Thanks Claudio!

Mike Bertino and I are showing together on Aug 15th at Sugar Hair Salon!  Brother Reade is going to be rapping and DJ Them Jeans will be spinning it up crazy style.  It’s going to be a lot of fun.  The above image is a detail from a larger painting that will be in the show, and the image below has all the info, with a drawing of Mike’s in the background.  Hope to see you there!

I’m in a group show this September…the big tinyshowcase show in Brooklyn! Three of the pieces were a collaboration with Drew Beckmeyer which was an awesome experience.

Here is one of the pieces that we made together:

This one is just me:

I’m in a group show tomorrow in Downtown L.A!

Come check it out!

Graduation was a success and Europe was fabulous! Ann Field, Art Center’s Illustration Department chair, led us through a whirlwind tour of a variety of London’s art and illustration scene(s).  To name a few, we went to Sir Peter Blake’s studio (a major highlight for me!),  the adorable Rob Ryan’s studio (I LOVE this guy’s work), Peepshow (collective), Le Gun (collective/magazine), Container (collective), White Cube Gallery, London Art Projects, and many, many others.  Everyone was so warm and loving, it was impossible to not fall in love with London and to want to cuddle up with all the great talents which are there.  We also visited the Darwin exhibit at the natural history museum, which was super neat for me, as I’m always a sucker for pickled animals. Just kidding, it was really sad, but fascinating!

A couple of us continued on to Paris for a coupla days, which was magical, to say the least. We were there for May Day, one of France’s lovely holidays and we even got to sort of march along with some of the unions. It was really exciting! Vive La France! Power to the people.

Anyways, here are a few selected photos…enjoy!

My website and blog are finally up!  Hooray! Hoorah! I am graduating from Art Center in a couple of weeks and then I’m off to London and Paris for two weeks, so I’ll post some stuff when I get back!
