CANVAS + CHAOS

I recently was asked to participate in an event within another event. For all of you who may not be familiar with Rock the Block BK . It is an urban

arts and culture series developed to bring awareness to Brooklyn’s underground urban arts renaissance, serves as Brooklyn’s pre-eminent showcase of emerging artistic talent in Brooklyn and the five boroughs of New York City. For much more information please click on the following link.

I will be part of an art installation within Rock the Block BK called Canvas + Chaos. The idea for this particular show was way to interesting to turn down. Produced by Butch Diva, a few artists and myself will be part of a live paint event. We will be painting on garments produced by Butch Diva, made of canvas, denims, and double knits materials. The finished garments will then be featured in a fashion show later on that day. Sounds pretty cool huh?

All this will be going down on August 15th starting at 12 noon. So please come and take in the scene, and support your local emerging artists (especially me of course). Keep in mind that anyone under 21 will not be admitted, and you must purchase tickets in advance. If not.. the ticket prices go up the day of the show. If you are at all interested... please click on the following link to purchase tickets.

And as always .... there is more to come. So stay tuned.

More Progress and Process...

Here is a quick couple of updates from my ongoing project. First is the process of one of my pieces from sketch to color study to near completed version. I am debating actually posting the final product. what do you think?

And as always ... more to come.

Chugging Along..

Here is a quick update. As you can see this is a comparison between the original sketch and the (half finished) final painted version of this particular piece. There are still a few bells and whistles that will be added .. actually by the time you read this the bells and whistles would have already been added. I just want to show you all as much of the process as possible with out giving away to much. Enjoy....

Progress..

The following is a portion of one of my finished pieces and the last two are the most recent additions to my ongoing project. 

"The Mischief Maker"-Arylic on Paper

If more than one of those paintings looks familiar that means you have been paying attention. Of course the last two are works in progress. These two are especially exciting because I am reacquainting myself to an old friend that I have not played with in a while by the name of Oil Paint. More to come..

PS. Constructive comments are always welcome...

A little teaser ... the sequel...

Here are two detail shots of the new pieces I have been working on for my ongoing project. There will be much more to see in the weeks to come. So stayed tuned.

A little teaser..

What you are seeing above is a sketch/color study for one of my pieces that is a part of my upcoming project. That is all the info I want to give for now though. The reason for that is because I just want to make sure all the T's are crossed and the I's are dotted before any big announcements are made. But be assured once that is done, you will read about it here first.

And to all of you that already follow my blog...I know it has been a while since my last update but, I promise to make an extra effort from this point on to update at least once a week. So check back often, because there will be more new work and exciting news to come...

Long Over due...

So it has been well over a month since my last blog entry. A lot has happened, but not all of them good . The reason for the lack of posts is the fact that some how my computer managed to straight up fail on me not once but twice. Not only that, but I nearly lost all my precious files in the process. But thankfully that did not happen. With all that computer related anguish I have been hard at work putting together some special projects.   I case you do not remember It is those same special plans I mentioned about two posts back. I would love to divulge all the details to those up  coming plans, but I just want to make sure everything is set in stone. So until then you all will just have to sit in suspense, and just just enjoy the little bit of tidbits I will be leaving along the way.
