✞In Guad We Trust✞

This is one of my favorite pieces, it is for a show at the Roots Factory in Barrio Logan. It's a group show called 'In Guad We Trust', where each artist is free to give their interpretation of our Lady of Guadalupe. I've always been a fan of religious imagery and I chose to show Guadalupe as the mother of god. As we all know, the Virgin Mary and our Lady Guadalupe are the same person in different stages of her life.

This piece is even more special to me because of the process I took to make it. I had a photo shoot with my wife as Guadalupe then hand cut a rubylith of her. Then I cut a much larger stencil of her and a large pattern stencil.

EXIST X Tocayo X Cucina Enoteca

Tocayo and I had the pleasure of painting another Cucina restaurant, this time at the Irvine Spectrum. The wall is massive! Eight feet off the ground, spanning 35ft x 20ft

Lately I've been surfing a lot and every time I park at a new surf spot I lay down an "I was here" stencil. Keep an eye out for me.

'Release the Kraken' at Subtext Gallery

Release the Kraken!
A Group Exhibition Featuring Vintage Aquatic Paintings Re-Imagined by over 30 Artists
August 12th September 11th
SUBTEXT GALLERY

Opening night was Kraken at Subtext with a crowd of 300+ that came out to show their support and celebrate Subtex s 5th birthday. And live music from The Makeup Sex and tasty bites from MIHO Gastrotruck made the show that much better.

About the Show: What s the best way to celebrate Subtext s 5th anniversary? Krakens, of course! For this epic show, we ve been hunting down vintage aquatic-themed paintings for over a year now, and we ve found some gems from all over the country. Each artist was given a painting with a body of water in it, and then asked to Kraken-ize it by adding some sea monsters, hydro-creatures or aquatic beasts of their liking. The result will be nothing short of awesome.

Check out the other awesome work and photos from the opening HERE.

Here is my Canvas:

I was also given the opportunity to paint a Kraken on a 8'hx14'w wallpaper landscape! It was a daunting task but I'm completely satisfied with the outcome.
It is also for sale at the Gallery for $1800

Second, David Choe's 'Dirty Hands' chronicles his life and career from 2000 to 2007 as documented by his close friend and director, Harry Kim(1hr35min). Both are very inspirational and free.
