This is the progress of an 8 foot by 4 foot collaboration oil painting done by me and fellow artist Dave Freitag..Finished pic coming soon! It'll be part of the stage backdrop for Rock The Harbor,along with 7 other painted panels.

Just Finished..

"limbo"..this was a private commission where i was told "circus and palm trees" and this is what i came up with! it actually has a deeper personal commentary about animals in the circus, since i have strong feelings about the subject.
acrylic on wood approx 9"x12"

Cover ups, and In Progress

The skull and the fish are massive cover ups..both pics are from after the 1st session. the chucky was also from the 1st session.. about to do the 3rd session soon and hopefully finish it..

pollen sucks..

But im working at a new job! Porcupine Tattoo at 231 Norman Ave #311 In Greenpoint Brooklyn! Custom tattoos all the way,so long guidos..

Ive also gotta mention, Albert Cadabras Skull Duggery & Skin Show is so awesome! Wed nights in the fortune cookie cabaret(back room of lucky chengs)..The perfect mix of burlesque,magic and sideshow..for those who dont have real normal houred jobs and can go out on school nights...

Brief Update..

I went to the opening of the Last Rites Gallery show 2 weeks ago..What an amazing show! Its still up and i Highly recommend it..Getting to see some of the art up close and personal was a real treat and im really amped to paint again..

and i just gotta say this to artists out there who may or may not know..
Guy Aitchison is soooo fucking amazing. i got the chance to talk to him today at the Philadelphia tattoo convention about painting and stuff. wow.see for yourself: HERE . There was a lot of live painting by other awesome ones like Cory Kruger, Jon Clue, Alex Grey, etc...a very long day to say the least. I got to photograph the Enigma (all blue tattooed puzzle piece guy) for my project.. hmmm what else..packed my stuff up for the last day at my job of 6 years...Moving onto a much better custom shop in Greenpoint/Williamsburg area..

So just a quickie update..im sooo tired now..more to come..

getting an early start on my dia de los muertos celebration..making a home made authentic altar, and clay catrinas figures...feeling crafty to say the least. its more or less a little break while i enter the home stretch of my big extravaganza project of 2008, ensuring i dont get burnt out when ill need the energy the most..the next few weeks are going to be ultra hectic, between a possible job move, philly tattoo convention, nyc tattoo convention, 3 more paintings to do, 7 graphic designs due, 1 sticker design due, planning a release party..its chock full of commotion and frustration, but utterly rewarding at the same time. party details and long overdue press release coming soon..
