antonelli personally presented Paul with his Telly Award statuette and certificate.

"Several years ago... Paul and I embarked on making a motion picture
together, and that picture has been considered a classic. We have been honored by being selected to win a 2009 Classic Gold Telly Award," said Antonelli. He added, "This is Paul's first time seeing [the awards,] and I think he's just an amazing artist and an amazing man. The opportunity to make this film with him and present him with these awards means the world to me, and to share it with him, of course, is an honor."

"That's a great surprise!" Stanley said, admiring the dual statuettes, adding, "Awesome... we did it!"

Producers Paul Stanley & Louis Antonelli both received the Classic Gold Telly Awards, which are presented to film & video productions that are considered to be the finest in the 30 year history of the Telly Awards.

Founded in 1978, the Telly is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional and cable TV programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. The 30th Annual Telly Awards received over 14,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.

“The great thing about doing art shows is you get to meet the people who are interested in your art, and I think that when you’re purchasing a piece of art it’s a tremendous bonus to get to meet the artist because you get a chance to pick their brain a bit and find out first hand what the piece is about for the artist,” stated Paul Stanley - the rock and roll legend and accomplished artist - in an interview with Melanie Falina of Examiner.com, “But on the other hand, I think that ultimately – as I say to most of the people who are acquiring art – I can tell you my reality of a piece but ultimately what’s more important will be yours. I can tell you what a piece means to me but just as valid if not more is what it means to you.”

Wentworth Galleries will be hosting the art of Paul Stanley this Friday and Saturday.

Wentworth Galleries is located in the Woodfield Shopping Center at 5 Woodfield Shopping Center in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Friday – September 11, 2009 -7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

I will be traveling down to my birthplace of Houston, TX on Dec. 5. So thrilled to hear that you and KISS are coming back to TX. I've got a 2nd row seat and a meet & greet . You know, I'm Native American(Coushatta) and I love Dream Catchers. The one you painted is so beautiful, just like you. So, I painted you one, and I caught you in it. I'll bring it to you. You've been my idol and mentor since 1977. You know I'll always love you. Kari Celestine

Hi Paul! I can't wait to get the new KISS cd. I love your music and of course, KISS. I sing every Sunday at my local VFW and I sing Rock and Roll All Nite for them. Its like karaoke, but I been told, I am a huge hit there! Thats nice to know. I have been feeling real down lately. My best friend, April, of 26 years, has breast cancer!! I am in shock and disbelief! I don't know how to help her. I am in Florida and she is in Ohio. I wish I could see her and be there for her! I do talk to her on the phone and I try to keep her spirits up. She is like my soul-sister! I love her very much, Paul! Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! She needs them very much. Thank you! Hope you and your family are doing good. God Bless! Hope you come down to Tampa FL, on the concert tour. Would love to see my first KISS show!! :) xoxo Love, Kathee Holiday Florida USA
