Building Steam with a Grain of Salt

(dj shadow)

finally half way settled into the invisible dog. trying to fix some old stuff before moving onto some new stuff. gently building up some steam..

brand new funk

"it's new, it's out of the ordinary, it's rather extraordinary, so yo bust this commentary.."

okay, much as occurred in the past month. i moved into a new apt - which has a way of bringing all other interests, activities, and responsibilities to a screeching halt. more relevant to this blog, though, is the upheaval in my art-production life. as of feb 1, i am officially a new resident of the amazing and gigantic art space known as THE INVISIBLE DOG ART CENTER in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. although i'm sharing a small corner of this creative complex, i'm VERY excited to have my own stitch of land and get back to my passion for paint pushing. check out their website and see what it's about. there will be an open studios in march, so stay tuned for details on that..



another new thing that i'm mighty excited about.. i've been accepted into the small and highly selective mural training program at the legendary City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program! i've been dying to get down with this organization for over a decade. finally i'm getting a foot in not just their door, but the public art sector as a whole. the six week program will be a hell of a commute, but i can't wait to get started. learn more about the illest public art organization in the northeast and beyond..



more details on both these projects coming soon!

Quiet Storm

(by Smokey Robinson)

"time is a master, time can be a disaster WAAOW!"

(dub side of the moon "time" by easy star all-stars)

this weekend gave way to some rooftop spray painting. finally made something of my first firework experiment back in june. all in all, i'm happy with the results, both this 4 panel "in the black/in the red" take and the smokey cityscape..








finally took control over this rickety runaway train of a painting.. when in doubt, white that 'ish out..
