9/18/10 Live painting, sketching, signing, print etc. SF! 1pm-?

Crap. I had no idea what to title this post so I decided to make it as ugly as I could. So, the short of it is this…

This Saturday I will be hanging with my buds at Zero Friends at their 2-month pop-up-shop in SF. It’s located right by Upper Playground. I’ll be there with my little buddy, Alex Pardee. We are going to collaborate on a painting in the store for all to see. I will also be signing people’s foreheads and doing sketches.

As if that wasn’t lame enough I am also going to be releasing a limited signed/numbered print of my piece, Hamburger Hill. I was at the shop yesterday to approve the piece (monocle and all) and it looks great. They will be limited to 50 and selling for $50 so I’m sure they will move pretty fast. So come by and say hey. The fun starts at 1pm and ends when I get cranky and leave.

The prints are 17″ x 22″ Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag.

If you can’t make it to the shindig or are in prison you can buy the signed/numbered “Hamburger Hill” print on-line right HERE!

This is a pre-signed shot but ya get the idea…

As an added bonus I figured I’d show a pic of Alex and I (another rare pic of me minus my beer prop) from our Sparks Tour a while back at the Spawn/Todd McFarlane headquarters in AZ.

BOSTON!

We put our stink all over Boston last weekend. This was the second of three spots on the Sparks Ignite What’s Next Tour. Sam Flores and Alex Pardee were my pARTners in crime. In seemingly typical fashion we came, we saw, we drank, we head-butted, we arted… we enjoyed. Here is a video of the adventure along with some photographic proof… Phoenix is next… 10/04/08… get ready…

The tightest crew in town… L to R: Sam, Short Alex, N8, Tall Alex, Mickey

Apparently Sam has nightmares of Alex and I. A dinky shot of the end result…

ATLANTA!

Hey guys,  I just got back from Atlanta. I’m one of the three art clowns on the 2008 Sparks Ignite What’s Next Tour. The short of it is to get three artists together (Sam Flores, Alex Pardee and that N8 guy) and go to various cities and promote Sparks while finger painting live. The first part of the three-part tour was Atlanta and damn is that place hot. People were super cool while we crashed their city on a mission to have fun and make pretty. Here is a small slice beginning with a video and followed by some pics. BOSTON… I’ll kick yer ass this weekend…

 

Sam Flores, Alex Pardee and N8 Van Dyke land in Atlanta (I’m clearly the teacher helping the kids cross the street)…

Time to teach the kids a pool lesson…

We got lost on the way out of the pool hall and ended up at a strip club called the Claremont Hotel…

This guy got a very sad lapdance and ran off to take care of business in the parking lot right afterward…

Sam get’s face deep in Blondie…

Sam with some well hidden Claremont nips… 

The three artists bid “Good Night” to The Claremont…

Time to get some extra supplies at the hardware store. Here’s a shot of my helper, Alex, and I. I rode that thing through the store for 20 minutes and nobody said a thing…

A very small sample of our weapons…

Time to make a mess…

My first mess…

Sam, Alex and N8 saying later to Atlanta. Boston… yer next…

 

 

 

 

Coming to a city near you (if you live in Atlanta, Boston or Phoenix)…

Hey all,

Looks like I’ll be skipping out on the day job, freelance and life all together to do some live painting. The live mural tour is being sponsored by Sparks and Upper Playground. Buy this tall chimp a beer and watch what he can do. Here’s a lookie at my add for the events…

And here is a link to all the details…
