Here are some pics for a group show i'm doing called Isle of misfits for the canteen gallery/shop in Ottawa, Canada. I don't have the exact specific date yet. The show was themed around the idea of demented toys. It was a cool concept to me and influenced me to try some new things. check it out. I will have more info on the show later on.

Crazy Bike Ride!!

Well after being cooped up for a little over a month. I really wanted to get out and get some fresh air. I went on this crazy bike ride with my man Erik and his girlfriend Kristin. We started of in downtown San Francisco, headed to pier 39 and ended up going across golden gate bridge and back. All I can say is it was mad cold and my thighs are still sore haha!! Great fun though. Thanks Erik and Kristen for a cool trip!








I shot these at the end of the pier by the beach it was really cold that day!





Fat chain over by the Golden Gate





Ended the day chillin with my new kitty Cornbread!!

Solo Show!! Behind The Curtain at Henri&Odette Gallery in Las Vegas Dec.12th

First of I want to thank Jennifer Harrington for contacting me out of the blue with this fabulous opportunity to share and grow as an artist. I really am proud of the work I created for the show. Although the last month or so I have not slept much. I was able to really paint about some issues that have affected my life and many others also in America. The show will be from Dec.12th - Jan 6th at the Henri-odette gallery in Las vegas. So if you know anyone in that area pleas spread the word.





Here is my artist statement for the show!!

Every day the climate of American is changing. It is growing darker and darker everyday. The powers that be have put up a puppet show to blind us from the truth. How many people die each day from the war? What steps is the government taking to end the financial crisis? Why do you feel you need that new pair of shoes? We have all been blinded from the truth which has been hidden behind the curtain. All we can see is the puppets in front of us. But what if we could see behind the curtain to the hands that control the strings. Would things change or would we go back to watching the show.
These are issues I feel many of us are aware of but yet we all seem to live through our lives like robots. How many times have you heard of something bad on the news facing the country only to change the channel to watch your favorite show. We need to remember. We need to see behind the curtain.

Lastly I wanted to give you a sneak peek to one of the pieces in the show.





This piece is titled: The Real Power Behind Change.
So please check out the show or spread the word to anyone you know in the area.
thanks!!

Out of hibernation!! Obama what?

Hello everyone,
Well I have been hard at work painting for three shows I'm doing for the month of December.
First off can you believe it Obama is going to be president. I really didn't know how to react to this momentous occasion. It feels so good to know Bush will be gone. As a person with a mixed cultural background its great to see a mixed race president coming to office. I never thought I would see a person of color get voted as president. Now it feels like anything can happen. I just hope we can keep the change going and keep this president accountable. To me Obama signifies the birth of a new era and a powerful symbol of what we as Americans can do to change many of the horrible things being done in this country and by this country to others. I have great hope for the future but I feel we all must keep the work up and not rely on Obama to fix our problems.
Wow change can actually happen!!
