Fun at The Derby

We had a great time at The Derby last month. Many different kinds of artists and bands performing, and The Derby is a cool spot. Many thanks to Ivy Love from Code Carnivals for putting on the show and to Kasondra Komadina for the bitchin' photographs.

Sexy models getting a new coat of paint.


This is a painting that one of the artists, Jamie Kivisto, was working on. It's hard to see in the photo, but those are pieces of sushi, with human body parts in them. Tre cool.

Fun at Intergalactic

We had a great time at Intergalactic at The Mountain Bar last month. Here's a pic of my most popular piece from the night (I had 4 offers on this thing, I guess feather headed elephant snakes are in). Also included is a picture of artist Aida Robles. She brought this gigantic piece of wood and got to work. She does amazing pencil portraits. Check out her website at http://aidathegreat.com/.

Many thanks to Elle 7 for putting the show together!

Pics from Dreamtime show

Here are some pics from the Dreamtime show last weekend. The space was dimply lit with projection on several walls, strange shapes hanging from the ceiling, and group art projects on the walls. The atmosphere was very laid back and inviting. We had a good time and I met some very cool people. Emily Hay was wonderful as usual with the flute and vocals, and Carey Fosse demonstrated his impressive skills on the guitar. I also met Anna Homler. She performed before us and it was a pleasure to watch her work her auditory magic with a plethora of noise making devices and her unique vocal stylings. The whole show was a blast. Thanks Emily and Zero-Point Space!

Masquerade Show at The Derby

This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Live music, live painting, drinks, nude models, Paris Hilton. All at The Derby ( 4500 Los Feliz Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90027 ) Map. I will be doing some live painting there myself. Come out and say hi!

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...

This Friday, the 21st, I will be painting live at Intergalactic at The Mountain Bar in China Town. This is something that I have done several times before, but this time, there is a twist. There will a webcam set up and I will making a collaborative effort with and artist in the UK! Come witness the madness!
