Coachella recyle bin

 

 Coachella bin is finally all ready to go, on display tonight at LAB art gallery in Los Angeles and then off to the festival where it will be on display for both weekends.

Coachella Art bin

This Saturday my Coachella bin will be on display at LAB ART Gallery (see flyer below)

My two bins are called The Ghost of Troubled Joe. 

One is on a full size trash bin in which I painted on using Acrylics and the other is a small mini trash bin in which I decided to sculpt on, which you can see a teaser of in the photo above.

The event is one night only and the only time to see all of the bins in one space, then they will be off to Coachella! Where I will be during the second weekend.  

 

Angry Beavers

I've been doing some inking lately and just finished one based on Angry Beavers, one of my favorite show's from the 90's. I tried to do a field study in an old printmaking style. It will be part of a show in March.

As 2011 finishes

As this year comes to an end I'd like to share a few things that kept me busy over the final two month's. One was this honey badger design that I also made in to a T-Shirt

Then there were these two pieces from my group show at Tiny Stage gallery.

Two Lover's Entwined

Distraction II

As far as next year goes I plan on doing a lot more of the same, this includes finishing the Distraction series. I also plan on doing a few more sculpture's. I had a great year as far as meeting a lot of new people, doing art is not always an easy path but it is often a rewarding one. I look forward to next year and what things I will get myself into.

Bazaar @ Crewest Gallery

I have had a very fun year and met a lot of cool people at all of the opening's. So a big thank you to everyone who has came out and supported my work. But the year is not over! So come out to what should be my last group show of the year.

 So I finally got back to some good ol' inkin'. This one is for my buddy John Lopez's EP coming out soon. I always thought Krang was very creepy when I was younger so it was fun to reinvent him in sort of the way I saw him as a kid.

Art Walk live painting

This Thursday I got to paint live with my buddy/artist Alex Gardner, at Artwalk in downtown Los Angeles. It was great to have to think on the spot, and combine different styles in only two hours, a big change from the long, non-collaborative direction my paintings usually take. 

I think there will definitely be a full, extensive piece involving both of us in the future. But for now we will be collaborating in a different way. We are both involved in a small group show at tinyStage gallery in Culver City, opening November 5th, titled 'Local Color'. Facebook Event page.
