Well it has almost been three years since my last post. So much has happened in the meantime.

New Work
Just some new stuff I have been working on. None of it is finished. I'll post new pics of completed work.

You Are Beautiful
Sometimes it just needs to be said. Because you are you know. Yes indeed, you are my friend.

Urban Gunfighter Pt. 1
The first of the series. While the grey tones of this piece represent the lines and boundaries in which we live in between, the color represents inspiration. Some days you wake up and the sun seems to be shining a little brighter, colors are a little more vivid, and smiles seem to come just a little bit easier. I was actually going for a hint of existentialism here and Im not sure if that came through.

Kids the Trailer
Wow! I just saw this trailer while surfing around, and boy did it take me back. The funny thing is that they look so young to me now, and when I saw this originally, I was about that age.

The New One
While still in progress, im happy with the metamorphosis that this painting has taken. The graph in the background started as a piece, but afterthought won me over. The writing in this painting came to symbolize an aztec curse: visually. The grey tones symbolize the lines and boundaries in which we exisist inbetween.

The Slow Death of American Car Industry
This exhibit by Jonathan Schnipper is actually called "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle." I think it was, however, conceived before the collapse of our national auto industry. These muscle cars are on a steel track, and set to collide over a period of six days in Brooklyn at the Pierogi Boiler. I think this is powerful in the sense that a series of graphs and charts would never have the visual impact of twisted metal. I also laugh when people fall though.

Netherlands to Close Prisons For Lack of Criminals
Apparently, a shortage of criminals is causing the closing of prisons. It is possible that Belgium might even rent out the empty prisons. This is definitive proof that cliched republican rhetoric against legalization of drugs and "democratic socialism" is all true. All of it...

Reggie Watts
I am not exactly sure what this all means, but I do know that is is absolutely genius.

Rueben Margolin and kinetic sculpture
I just recently started getting into kinetic sculpture and Ruebens work is by far the best that I have come across. It is beautiful and peaceful. I especially enjoy that the inspiration for his work comes from nature- the sun, the water, and the wheat!?! What? This man is beautifully insane. Thank you Rueben Margolin. You have made me smile, and have made my day.

Boxi at Carmichael Gallery in LA
I have found my new favorite gallery. I was abandoned on the streets of LA, and suddenly found it.
I have been following Boxi's work for a couple years and was extremely glad to get the opportunity to get to see the work live. His technique doesn't just verge on neurotic- it is neurotic, but that only makes it more of a pleasure to stand in front of for hours.
The only thing that I like more than his paintings, is his own description of his artwork.
Boxi calls this work "post-apocalyptic romanticism." (Im pretty sure this is what a bachelors in art gets you.)
Evol in Berlin
Evol is mind-boggling me once again. The concept to take the texture and imprints from used cardboard boxes and turn that into the texture of the streets is so simple, and powerful. Don't even get me started on his cuts. Click of the above photos for larger ones. Check him out, if you hadn't heard of him before.
