NEW SERIES DEBUT

Here's a 8 drawings from my new series. Enjoy!

Moving Along

I've been working on the huge drawing (right side) alittle bit more and as you can see it's vertical now.   I just need to add a few touches and I think I'll be comfortable saying that it's done.  Now I just gotta start on the second huge one!  The painting on the left is something I'm toying with for new ideas.  I decided to use club/ bar experiences as a base for amazingly cool psychedelic paintings.  The idea is to kinda live in that moment but have not seem as literal as it's seen.  I going to send out packets for galleries hopefully soon and hopefully I'll hear from them so a new show might be around the corner. I can't wait till it happens all again and hopefully I'll see people I've seen in previous shows cuz that's the funnest part of attending opening night!  Picking out an outfit is also fun :))))

This is a cover song I did for Snow Patrol's song Run. I really like this song :)

It's time

It's a new year and it's no time for jokes! I'm preparing for this next season and gearing up for my future shows. It will be SPECTACULAR, GROUNDBREAKING, AND INAPPROPRIATE! It all starts with clearing up the clutter in my room and setting up good habits and a good office to work from :)

I'm almost finished with my upcoming exciting off the hook new series! I have one of the big ones almost finished which you can see below.  There'll be 3 big drawings in my series and once I complete the remaining two I'll feel comfortable enough to show! I already have some spaces I'm thinking about sending packets to hopefully they'll like my work.  Throughout this whole process making these drawings I constantly thought about my art process and the possible things poeple might get from it. The drawings challenge our thought about art materials and I try to bring in BIC pens in the mix. The sharpies I use are not temporary so I'll have to preserve them with spray but by looking at it it seems like I challenge the archival aspect of art too.  The style is still street art inspired and you know I'll keep it fresh cuz I'm not old! Jk

The Verses Show and Updates!

Hello Everybody,

I've been working hard on the new series and right now I got the 6 foot piece of paper mounted on my wall.  It's hard work! The thing is so big it's hard to let my mind run free but it'll pay off in the end.  I decided not to post any pictures yet because I want to impress.   As I was drawing it it started looking like someone's huge sketchbook.  It looks really cool with the massive pen lines.  It somehow question what medium art needs to be made in anyways.  I think its got a lot of charisma and thought provoking potential that I hope people experience.  

I also decided to include in this post a slideshow of Verses so you don't have to click your way back to the first posts on this blog. Enjoy!

New Drawing Added!

Here's another drawing I made for my pen and sharpies series.  In this particular drawing I focus on rectagular shapes and emphasize gesture with gesso and quickness of the applied color.  The gesso becomes part of the composition too and I think it has a nice subtle feeling to it.  Hopefully you can enjoy this one like I enjoyed making it :)  I'm about to unertake my most ambitious project yet.  The 6 foot drwaing done all in pens.  I;m thinkng about a circular explosion for the first big drawing :D

Pets

Last week was one of the toughest weeks in my life.  I had to say good-bye to my dog Bubbles who was put to sleep on thursday because of ferocious cancer that she developed in her hips.  I only had Bubbles for 3 years but it sure feels like more than that.  Everyday I grew accustomed to her greetings when I arrived home from work or seeing her behind the door crack of the backyard.  She was always there and spending time with her always reduced any bad things that were happening during those times.  Some people don't understand why I miss her so much since she was only a pet.  But I think it's because she grew to be part of the family and I'm glad she did. Anyways I just had share this with everyone specially people that own pets.  There's nothing wrong with allowing your pets to become a part of your life :)

On other news I've been drawing up the rest of the new series and decided to buy a big piece of flat smooth wood for the 6 ft drawing I'm about to start.  It's gonna take a lot of time and confidence just to get through working a 6 foot tall piece of white drawing paper.  The end result I hope is delicate and unique! If you haven't checked yet I post pictures, sometimes of random art, I do on my twitter box to the right ---->  If you have a twitter account feel free to follow ;)

 

URBAN ROCKSTAR at Mama Buzz Cafe

Last Friday was the opening ceremony for my and Lovekin's show URBAN ROCKSTAR at Mama Buzz Cafe.  It was a crazy week all in all. I had to go back to the cafe fix the lights at one point and throughout the week I was trying to print out my business cards.  I actually had them printed out at Kinko's which was a dreadful experience.  They had to reprint my cards 3 times because there were serious quality issues in the printing.  The cards came out good but I think I'll have them printed somewhere else if I need more.  If anyone is wondering where I would recommend Modern Postcard or even Psprint.  The show ran smoothly and there was cheap beer only $2.  I drank one bottle.  Many people I knew showed up which made me very content and it was nice seeing all the Oakland crowd.  I even got interviewed by a reporter from the Piedmont Post :) and I loved my outfit choice.  Here are some photos of the show for those of who wish were there.  Hope to see you next time!
