Two events...

Two event this weekend where you can catch my work.
I'll be working with TOMS shoes at the Palm Beach International boat show. I'll be painting and customizing original toms for purchase. Below is an example of a few I'm going to start off with. So stop by & say hello.


Also, if you're more South, stop by Bear&Bird Gallery. I have a piece entitled "Reluctant Astronaut" showing & for purchase in their Square Show. There is a ton of square works at the gallery. There was also a write-up on the show, including my work, in the Sun-Sentinel. Read it HERE.

Traveling Pt.1

Traveling for 2 weeks. Did too many things to fit into one blog. So here's the first part of the trip. First week: Denver in a nutshell...
Flew from South Florida to Colorado. Ate a ton of sushi then got working on the Japanese artist, Tomomi's solo show. Hanging, lighting, setting-up, etc. Opening night was packed and full of friendly faces.
Went up in the mountains. Chased antelope. Looked at several amazing small cabins. Dreamed of staying in one for awhile. Played in the snow. Visited the real South Park. Ate good food. Enjoyed the amazing views. drew several small drawings. Visited a local high school and talked about artwork with the students. Rocked out on the piano with my buddy Brad.
Went to a MLS game: Columbus vs. Colorado. Sat super close. Watched Neverending Story on Bluray! Sat around a campfire into the night with close friends. Howled at coyotes. Visited the Garden of the Gods. Climbed massive rocks. Drove through the mountains. Prayed for Japan. Very grateful for my life & my Colorado friends.
... After 6days there I flew to NYC. To be continued ...

4,410+ miles in the sky...

I leave on Wednesday for two weeks to Denver, CO then heading to New York.

I have been working on numerous design projects for an art show involving the Japanese artist Tomomi. About 3years ago my friend Brad Corrigan saw Tomomi's work in Japan. He loved the creative innocents of it all. Also the fact that she creates work "To help make sad kids happy" was a great thing. She also had never sold a piece of artwork. So he bought all her work with a promise to share her work with others! I've helped designed all the stickers, posters, logos, fonts, flyers, notepads, etc. I will also be helping set up the show for the opening March 8th at the Beacon Gallery in Denver. See you soon Denver!

The Reluctant Astronaut...

Finished a new painting entitled the "Reluctant Astronaut". The 8x8 piece is based on the Oyster Toadfish. A camouflaged bottom dweller that sits motionless and waits for it's prey. I love intricate bizarre looking creatures with an interesting story. In 2008 NASA send the fish into space to investigate the effects of microgravity on the development of otolithic organs. Since 1947, over 180 different creatures have been flown into space.

The painting will be shown & available to purchase at Bear & Bird Gallery's "Square Show" opening March 10th.

Support LGH...

There are so many non-profit organizations out there; trying to help do this or that. I've seen & even worked with my share of good hearted organizations and those who are just the opposite.
Light Gives Heat is an organization that truly has their heart and goals towards helping others. I've worked with them several times before and I stand by everything they do. That's why I am stoked to share with you guys a major upcoming US tour. LGH will be stopping in a town near you, sharing thier story, the amazing film "Moving On", and much more. To help with funds for this adventure they are trying to raise $100k during the month of February. Every dollar counts. Take a minute to read the letter, review the website, and watch the films trailer. Below is also a short video that really captures what they do. It's a major risk they are taking but I personally believe it's worth it. Join me in supporting them. Thanks guys for the continued love.
