Thank you to everyone who came to the show, it was a great time! New York was cold but fun, it was awesome to see all my old friends who ended up on the east coast.

If you were interested in purchasing a piece from this show, get in touch with Giant Robot New York at (212) 674-4769 | grny.net.

Back to painting tomorrow, more shows to prepare for =)

See you in New York!

03 23 10 WIP - ink and watercolor on paper - 9" x 12"

After taking a break from painting after that mad sprint for this weekend's show, I'm just easing back in with a work in progress.

Trying to do more warm colored washes - I tend to lean towards using cool colors in my work.

(blah, the colors are all messed up in the picture. too tired to color correct... If i keep going with this piece, I'll make the next picture more accurate.)

'night!

Last Friday was opening night for the Giant Robot SF Game Over III show! It was a ton of fun, lots of people came to check out the art. If you missed the show and you're the type of person who likes to live vicariously through Flickr sets, check it out here.

What's really exciting is that over the weekend all four of my pieces sold! Hooray!

Okay, back to painting.

Hyphen Live Painting!

2 comments
So this past Friday I was invited by Hyphen Magazine to do some live painting at their 19th issue release party. I was happy to accept... and it was a blast!


It was definitely a bit intimidating to take a break to grab a sip of beer, look behind me and see a big crowd of people standing there watching me silently.


So I drank more beer.


I was joined halfway through by my buddy Joe To, who helped on the last robot piece.


And then someone gave me a corn dog!


Good times.
