This past month I was fortunate enough to show in the Le Spec gallery in LA, here are some shots of the pieces hung in the show. These pieces were made specifically for their “Viva Los Angeles” show. I spent more time on these than any other artwork in my life, I feel they’re some of the finest things I’ve ever created. Enjoy!

Well hot damn, it’s been ages! Alots been going on here, at least 3 collages in the works now as well as some illustration opportunities that could change my shit up forever. I went to Wyoming the beginning of last month and explored some insanely beautiful locations, here are the pics. Enjoy! As always, click to enlarge, especially the panorama one.

Just got done with this piece, pretty damn excited about how it turned out! It’s one of those you need to see in person to fully process, lucky for you it should be in a show this fall! I’ve included a close up so you can get a vague idea, also attached is the digital mockup of the piece. It’s interesting to see how it changes from the computer screen to an actual physical piece. Enjoy!

Also, if you’re interested in purchase or prints or the original, hit me up! Otherwise, I’ll post it on the store soon.

I’ve been (fairly) hard at work on a bunch of new projects these past few weeks. Gearing up for some shows, rad new projects and possibilities too grandiose to fully comprehend at this moment. I apologize for my lack of updates, my artistic hermitdom and love for video games really does make me forget that people actually DO want to see my work in process, and I gotta step outside my bubble from time to time.

Here’s a DIGITAL mockup of a piece I’m working on now. I’m sitting down and cutting/placing everything tomorrow, I finished up some slightly unsuccessful tests with Gloss Medium this past week and am ready to move forward on it. Lemme know what you think HERE please!

So I had a damn fun time doing a shoot for The Black Cloud Collective the other day in LA, and of course it was absolutely perfect cloudy/shitty weather. So appropriate for the band name. Here’s a few shots, saving the best for last and by last I mean their new EP art I’m working on. Should be done in a few weeks!

So I learned that strangling almost always makes for a good photo. Proof:

Worked for Architects too!

So I setup a new store through paypal, everything is 100% safe and legit. I’m printing/shipping all these myself so the first few sales may have some hiccups but I’ll smooth out any bump in the road ASAP. I’ll be updating this as soon as more photos/pieces are available and most will have options for me to print for you, a digital download do it yourself or the ORIGINAL piece if available. Happy shopping!

I don’t think I ever showed y’all this guy, made it about a year and a half ago for a show but it was never posted online. Maybe I was embarrassed by it’s slight vulgarity? Either way, enjoy! Oh and it’s for sale in the store. (click to enlarge)

While waiting for my aggravatingly slow scanner , I found some old manipulations I did of favorite photos while bored. I have no clue why I didn’t post them, as they look pretty damn fun! | Click to enlarge |

Briefly at home in LA before another jaunt up to SF to have my weekly gauntlet session. Here’s a few shots from last week in San Fran:

Didn’t wanna include this third one cause it’s such the “obvious” photo to take.. but still, it’s fun.

Temporarily “moved” up to San Francisco the next few months to play in a bunch of my friends from colleges soccer league. I’m gonna try and see as much of this city as I can while I’m snoring on friends couches. Heres a few from Chinatown:

I saw a few years younger version of that “God Less America” on Google maps and literally hunted it down.

It only took me three years…

to finally make these animated gifs from atop the Sir Walter Scott monument in Edinburgh, Scotland. I’m home now, for a good while, time to start really digging and working with all the imagery I’ve collected over the years. Keep checking in!
