Fellow Bay Area Street Artist and friend, Eddie Colla has been working with East Bay Express to beautify their news boxes with quality art. When Eddie asked if I wanted to do one, I jumped at the opportunity.
Before my box gets put to the mean streets it will be on display at my solo show at Sticks+Stones Gallery in Oakland. The show will open Friday, March 2.
I visited the opening for An American Language at Guerrero Gallery this past weekend. The show featured sign painter from across the country. It was incredible and very inspirational. Below are some snap shots I took. You can more information on the show and Guerrero Gallery here.
I just recently got word that one of my college mentors Dugald Stermer is in the hospital. He is very ill from a serious respiratory problem. Alexis Mahrus from the CCA Illustration department is putting together a project for him. Below is my contribution.
Dugald is a very inspiring illustrator and good man. If you don’t know his work you should check it out here. Get well Dugald.

Sky’s the Limit. Not really, I hope that there is NO LIMIT, but it’s a good saying and I thought inspirational.
Sunday at Outside Lands was a very interesting adventure. Aside from some serious drama, which I won’t get into, it was a great experience. Above is my finished piece that I worked on throughout the whole day. Below is the scene in the A.M. before about 60,000 fans arrived.
I cruised around and found these amazing structures, (below) done by my art school friend Monica Canilao and her tribe. I was told that these structure were much, much, bigger the days before. More like mansions compared to cottages they had become. They are all made out of recycled material. Monica and team had to down size the structures considerably because of liability issues and heat from the promoters and authorities. Bummer. Later on ended up hanging with Monica and her posse for a bit. Good times.
Mike Giant was representing. Here is his roller piece. Big and clean.
