I feel like I'm really onto something with this idea/theme.
There will definitely be more of these weird mask characters in the coming weeks.

NEW PAINTING PREVIEW

New painting I've been working on is getting close to being done.  Will post it up real soon.

POSSESSED

Here's my second piece for Gallery 27's 'Are You Afraid of the Art?' group show, opening tomorrow night at Gallery 27 Chicago.  Inspired by one of the best/most demented cartoons of my childhood, 'Rocko's Modern Life'.

AGGRO CRAG

Here's one of my two pieces for Gallery 27's "Are You Afraid of the Art?" group show opening this Friday, 11/2.  The show pays tribute to classic Nickelodeon shows from the 90's, and it's going to be totally awesome.  I was really excited to depict the famous Aggro Crag from Global Guts for this piece.    I wanted to climb that thing so damn bad when I was a kid.

Here's a preview of my 2nd piece, (can you guess which show I picked?) which I will post later this week.  Be sure to check out the show at Gallery 27 on Friday if you happen to be in Chicago!

Thanks for reading.

CENTIPEDE

Here's my piece for the upcoming 'Old School Video Games: Level 2" group show at G1988 Venice. An homage to one of the best/most frustrating games from my youth: Centipede.

Really wanted to participate in this show and nearly ran out of time, but pulled something together yesterday morning at the last minute.  Definitely the quickest piece I've ever done, but pretty satisfied with how it came out.

Hope to see you at the opening next Friday, Oct 26th at Gallery1988 Venice!

Love the invite image by Scott Scheidly.  So trippy man.

Inside the Winnebago

And finally, here is my piece for the Breaking Bad Art Project, commemorating my favorite season of the show, and my absolute favorite meth lab set up thus far, complete with chemistry equipment stolen from J.P. Wynne High School!

*The original painting has been sold, but you can now buy a print of this piece in a size of your choosing through Society 6!

**Also, check out a sweet write-up of the show with pictures of some of the works including mine via LAist!

CRAZY 4 CULT

CRAZY 4 CULT opens tomorrow night!  Very proud to be a part of this awesome show.  In keeping with their plan of global art domination, this year Gallery 1988 has moved one of their biggest annual exhibitions to NYC.  The gallery space is an impressive two floors and the show boasts some of the best work from over 200 artists.  

Previews of people's work have been popping up all over the place and everything looks incredible so far.  **Check out a sweet write up on the show and some images from Thrillist, including a sneaky appearance from my Eraserhead piece (image #10).  

If you are a New York friend (you know who you are!) please go check out the show and support G1988!  Address and details below:

My painting for the show is admittedly weird, but perhaps not even quite as strange as the movie that inspired it.  After watching David Lynch's 'Eraserhead', I was disturbed and intrigued and knew I wanted to create a piece around it.  The movie has a lot of spermatozoa floating around in it, so I focused on the sperm image as a symbol for life and death and got real weird with it.  Hope you like the painting!

AMERICAN HERO

"The American Hero" is a group show that opens next Saturday, July 7th at Gallery 27 in Chicago.  The show pays tribute to Americana in film and pop culture.  Artist Adam Devarney tipped me off about this new gallery, having recently moved to Chicago.  I believe this is only the second show they've done, (The first was a Wes Anderson tribute show) but I saw the title and was really inspired to do something for it.  If you are a Chicago friend or happen to be in the windy city next weekend, definitely go check this show out, it looks like its going to be really awesome.  Adam will be in it, and a bunch of other cool people too. Check out the show flyer for Gallery 27's address.

This piece took me a little over a full day to paint in total, but the fact that I left it alone after that is somewhat of a personal accomplishment as I have a tendency to want to overwork everything.  I didn't focus on a specific movie or piece of pop culture for this one either, which was nice.  Instead I thought on the much broader theme of violence, and came up with something I think is pretty cool.  Hope you like it.

"Untitled (usa)"

watercolor on lanaquarelle paper, 11 x 14"

You can't see very well in the picture but the frame has some nice red white and blue splatter on it.

Portraits

I did a couple portraits of celebs recently that I'd like to share with you, internet.  The first one was for my two friends, who for some reason are both obsessed with Drake.  They are girls, so... whatever.

I also really wanted to do a painting of this screenshot I took from Breaking Bad (one of the best shows ever) where Walter looks particularly insane, so here's that, too.

"Drizzy"
