LA MADE - GRAFFITI ARTIST PANEL

Graffiti Artist Panel:
Turning the Ephemeral into the Permanent | LA Made

Panelists: Chaz Bojorquez, Petal, Zoueh, Aiseborn
Moderators: Man One and Scott “Sourdough” Power
Date: Sunday, September 30, 2018
Time: 2:00pm to 3:30pm (followed by book and print signing)
Location: Central Library @ Mark Taper Auditorium
*Get your free tickets via Eventbrite

This panel will discuss how contemporary Los Angeles graffiti artists have gone from creating temporary works of street art to permanent and important “marks" on society. Through the publishing of their work in books, the installation of permanent murals, and original canvas works collected by both private individuals as well as important institutions, graffiti art has become an art form that exists beyond the short-lived nature of street tags.

The artists on the panel will share their unique experiences and the evolution of their work toward becoming a lasting tradition. The panel will be curated by myself and Scott "Sourdough" Power (Crewest Studio founders and hosts of the Not Real Art podcast) and will feature graffiti artists Chaz Bojorquez, Petal, AiseBorn, and Zoueh.

Following the panel discussion, I will be doing a book signing of my first picture book, Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remixwhich is currently receiving national awards and accolades for its colorful and original illustration work. Books, prints and other merchandise will be available by the other artists as well.

NOT REAL ART PODCAST

In case you haven't heard, I'm a officially a podcaster now!

NOT REAL ART is the name our show and I'm happy to be co-hosting it with my long time friend and collaborator, Scott “Sourdough” Power.

If you’re looking for a high brow art show streaming from an ivory tower, this ain't it.

But, if you prefer your culture served raw and unfiltered straight from the front-lines, NOT REAL ART is just for you! We are a pro-artist and anti-art-snob show. We celebrate artists as we call out the B.S. in the art world. We're having a great time recording these episodes (as you will hear) and we will start adding guests to the show very soon!

Most episodes are only 15-30 minutes long to make it easy to binge on. 
So have a listen and please like, share and comment, we love to hear the feedback!

COMMERCIAL FOR PPG PAINTS

Enjoying my 15 seconds of fame! 

Some of you may have recently seen my mug and mural featured at the beginning of this commercial spot for PPG and YES it was all hand painted using actual PPG TIMELESS exterior paints! 

*No aerosol spray cans were hurt in the creation of this mural! Lol.
