g'bye Yomemite :(

So, this week wraps up all our time at the Yoseite Studios. I sit here at 4 AM glossing a couple pieces for the last time. I decided to spend my last week here painting a giant piece for my livingroom and it might be my favorite I've ever painted (come July I'll be putting it out as a Comic Con exclusive). I've spent so many late hours in here blasting music, laughing at jokes spoken over partition walls to funny people, yelling 'Fuck!' alot when I screw up but mostly learning. I'm looking at the first painting I ever did in here years ago on the wall and it's awful but sentimental to me. I think I've come a long way since then. I love painting. I absolutely love it. My brain can't stop creating. I've never felt this satisfied artistically in my life. Spending night till morning flipping 6 foot wood blocks and feeling my legs hurt from leaning over wet paint is the vacation of my life. I'm gonna miss it in here ...*



..and while we're on the subject I really have to acknowledge the artists in the space:

Seonna Hong, Souther Salazar, Mark Todd, Esther Pearl Watson, Martha Rich, Megan Whitmarsh, Saelee Oh and Korin Faught. Seriously a spoil of riches in talents AND nobody's stuff ever looks alike!

So, we are having our last party and sorta art/yard sale tonight Friday, June 26th from 7PM - 11:55PM
1302 Yosemite Drive Eagle Rock

here are a couple studies that you can check out when you come bye:

after the party I'm headed to The Steve Allen Theatre for the midnight show of 'The Show Where TREVOR MOORE Does a Talk Show Thing and JOSH FADEM Does Some Other Stuff Too All In One' where I'll be doing a lil' stand-up. Should be fun!



AND Saturday night at CHG the absolutely amazing Korin Faught will be having her solo..!



SO ..there are 3 ways to see me this weekend. See?! I love you !

Fly India

So, I'm putting out images as the gallery allows. This one like the Ganesh piece below was done very early in the show list. I think I was summoning the Disney park posters when I was painting it. I figured the show needed one cliche snake charmer image, right? Alls I know is that this would look great in MY livingroom -ha!

more to come!

INDIA!!

So.. hello all! It's been a million years since I've posted last. I've basically been living in my studio (we all move out of Yosemite this month -will let you know if we have a final moving-out bash) painting my solo. The date is Saturday, August 15th at CHG in Culver City.

The title of the show is 'INDIA' and is the toughest subject I've ever tackled but has been completely rewarding. The show will be compiled of the Gods, animals, plantlife, structures and the people of India. I promise you you will not want to miss it.

I'll keep you posted. Promise!
