LIVE PAINTING AT FUNKAPALOOZA





My art band UNIFICATION THEORY (myself, Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca, and Overton Loyd) painted LIVE on stage with headliners George Clinton and PFUNK at the FUNKAPALOOZA Concert at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, CA last Friday nite 3/23/12.





As usual we created live, spontaneous, mash up works of art with markers, spray cans, and inks. The pieces are created to the music as its being performed and its what moves us.






Then of course we gave away the pieces to lucky fans that were in attendance at the sold out show.






I never thought giving away the art during the concert would stir up such a crazy frenzy that literally had security holding people back from jumping on stage to get their hands on some art!






Sir Nose in the house!



Thanks to Overton and George Clinton for letting us do this again! 
Special shout out to the homie Baz for clicking away on my iPhone to get all these action pics!



Was a great nite of art and FUNK!

So we started this live art band a year or so ago...
Unification Theory.

The core members are myself, Overton Loyd (Pfunk artist), and Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca.

We do live collabo mash up paintings in a jazzy style while bobbing our heads to the beats of
Dj JoyFanatic and other guest musicians.

It's nothing but a party when we do this and some how LACMA is tapping our shoulders to funk
up the spot tonite!
