back in the saddle.

after quite a delay in posts, it's time to get back to business. spring is here!

S.A.G.E. Collective: soul of the message

our first show as a collective has come to a close, but for those who missed it, here is an image of my wall courtesy of delve. take a video tour and see the performers from our opening here.

scratch & dirty

here are two images created as part of sedso design's "place your art here" project at the walnut room in philadelphia. they posted a great line-up of musicians to choose from, so narrowing it down was tough. finally settled on ol' dirty bastard of the wu tang clan and the mighty upsetter himself, lee "scratch" perry. both images are watercolor and spraypaint on paper...

more blacklight

blacklight is back.. this time a the smile gallery in philly... wall space is at a premium so this time around my pieces are much smaller... 8"x8" spray on canvas.

see the sketches, that became the stencils that made these paintings.

woeful gap in posts

very busy lately, prepping for shows. when free time is sparse, a lot work gets jammed in to precious few hours. here are a few links to what's been going on and hopefully a post of some new pieces that have yet to be photographed or scanned. stay tuned.
