Arcade  (February 23, 2005)

Hey, everyone, how's it going? Some of you wanted me to let you know when I would be painting in Hollywood - and this is it! I will be doing a crazy performance, if I don't stay in Hawaii and make it back with at least one paint brush... Continue reading "Arcade"







Ron Kobayashi Trio  (February 21, 2005)

This was a hot performance at Steamers Jazz Café in Fullerton, California. Top notch musicians: BABA ELEFANTE, bass; RON KOBAYASHI, piano; and, STEVE DIXON, drums... Continue reading "Ron Kobayashi Trio"







Jennifer Vazquez  (February 17, 2005)

I first met Jennifer Vazquez at the L.A. County Museum of Art during a performance at an Art Salon event. So far i have painted to her music 3 times. It was very cool collaberating with an acoustic performance and a lot of fun... Continue reading "Jennifer Vazquez"

Earth Mother Mind Jam 15  (February 10, 2005)

Hello Donkey and Simon Stinger  (February 7, 2005)

The Hello Donkey band played at a Churn magazine art event. This is what I try to make happen when I approach bands to paint on stage to their live music as a collaboration. They can check out what I'm doing, I can listen to what they're playing, and the audience gets to experience the whole thing right before their very eyes... Continue reading "Hello Donkey and Simon Stinger"







Sasquach Sighted  (February 4, 2005)

Figure since this is my first journal entry it would be a good idea to tell and show you a little about who I am and what I do. Born in Santa Ana, California on September 23, 1966, I grew up in El Toro, California. My mother tells that I have been drawing since I was 9-years-old. I didn't feel like a real Artist until the mid 80s when I left El Toro, and moved north to Sonoma County. My uncle bought me my first airbrush and turned me on to the artworks of Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Richard Ash, Pat Ryan, Don Delew and Nat Quick. I was really inspired by their full-colour t-shirts and monster calendars, and sharp images... Continue reading "Sasquach Sighted"
