First of all: I have a bunch of new vinyl pieces going up for about a month at GCS Clothing‘s gallery in Santa Ana starting tomorrow (6/5/10). Speaking of tomorrow: It’s the Santa Ana Art Walk in the Santa Ana Arts District. I’ll be there to scope that scene out.

Secondly: I broke my ankle (because I suck at walking) on May 2nd so I have a lot of time on my hands since I’m now temporarily house-bound. Now there isn’t an excuse for me not to update this thing on a regular basis. I have tons of images of new pieces that I need to upload onto this site so the updates will be coming VERY SOON!

I don’t currently have internet access at home so I haven’t been updating much. My bad. I’m participating in a few holiday shows and whatnot so here’s the low-down:

Cactus Gallery’s 4th Annual Tiny Treasures show is going on right now. It’s the perfect place to holiday shop for affordable original art.

This Friday (12/18) The Hear Gallery & Automatico are having their HOLIDAY HEROES food and toy drive at Senor Fish in Little Tokyo. I don’t know which other artists are participating, but I expect to see a lot of good stuff there. I’m updating from work and Facebook so blocked so I can’t get to a flyer, but I’ll post a flyer ASAP!

The event that I’m most excited about is the NYE shin dig that Hear Gallery, Automatico and Blow Up LA are putting together.

Peep this shit:

It looks like Saturday is going to be a pretty crazy day for me. I forgot to mention that I’m going to be participating in the Downtown El Monte Art Walk in addition to Summer Voyage. Come by and take a look at what some talented local artists are currently up to.

Hopefully I’ll have some time to take a nap between events so I can recharge a little.

The Masquerade Ball was crazy! The Hear Gallery crew always puts on great events. Speaking of The Hear Gallery and their great events, I’m going to be involved in something else that they’re putting together. Peep the info below.

This Saturday (1/10) I’ll be heading out to Eagle Rock for the opening of Cactus Gallery’s new show, Bird Is The Word.

I lagged and got involved too late to make it onto the flyer. Sometimes that’s how I roll.

This Saturday I’ll be heading out to Eagle Rock for the opening of Cactus Gallery’s new show, Tiny Treasures. It’s a show full of inexpensive and small original pieces of art so stop in and get some holiday shopping done. I’ll have either 2 or 4 pieces up there.
