His works range from portraits of Silicon Valley luminaries, to mouthwatering representations of cuisine, and powerful poster art. He paints subjects directly from life and is dedicated to capturing the delicate nuance of people and objects that make each visual experience unique. He has been Artist-in-Residence for HackDay at the The New York Times HQ, Founder Labs, Startup Weekends in SF & NYC, GTUG at Google, Le Camping in Paris, iOSDevCamp at PayPal HQ, and AngularU in Burlingame. As a freelance courtroom artist (for UPI & others), he covered historic trials, including the trial of Dan White and Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton in the 1970's. He has painted with computer graphics systems, including Mac, since the early 1980's where he taught computer graphics to artists and designers in NYC. At Chirp, the first Twitter developer conference held shortly after the iPad came out in April 2010, Newman put aside his traditional paper and ink brushes and began using iPad to document high tech innovators in Silicon Valley.
