Reclaimed pt.7

One day while in Florence, my friends and I decided to jump on a train and see where it would take us. It sounded really exciting. First we stopped off at a small town to get some local wine, but the winery was closed. Then we got here. It was a big city with a big church built on the side of a hill. In fact most of this city was built on the side of the hill and had really steep streets going up it. We hiked up to see what we could see. I saw this and the rather large church. Afterward we thought the trip was kind of a waste, but I recently changed my mind because I just some art out of it...

Somewhere in London... Reclaimed pt. 6

I took a photo of this while wandering around London. I believe I was on my way to St. Paul's Cathedral, but I could be wrong. It was an interesting place because among all these tall buildings was this pit where trains emerged from underground tunnels. I spent some time trying to find it on google maps, but i havent turned anything up just yet... if you happen to recognize this place let me know.

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...

Reclaimed pt.5

Here are some smaller pieces I made for my reclaimed series. I pulled these from photos I took while traveling through Europe. The lamp post is London's East side and the cloud is from the sky. They will be used to fill in gaps in areas and add more interesting sizes to the collection. Nothing really exciting but itll be worth it in the end... trust me.

From East Side is acrylic and ink on cardboard. 10.5" x 3.75" Rain is acrylic and ink on cardboard. 3.25" x 5.25"

Reclaimed pt.3

Yet another beautiful piece for my reclaimed series. It took me three days to do this one because of tendonitis in my wrist. Frustrating, but patience will only make my artwork better... right?

Krochet Kids

This is another piece I made for my friends at Krochet Kids Intl. They just moved into a warehouse and the walls were looking pretty bare. It should be getting put up soon, but at the moment one of them (brad!) stole it to decorate their bedroom...

If you havent heard of the Krochet Kids, they are a group of guys that have started working with Ugandan "child mothers" (women who are raped by soldiers to bear children for the war), teaching them how to crochet beanies. They then take these beanies back to the states and sell them, giving the women all the profit. Its a really cool thing. Check out their website, buy some beanies, and help a really good cause. They are also having an art show this Thursday; the flyer is down below:
