New project/adventure...

I will be flying into Denver, Colorado then driving 6hrs North through Nebraska towards South Dakota. I will be working with an organization there on an Indian Reservation. Creating an art project with a bunch of kids in need on the reservation.
After spending time there I will be driving back to Denver, CO where I'll be flying to Grand Junction, CO. I will be there for a little over a week setting-up the "In the Midst of Hope" art show I have been working on & curating with Light Gives Heat over the past couple months. I will be sure and post more info, process pics, and possible video from the gallery set-up next week!

I am packing my bags and flying out on a new adventure.

Red Bull commissioned painting...

I was commissioned by Red Bull about a month ago to paint a large 6x4ft canvas painting for a legendary pro wakeboarder Parks Bonifay. The piece was to be displayed and presented to him during his Red Bull Roast in front over 2,000 friends & fans at Hard Rock Live.


The piece came in on cables from the ceiling with a black curtain draped over it. Twenty minutes into the roast the curtain was pulled and the painting was revealed. It was pretty amazing to see the crowd and Parks cracking up and loving the framed piece.
Red Bull Toasted featured the guest of honor, Parks, the two time X-Game Gold Medalist winner, celebrity commentator & X-Games host Sal Masakela, celebrity guests including professional skateboarder Ryan Sheckler, stand up comedians Dan Levy and Tammy Pescatelli, and wakeboarding influentials 2007 Rookie of the Year award winner Adam Errington, four-time World Champion Shaun Murray and legend Zane Schwenk.

Here are a few process shots taken as I worked on the piece...

Surf Expo Mural...

I just got back in town from painting a live mural with the organization Beautiful Feet at the 2011 Surf Expo in Orlando, FL. Three days of non-stop surf, skate, apparel, ocean sports, art, and fun.

The boards were sold to spectators to raise awareness & funds for Beautiful Feet, helping bring shoes to kids in need without any. Before I could finish the mural people were buying the decks and we had to start taking them off the wall early. All the boards were sold and it was an over all success.
If you couldn't make it, enjoy the short time-lapse video of the mural...

Painting live @ Surf Expo 2011

This week on Sept 8-10th I will painting a large mural at this years Surf Expo.

The mural will be built of skate decks. An idea I have worked on before during another event. The Surf Expo is held at the Orlando Convention Center. The decks will be sold off to raise funds for kids in need through Beautiful Feet. I have something pretty elaborate planned for this piece. Stop by the Beautiful Feet / Cobian booth # 1363.
Enjoy you're behind the scene look so far...
