Juxtapoz Art Show

Juxtapoz is having a benefit art show towards the end of the year but we're starting to get artwork now. First out of the gate was Craig Stecyk. I really like the packaging, can't wait to see what's inside.

Pandora's Box

Or more accurately, Jeremy's Suitcase.  

Los Angeles

I made a rare trip to Los Angeles for a wedding.  I went down a couple of days earlier to squeeze in a much needed four day weekend.  In that time I stopped by Billy Shire Fine Arts Gallery in Culver City to see the Shawn Barber show.  Shaw always puts together a solid collection of excellent work for his shows so you know that you will never be disappointed.  He delivered like he does every time.  His tattoo portraits have continued to evolve to include more of the environment around his subjects giving you a better feel for their personality and creating a more intimite portrait in the process.  He also included several large watercolor pieces that are equally amazing.  If you find yourself anywhere in southern california before this show goes down, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Chihuly at The DeYoung

I went and checked out the Chihuly show at The DeYoung in SF. This has been a contentious show because some criticize his art as too "commercial", personally I think of it as a guilty pleasure kind of like candy for the eyes. Definitely worth checking out.

Illustration

It's always nice to have something that you are working hard at turn out how you want it to. I did this illustration from a photo I shot of a friend's car for their car club to use on a flyer for an upcoming event. Everyone should go and check out the Saints show at the Country Club Bowl in San Rafeal, CA. on August 9th. It's always a fun time.

Artist Visit

Sometimes we have artists stop by, in this case we had a rather well known artist stop by to sign a few of his latest toys. These are some of his best ones yet.

Stereo

I did this portrait for Anne's Feature in Juxtapoz a while ago and for fun I shot a few stereo images.
