LIVE PAINTING FOR THE WILEY CENTER

I am really enjoying working with Dr. Pam Wiley and her LA Speech and Language Therapy Center that works with kids on the autism spectrum.  Being a parent myself of a child on the spectrum, I know how important it is for early diagnosis and therapy.  It makes a world of difference, unfortunately for people of color it's not always easy to find the appropriate support in our communities.  Dr. Wiley is a pioneer and does great work in reaching out and offering her services to the community at large.

In an effort to help fundraising for her center, I recently created a live painting which was auctioned off at the end of the night.  The event was held at Xen Lounge and was hosted by the wonderful Duane and Tisha Campbell Martin.  I met so many great people that night, enjoy the pics and quick time-lapse below.

ADOBE MAX BASH

I was invited to help guests have fun with a graffiti wall for last nite's Adobe Max Bash after party during their big creative convention in DTLA...


Paints, gloves and markers were set up...


I painted a quick logo and some motifs...


Stencils were placed about...


Then this happened!









Good times!


Too bad I wasn't feeling 100% to watch the Black Keys perform...there's always next time.

BON JOVI MURAL

I was recently commissioned by Staples Center to create a mural for rock band Bon Jovi to welcome them to Los Angeles for their sold out concert on April 19, 2013.

I integrated their iconic logo bursting out of a brick wall with a Bon Jovi piece on it. Nothing too crazy, just something fun and simple, with DTLA buildings silhouetted in the background.

Best part is I got to keep the canvas.

So if you're in the market for a 10'x14' canvas with your favorite band Bon Jovi graffitied across it, then lets talk!

Here's the final result, enjoy the pics and videos.
