In September 2008, he was the opening act for Blue Man Group's tour in Canada and the United States.^[1] He has also opened for Snoop Dogg. During the halftime of a Golden State Warriors basketball game in November 2007, Garibaldi painted Carlos Santana, after which the musician unexpectedly greeted Garibaldi and later signed the creation.^[2] On April 11, 2009, he appeared on The 700 Club and painted a portrait of Jesus.^[3] On July 29, 2010, he painted his first self-portrait during a benefit performance at the 11th Annual Sacramento Film and Music Festival at the Crest Theatre, following the world premiere of Walking Dreams, a documentary about his work directed by Chad Ross.^[4]
