From Imagine Dragons to the Goodmans — even 13 Action News’ very own Tricia Kean — Neal Portnoy is a man on a mission to document Las Vegas entertainment history.
His illustrations are instantly recognizable, which is all the more impressive considering his top tool of choice.

Inside Portnoy Gallery, you’ll find about 3,000 felt tip markers.
“I use all the markers,” he said.
