This summer I had the opportunity to create a wonderful mural to honor my lovely parents. Something I've been wanting to do for a while now. It is definitely one of my highlights of the year so far. Thanks to Estrella Jalisco and Thrillist for sponsoring this project and documenting it in such a great way. Check out the video, in depth interview, and pics below.

I was recently interviewed on Modern Art Blitz! Hosted by well known LA art critic and gallery owner Mat Gleason. It was a fun conversation and I'm really happy to share it with you!
On April 3oth I curated a unique Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) inspired exhibition at Plaza de la Raza in Lincoln Heights. The event was incredible! Antonio Pelayo (Pelayo Productions) did a great job producing this event which included not only our art exhibit but also live lucha libre, film screenings by Hola Mexico Film Festival, great music by Dj Sloepoke and by El Conjunto Nueva Ola, lucha fashion show and so much more. Here's a quick video to give you a taste of what it was like that night.
Below is a slideshow with some of the paintings from our exhibition.

A few parting shots from that evening:
As many of you know, I've been a longtime supporter of the Friends of the LA River. This coming weekend they are hosting their big gala, FANDANGO.
I will be there painting an 8'x8' live mural that will be sold off in 64 individual panels! I will also have other available art up for auction.
Below is the flyer and a link for more info if you're interested in attending or simply supporting the great work that they do for our LA River.
I leave you with my quick tag video that we've been using on social media.
