Interview by Big Al, the Gal for LA Cityzine

I guess I never got the link to this interview back in February but I just
accidently stumbled upon it tonite while surfing the web...

Its written in a not-so traditional way, but overall captures
the flavor of that interview.

thanks big al, the gal!

Honored by the HeArtproject!

Last Thursday night I was honored by the HeArt Project for the work I've done with youth in LA through their great program.

I was honored alongside councilwoman Jan Perry and architect Ted K. Osborn

It was such a special event. Thanks for everyone who attended and contributed their art and time to such a special cause.

Here's a nice link about it on Culture Serve

Here is a blog from someone who attended...I guess it truly was an inspiring evening!

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!

Backyard Painting in the OC

Here's a little video I made of me rocking a garage wall for a client, somewhere in the middle of Orange County.

Enjoy!
