In conjunction with my latest show, I will be releasing a new screen print. It is a hand pulled 4-color screen print with a final hand drawn layer making each one very unique.

Balance
18 x 24 in.
4 color screen print with paint marker
110 lb toned paper
signed edition of 25

These will be available at the show for cash and carry and if I can, I hope to save a few to make available for online purchase.

The finish line to both shows is right around the corner. It’s hard to believe 8 weeks blew by so fast, but looking at the amount of work, it’s even harder to believe I created everything from concept to conclusion in that same amount of time. It’s been quite the grind but the title says it all…Tomorrow is Never Promised.

More shots from the studio…

Big thanks to my boy Sergio for coming through to help me bring things to a close. Be sure to listen to him and his crew, Grown Kids Radio. Holding it down.

Sneak peek of the screen print series I will be releasing at both shows. It’s a 4-color screen print on toned paper with a hand drawn 5th layer. No two are the same. Only 25 made. Yup.

The time is almost here for me to unveil an all new body of work for what will be my largest solo show to date. Filling two San Francisco galleries, the first installment will debut at Fabric8 on September 2 with the second installment at White Walls the following week on September 11.

All in all, I have created 24 original works — mostly paintings, but I am throwing in a few surprise 3-dimensional works as well as 2 site-specific installations. The opening nights will also be a chance to pick up a screen print series I am producing specifically for the show in a real low edition of 25.

I will save you the artsy talk and let you experience the works on your own, but for more info about the artwork please visit these links from the respective galleries. Be sure not to miss this one! Cheers.

With just a little over a week to go till showtime…order is finally emerging from chaos in the studio. With just a few paintings left to wrap up, so far everything I have set out to do has been accomplished. Here are some more shots to give you a feel…

I’m terrible at keeping up with everything I do, but finally after almost an entire summer’s wait…I bring you some great new t-shirts for both dudes and ladies under my private label, New Leaf Collection. Scroll down to see them all. Click images for more info.

Also for being so patient with me (and if you happen to have read this far), I am offering 1 FREE Notebook for the first 5 orders of 2 shirts or more!!

You don’t get to pick which notebook you’ll get, but rest assured each one is filled with assorted recycled papers (including music sheets, textbook pages, sticker paper, and transparencies) and bound with old book covers with random screen printing on the inside.

Peep the technique. These are definitely what the pro’s use.

More shots from the studio…keeping it flowing.

Excited to start really laying down the paint on my next body of work. The long days in the studio I don’t mind much except for the fact it gets harder and harder to get out of my head when I’m done for the day. Without revealing too much too soon here a are a few shots from in the studio as I prepare for my next solo show, Tomorrow is Never Promised.

Just got back from a quick weekend trip to the NYC area to paint live for this years Electric Windows event that takes place north up the Hudson in a town called Beacon. A most memorable experience to say the least.

The home to a local family that moved up from New York City where my girlfriend and I stayed.

Building, painting, constructing, burning, drilling and wiring in the studio all week with my assistant Alex during his last days. Never been more productive than these last 3 weeks working with him. Thanks again Alex!

Now off to NYC for some business & pleasure…but more pleasure than business. Be back to paint after a few much needed days off.

By tomorrow I will be in NYC to see some quick sights before I head up north to the beautiful town of Beacon where I will be painting live for this year’s Electric Windows event. It’s an awesome concept with a great lineup every year. It should be nice to step out of the dust and paint fumed studio for a bit to breathe in the fresh air. Check the site for more details >>
