Gibson

A little while ago one of my friends worked for a company that wanted artists to design guitars for them. He asked me if I would want to do one. It sounded cool to me so I went home and started playing around with ideas. Though it never got off the ground (the company shut down! talk about an unlucky break...), it was still entertaining and fun to think about. I thought an all white guitar with red roses would look pretty sweet too. The pictures you see are just photoshop comps of what my artwork could look like if I had a guitar to do it on...

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...

Skate Deck Art Show

This was one of the big projects I have been working on. Its not so much that the artwork took a really long time, I mean it took a while (about a full day per board), but it was all the set up that kept me busy. I had to figure out if I wanted to use beat up decks or new ones (thanks Brad for all the decks!), how to make the broken boards hang like they are broken, and how to appropriately hang each one of them on the wall... it took some thinking.

The subject matter for this is an idea I've had for a while, and skate boards just seemed to work perfectly for it. The gun (both are the same model) is the first single action revolver made by Colt, it was named "The Peacemaker". The rose is actually pieced together from a few different pictures (including ones from my own backyard)... You will be able to see these boards at an upcoming skate deck art show at the Rothick Gallery in Anaheim. The information is below and in my new "Events" section to the right (or go to Rothick.com). I hope you all can come, it should be pretty fun! oh and did I mention Kogi's will be there?

Peacemaker is acrylic and ink on skateboards. Each board is about 8.5" x 34"
