The project is complete…and it will slowly emerge on the internet scene sometime next week. Below are some screenshots from the behind the scenes video edit provided by the video team.

We all worked long and hard on this one to provide you with something very new and unique. Be on the look out!

It measures 6 feet wide — features metallic line work of both SF and NY district maps and contains 2 lights in the back for that added glow effect. This was a fun piece to create and with every project, I learn new techniques that apply back to my fine art practice. Win!

Check out some photos from my last event, METEOR, where a couple of friends and I pulled off an improvisational installation for all to witness. Needless to say, it was an amazing time — stay tuned for the next strike.

Commissioned by TaskForce and in collaboration with WereHaus the video is about having confidence in the New Year. I will do my best to hold back the surprise, but we are all damn excited to release this piece to the world! Stay close.

Here are just a few photos from early production…
