I was in Puerto Rico for a bit and was fortunate enough to get around a good bit and paint with a bunch of cool cats. Here's a few pics from what I saw. Big thanks to Unik, Bad 6, Flavor One, Q-One, Mr. Dad, Hel 9 and everyone who showed love.

Here are some pics of the work I did for my show at Anode Gallery this past September. I really want to thank everyone who came out and made the night a huge success. I would also like to thank my good friend Analu Lopez for the pics.

The studio the day after the show.

Jova's show. 100 pieces for $100.00. There was so much to look at, you really had to be there to take it all in. You'll be seeing more from this guy.

Ninja always helps me with prepping my materials.

My former professor and friend Mario Castillo had an open studio showing of some older, and newer works on the good 'ol Eastside of Chicago. He really is one of my favorite artists. These acrylic paintings are phenomenal. So many layers! See more at www.mariocastillo.com, or www.mariocastillo.net.

NY in February

2009-05-11T19:57:00.001-07:00

New York bound with my homie DJ Revel.

The homie Justin who made this stay in ny possible. Thanks again.

Hit up the Mars 1 show @ Jonathon Levine. Surpassed my expectations.

De Fara Pizza. Said to be the best in NY. It was pretty good, soaked in olive oil. Not better than Chicago deep dish. Sorry.

The show I was in at Art Raw. There was a line to get in the elevator. Way too many people, unfortunately it was hard to see the work with so many people there.

Checked out Heartland Brewery in Manhattan. Pretty good stuff.

Our host with the most, Jackson.

Any beer fan can appreciate this natural occurrence.

Its impossible to go to New York and not have an awesome time. We tried some great beers, sampled some pretty dam good pizza, shopped for sneakers, wrote our names on stuff, and walked so much that we lost a combined total of twelve pounds.

Warning, if you're not part of the Bilderberg Group, this film may get you a little sad. . Don't give up people, this stuff isn't new. I don't care what anybody says I still think Obama's a cool ass dude, just don't forget that someone else is making your decisions for you.....

Here are some pics from "Killing the game", a show i was in along with some homies. Exhaust and I drove down for the opening. Was a good time. And if you don't know who these artists are, check them out, these Cincinatti guys got their work on point.

Friday Night Live!

2008-12-08T19:16:00.001-08:00

Story of the night: Turns out Denise Barba's dad and my dad were both in the same band back in the day. Both original members of Los Horoscopos. By coincidence, we both had work in the show. Her dad, my dad, and myself all have the same name. And the story actually gets more suspiciously coincidental, but i'll stop here because its just kinda weird. Really nice girl, and great work.

David Cove Gonzalez always coming proper...

as you can see, there was plenty to look at...

I hooked up with my old homies from highschool and checked out their car club picnic.

Artropolis...
I walk outside on saturday morning on my way to artropolois, to find one of our walls getting removed. This wall rode for about 4 years. It was a shitty way to start my weekend.

On a sunday afternoon

Here's the most recent, with Exhaust on the character...

Hello My Name is Chicago

2008-04-03T18:35:00.000-07:00

In case you were one of the million people who didn't have the patience to wait in line to get into the gallery, or if you were one of the people inside the gallery who couldn't see any of the work because there were so many people, here's a closer look. Its all paper on masonite panels.

Vimby did a little something on the show too...

Returns

2008-04-03T17:54:00.000-07:00

I'll be showing a piece at Get Knifed Gallery which will have two openings. The first on April 11th, 2008 in co ordinance with the second Friday openings in the Chicago arts District. The second on April 25th, 2008. The same weekend as Artropolis, Art Chicago, and a bunch of other openings. There will be a shuttle bus running people from Merchandise Mart down to Pilsen, so check it out. All the work in the show was created around the theme of things that return.
