A Moose, A Bear and an Assortment of Weapons

All  new pieces created for the group show 'Trash' that just ended last week. Each piece was originally part of a shelving unit found in a dumpster.  Each shelf was removed, stained, and paper was applied to the background before painting the image on the top.

More shows at Hold Up Art to be announced soon...

California Black Bear
.357 Magnum
North American Moose
A Grouping of Arrows
are all ink and paper on repurposed wood shelving, various sizes.

National Homeless Youth Awareness Month

I created these posters for YouthHope in Redlands, CA to help promote National Homeless Youth Awareness Month. They will be placed all over the city of Redlands and the surrounding area to help raise public awareness. They also have a hotline number for homeless youth to call to get help. If you dont know about YouthHope, I posted some of the information from their website below:

YouthHope is a non-profit organization that helps homeless youth in Redlands, CA receive the medical, dental, and eye care they need. They also help them get into schools and job training programs. YouthHope feeds an average of 50 youth every Tuesday and Thursday who would go hungry without their help. 

Visit the YouthHope website

The best way you can help YouthHope and the homeless teens and young adults in Redlands is through donations.

Feel free to print these out and distribute them. The full size I uploaded on Flickr is just right for 8.5" x 11" posters. 

Pigeon Point Lighthouse

This is Pigeon Point Lighthouse, just south of Half Moon Bay in California. Its over a century old, and although updated with modern equipment, still aides in navigation. You cant go inside it since a large chunk fell off of it a few years ago, but you can stay at a hostel on the grounds. Its definitely a cool little piece of California history and that is why I chose it. I was commissioned to do this lighthouse after a friend of the crazy Martinez family saw the lamp post they got from me last month (from Eastside). I was happy to do it and I think it turned out pretty cool...

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is ink and acrylic on cardboard. 7.6" x 14"
