I'll be speaking at the Getty

I've been asked to join a panel discussion at the Getty on April 17th,2008.
Led by Pat Morrison this should be a lively discussion. I'll try and wear my best hat!

Anchor Blue Interview..


(Click on the image to actually read the interview)




Anchor Blue chose to interview me for their newest "magalog" (basically a catalog that looks like a magazine). I guess they wanted a native Angeleno artist and what I thought of the City of Angels. I've never designed clothing for them so maybe they genuinely like my work. Who knows, but check it out anyways. It should be at their stores in the next month.



My Mug on a Mural?


I'm used to producing murals and getting people to model for my portrait paintings,
but I'm not used to being the "model" or have my mug in a mural.




Thats all changed now for me, Ed Fuentes, local Downtown Blogger/Photographer/Artist, has created a new photographic mural honoring Main St. and its growth over the last couple years. The mural depicts images and people that help reflect that rapid change and growth. For whatever reason, he decided that a side profile shot that he took of me over a year ago should be included in the mural. I gave him my consent to use it and now I'm forever immortalized, I guess you can say.

Nice work Ed!

The Univision tv show, "Despierta America" interviewed me down at the site of the LA Meeting of Styles murals down at the Arroyo Seco. They wanted to know what all the fuss is about and why the county wants these murals removed.

The piece airs Friday Jan.18 (tomorrow) sometime between 7-10am.
Should be a fun and informative segment.

I'll post the segment when I get a copy...
