Coming in hot!

On June 23, 2012 I got the chance to shoot some fantastic dirt riders (bmx, mtb) at Stephen Murray's Trails is Shouting Jam.

I got a little creative with this image, but click through to flickr and you will see a select few from the jam.

Illuminated @ Nola's

I want to first of all thank all my friends for your support. It was great to see familiar faces at the show and had a fantastic time. A special thanks goes out to Carter for all of his help (love you)!

Illuminated @ Nola's Restaurant was my first show where I painted live! I was nervous to begin with but the other artist were super supportive friendly and made me feel at ease (thanks guys). So I set up started to paint and got lost in the atmosphere. The event was fantastic with live music, great food and people. Even though I had a cold painting for a evening in front of others was fun and would def. do it again. It was great to hear the response of people liking my work as I painted. Below are a few pictures taken by Alondra of the Event. Enjoy.

P.S. I have yet to finish the painting but I am def. liking its start.

What: See me paint LIVE!

I will be participating in the first of many ILLUMINATED art show. Along with some amazing artist I will be painting live and selling some of my prints for the first time.

Here is a sample of one of the pieces:



I'm very excited to show of some new pieces. Currently I've been working on a series of watercolor/illustrations of skeleton art mixed in with botanical flowers. The thought behind these pieces is to reinforce the beauty of life as it goes through its process from beginning to end.

For those in the LA Area I hope you can make it. I'm very excited to participate and can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Check out my latest design for Black Market Bikes. This is a 24x18" poster folded down to a brochure. This is the fastest print job I've done. 1 full day turnaround from creating the explosion to laying out copy and sending out to print.

Also stay tune for my first bike sticker kit and new web site design for Black Market.

Riding bikes and designing for them = Awesomeness.
