Spent the last 3 weeks pretty much on the road. Did my art show in Santa Monica then went to visit my folks in Canada.
Got home to my Manwolfs patch!

the wizard has no friends

Tonight I officially finished painting for my solo show. It's been an 8 month journey, long and hard yet fun and most important, satisfying...very satisfying.
I was planning on a summer 2012 show when I got an e mail from my old pal Gary at Copro Gallery asking if I would like to do a show in late Feb.
I've put together a short list of a few reference films I watch while working on the show. I'll do another blog with some albums and books but right now I'm going to celebrate with a few drinks!
Hope to see you on Saturday!

Sat. Feb. 25th at Copro Gallery Santa Monica

My friend Don Hodge made this trailer for my show. Don is a super talented guy, he does video, photos and is a stuntman in his spare time.
He worked his ass off on this and the mastodon drum video, thanks Don!

This is one of 10 custom hand made D-20 (gaming dice) for my upcoming solo show. The set is being buried in clear this week.
I have been working on these for a long time, glad to give you a sneak peak.

vantastic voyage

OK here it is, finally posting this. So I have been secretly working my ass off for the last 8 months on this art show now titled "Vantastic Voyage". 1970's Sci-Fi Fantasy and custom van mural inspired works. I have a series of van murals painted on canvas as well as some black light weirdo art. I have a few more surprises I will be posting between now and the show as well as some (work in progress) video blogs. I also have the mention the Beatniks custom pinball machine will be making it's first pubic appearance on loan from James Hetfield for the opening night. This is my first solo art show of new work. If your around pop by and say hi!

brann dailor's drums

Recently painted this drum kit for Brann Dailor of Mastodon.
My friend Don Hodge came and filmed the Candy and peeling stages, then did all the editing, thanks brother!
Thanks to Brann, Ozzy and co. (for the extra vid and photos) Frank and Mastodon.
