Second painting in the series still like where its going, I hope they keep coming. Next up new drawing for the Alice show at the Hive in March.

Stepping away from the drawings for a bit, here is a piece that was done for a show called And The Beat Goes On. It was a music inspired group show that was a lot of fun. This was the first piece in my new series that really felt like it achieved what I was looking for.

If Guernica is about the brutalities of war, than lost ideals is about how we forget our past so easily. This piece will be up at The Hive Gallery this month. The opening for the show is this saturday.

Sometimes freedom is more than the ability to go where you please. It is also the knowledge that others can as well. This piece was done for the Bee Here Now show at The Hive Gallery last month. I'm excited to say that it sold so thanks to all the supporters out there.

This was done for the "Beerotica" show at The Hive Gallery in L.A. It's a great monthly group show always fun. The next one is this saturday.

This is a sketch for a larger idea. The current pieces I'm working on all deal with questioning the wall between Israel and Palestine, and what it's purpose would be in a post apocalyptic world. This is the chimps vision of what he wants to do to a section of the wall.

Canceptual show

Crewest saves the Earth one spray can at a time.  For the past 7 years, Crewest has been at the forefront of recognizing graffiti art as a unique and valid art form with aerosol cans as one of it’s primary mediums.   In support of the many artists who have chosen to use their talents for something positive, Crewest celebrates their 7th Year Anniversary and brings you the third installment of CANceptual.  Anart exhibition giving young artists an opportunity to showcase their work alongside known artists.  Crewest encourages artists to find those old rusted cans and recycle them by turning them into fine art pieces for sale at the gallery. 

As gallery director Man One puts it, “Where the weapon of choice becomes the instrument of beauty”
