Use the force…

Hello all,

Its literally been light years since our last post. With the recent formation of a workshop/art studio, I now have some space to reconnect to the work I love. Last night I was lucky enough to go to my brother Joey’s art show @ Backspace Retail in Sonora, Ca. Seeing him create beautiful work and share it with friends, family, strangers off the street..gave me that feeling of reconnecting with the art roots inside me. So naturally I went straight one of my greatest sources of inspiration…star wars and yoda! Check out the step by step process I took to create a few pieces that are now hanging up in the workshop! Enjoy!

New York City Street Art

Here is post #2 of the NYC Series I am posting. In this edition, I looked through tons of photos that I took walking the streets of Manhattan. There is Street Art/ Graffiti/ Murals, all over NYC. Its pretty easy to see how the Art Scene in NYC flurishes, so much of it is out in the open and for all to see. There seemed to be a trend amongst alot of the graffiti I came across in NYC, more thoughtfulness and playfulness. The monkey sketch on the Left is painted on a Childrens Learning Center (grantted its on one of those metal roll up doors…the childrens learning center was in the Projects). There is alot more inspiration to come for the NYC Series so check on back! Enjoy!
