This one is gonna be freakin' epic.  So honored to be included amongst these extremely talented art makers.

 I will post my painting very soon, for now here is a sneak peek:

MEMES

As a celebration of Gallery 1988's eight year anniversary, an incredible show based on Memes (Appropriately titled, "Memes") will take place at their Melrose gallery location on Friday, May 4th!  If you don't know what a meme is, you probably also still have a car phone and think frosted tips are cool, so lets get you up to speed here.

"ADVICE ANIMALS"

If you aren't familiar with the "advice animals" genre of memes, this page explains everything.

I am also very excited to post a second painting that I just finished, but the show is still under wraps, so stay tuned!!

Thanks for reading!

A frog from the future

Hey check out this sweet frog... from the future.

Stoked to reveal the full piece in a couple weeks.

SOCIETY 6 PRINTS

Recently, I have had a few people ask me to buy prints of some of my recent paintings for G1988.  I do not have the resources to make my own high quality giclee prints, but Society 6 does!

I am proud to announce that all of my most recent gallery pieces as well as a couple others are now available for purchase as affordable prints in various sizes through Society 6! 

Check out my store HERE.

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.

Me & Al

Here is a lovely picture of me and Weird Al, at the opening of "Is This Thing On 2" at Gallery 1988 a couple weeks ago.   He was such a nice guy in person, and took the time to meet all of his fans that came to the show.  He was also familiar with my painting on the wall and knew all the references which was really cool. Weird Al was probably the first person I ever idolized, and meeting him was really awesome.  When I told him this, he responded with a somewhat puzzled, "But you're such a great artist!"  What a humble, rad dude.

This Friday: Is This Thing On 2

IS THIS THING ON 2 opens this Friday at G1988 Melrose!!

A couple websites including FunnyorDie.com have posted a sneak preview of the show.  Check out my Larry David piece among some other amazing works included in this Friday's lineup below!

"Offering" (For Larry David)/IS THIS THING ON? 2

I'm really excited about the upcoming show at Gallery 1988 Melrose; firstly, because I got to pay tribute to a brilliant comedian whose work I am very fond of, and secondly, because the opening reception is going to be hosted by one of my childhood idols, Weird Al Yankovich!  The show is called "Is This Thing On" 2: The Weird Year, and it opens Friday, March 9th at 7 PM.  As always, it's got lots of great artists in it and you should definitely go check it out if you can.  You can read more about the show HERE.

I received a long list of great comedians to choose to depict for this show, and I quickly singled out Larry David, as 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is one of my absolute favorite shows.  If you are a die-hard fan of the show like I am, you should be able to identify quite a fair amount of jokes from the show in there.  Everyone else,  I really have no idea what you'll make of this...


Stoked to show this piece to the world next friday, and to show it to you, right here, right now:

Working hard on a painting for my next group show, but I'm going to keep it a secret until the show opens.  I will post teaser pics in the near future.  Very excited about this one.
