Checking out Oakland

Well a few Sundays back I got to check out this daytime Oakland fiesta by lake Merrit.





They had an art show going on with chairs painted by young artists. Some very cool stuff.











This name looks so familiar.





They had free food in here. so you know I was happy.





After that I just chilled out and watched the sites.
People playing 4 square. I miss that game.








some pics of the little Lake Merrit harbor.




















That was a great way to spend a Sunday.

2d/3d Art Show Pics

Hello everyone! Well I finally got some pics from the 2d/3d art show. Well I first wanted to show you some pics of the Qee I painted and the art piece I completed to go along with it. Here is the Qee I painted.














Well let me tell you that Qee took longer than I thought it would to complete but it was fun.
Here is the Qee Along with the painting that goes with it.





If your interested in purchasing either of the these pieces or the complete set contact the fabric8 shop.(www.fabric8.com)
Also I have some pics of other pieces in the show done by Phoneticontrol, Reuben Rude, and Ursula Young.














I think this show was really cool. I hope I get the chance to do some more work like this.
Later guys and gals.

2d/3d A Customs Show coming soon!!!!

Hey everyone, so the 2d/3d customs show is coming up. The idea was to create a 2d art piece and also paint a 3d Toy to go along with the piece. I got a sneak peak at some of the stuff in the show when I dropped my work of at Fabric8. They all look amazing.
The reception is Saturday August 16th. The show will be held at two locations Neon Monster on 901 Castro st from 3-7pm and also at FABRIC8 on 3318 22nd St. from 5-9pm. The pieces will be on view until September 6th so if you can't make it Saturday you still have time to check it out. Thank you Neon Monster and Fabric8 for putting this on.

First bike trek to San Francisco.

Hola mi amigos, I recently went out to San Francisco on my bike from my new home in Oakland. I quickly realized the difference between the flat streets of San Jose and the crazy roller coaster that is San Francisco.





So, the main reason I went there was to pick up a design it yourself Qee for the 2d/ 3d customs show I will be doing. I picked it up at the Neon Monster shop on 22nd and Castro. It's a cool shop they sell comics, art, music, and toys. All things I love.
you should check it out if your in the area.








Here is the Qee I will be painting for the show. I painted a small Qee once before for fun ,but it was a small one. Im interested in how this big one will turn out.





Later.

Hitting up Larkin St

Hey , what's up everyone. Went out Saturday night to support my man Otto on his new show "The Sea of Change" at the Shooting gallery. I really liked his boat installation.














I also checked out White Walls gallery show with Adam 5100 and Michael Genovese. There were some very cool pieces there.

Changes Changes

Was up everyone. Trying to get everything ready for my move. My girlfriend Kei and I are relocating from san jose wich is cool dont get me wrong, but I need to grow. I need new surroundings. In about month or so we should be settled into our new place up in Oakland. We will be moving to the lake merritt area so everything should be fine. I am excited to be in a familiar but new place. Also be on the look out for my new show in November at the Henri-Odette gallery in Las Vegas. Later skaters

July 4th

What's up everyone. I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July. I ended up going out to treasure island to enjoy a barbecue and fireworks
with some friends. I ended up leaving my cell phone at home so there was no way for to find my friends house out there, but I said screw it and went anyway. Here are some pics I took in the hour and half before I luckily found one of my friends moving his car!! whew what a day that was.









Too bad it was hard to see any fire works that day because of the fog. The weirdest thing after the fireworks the sky cleared up beautifully. Oh well I still got to eat some great food and have a couple of beers with friends so it was still a great day.

Something for fun!!!

I"ve been working on a fun project for myself. I thought it would be cool to document my paint process for this piece check it out.





Here is the finished product and below is the process!!! enjoy!!!
