Good Times at The Hammer Museum

The show at the Hammer Museum was super fun. Thanks Darren and and Camile! I met a lot of cool people, including Darren Pearson who makes silkscreen shirts (http://dariustwin.com/shop/), and Chris T-T (http://christt.com/) who brought a piece back to the UK with him. I also met Stephen Ewashkiw, a super nice guy who just recently moved out to LA and runs an Artist Management company called Blaim.

Below are a few nice shots of the show taken by Celia Lesh...

Live Art, Music, and it's Webcast...

There will a webcam set up and I will making a collaborative effort with and artist in the UK! Come witness the madness!

Live painting at Zero-Point

Live Art and Music at Zero Point
About a month ago I met a very talented and interesting woman named Emily Hay. Here's a blurb from her bio: "Emily Hay is a flutist, vocalist and pianist who extends the traditional roles and capabilities of her instruments by incorporating the complexity of contemporary classical technique with the spontaneity and experimentation of free improvisation. The result is startling interpretations of sound and intense ensemble interaction."

We got to talking and now I will be accompanying her music with live painting at this upcoming event on the 22nd at Zero Point, down town, LA. It's sure to be interesting to say the least. I'm very excited about the potential for a new and strange experience! Here's all the info. Hope to see you there for a night of artistic expression, improvisation, and inspiration.

New Work In Show

I have a piece up in the Skulls And Banners show at Solid Gallery One this weekend. What is it about skulls that's so fascinating? I feel like they are unsung heroes, providing the foundation on and in which we rest nearly all our senses and the tool we use to interpret and process them. How pretty would your girlfriend be if she had no skull to hold her eyes in place? What would it be like kissing her mouth, a hole in a skin bag?...

I'll be there kicking it with Jarrett and the gang. Stop by and check it out! Here's all the info:

New Work Up At The Loft At Liz's

Did any of you make it out to the memory show at The Loft At Liz's? It had a great turn out and I sold all three pieces. Back by popular demand, there are now four new pieces up at The Loft at Liz's. Grab them while you can!

"Audition"
Centuries from now, when the lines between man and machine are no more, the moon will still shine down upon us, and we will have to audition for the role of human being.

"Gob"
It seems that part of being alive is the struggle to stay that way. When the first microscopic being blinked to life in the primordial goo, did it know that the teeth of death were already biting at it's ankles?

"Persuasion"
The serpent wraps itself around the trunk of man's spine and whispers from the inside "Pay no attention to what is beneath your feet. Everything will be OK as long as you are on high enough ground when the floods come."

"33"
Because my eye swings from my arm
It's difficult to see
And in this jumbled mess I've lost
My extra number three
