THE ADVENTURES OF #MALETAMAN
It all started when one of my collectors asked me to paint something fun on a piece of Samsonite luggage for his trip to Miami. The piece ended up being such a big hit that we decided to document the trip and all his adventures through the eyes of "Maleta Man" (maleta is Spanish for suitcase). You can follow the journey on my Instagram account just search for the hashtag #MaletaMan !! Here's some of the adventure...
NEWLY COMMISSIONED KIDS PORTRAITS
I was recently commissioned to create these fun and colorful kids portraits by a man who wanted to surprise his wife with a unique birthday gift!

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.
