All good things come to an end… even gallery shows. This Friday from 5-9pm 111 Minna will be holding a casual closing party for the two-man show Jon Way$hak and I put together. Come by and say goodbye (or hello) to some great works. I will be hanging out so come and bend my ear. I won’t bite. Hope to see some familiar faces and new ones.
I’ll be out and about this Tuesday night doing some live drawing in SF. Great original art at affordable prices. Learn all about it right here…

It may be late notice but I’ll be out and about in the city for about 4 hours tonight getting arty-farty with a handful of other artists. If you are around, swing by!
Hey there. I just thought I’d give a heads-up about the next Sketch Tuesdays I am going to be involved in. I’ve spoken to a lot of people who have missed it in the past because of the lack of notice on my part. So, this post goes out to all of the people out there with day planners. You know who you are.
For those of you who have been to this event and for those of you who haven’t… it’s a pretty simple concept. Slam a bunch of local artists into a bar/gallery and watch them work like monkeys on typewriters. When one of the artists finishes a piece they put it on a wall to be publicly ridiculed or purchased for a small sum of cash.
I’ve sold out most of the times I have done these as I am doing fun, affordable pieces. People think I bite but feel free to come up and make requests, feed me beer or just plain shoot the shit. Your choice.
Hope to see ya there.
Where: 111 Minna Street @ 2nd St., San Francisco, CA 94105
When: Tuesday October 19th, 6:00 till 10:00.
So… I’ve taken the plunge and have decided to get a blog together (pause for applause). This will be an on going experiment. I want to use this blog dealie to show the behind the scenes of my art in various stages as well as to speak my mind and post random things as I see fit. I AM the boss after all. So, lets get it started with the first post.
Here we have a video of me doing a live painting on Feb 22nd 2008 at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. It was an experimental painting which I did based on a recent ink illustration of a monkey skull. The end results were interesting to say the least but the process was a pleasure. Welcome… and enjoy.
