This exhibition is both satirical and earnest in its exploration of the contemporary American moment.

The artists participating in ‘American Made’ represent diverse artistic perspectives and styles. Prairie Prince is a greatly heralded musician who is also a very talented and achieved fine artist. He will be displaying several paintings, as well as performing live with several of his local bands. Lucien Shapiro will be displaying some stunning found object, mixed media sculpture. There are also several talented graffiti artists involved in the show, that have a keen understanding of fine art as well as their prolific street art. Rich Colman and several other very accomplished fine artists will also be displaying their version of ‘American Made’ themed creations. The opening reception of this exhibit was such a great success that Cassel Gallery has asked the participating artists to create some new pieces to display at this closing party event.

Participating artist include:
Prairie Prince, Reyes, Rich Colman, Steel, Chez, Margaretta, Luke Stewart, Magdalena Gross, Jurne, Andy Stattmiller, Lucien Shapiro, Amandalynn

I spent this past weekend with some very special ladies, creating, designing and adorning the Goorin Bros. Melrose Hat Shop.

GoorinBrothers in cooperation with the Cassel Gallery is proud to present ‘Adorned,’ a new art exhibit created by Amandalynn, Renee Fontana, and Erin Ashford. This collective of women has been working and showing together for several years, and has become a strong unit of inspiration and creativity. Each lady represents a different field of artwork. Amandalynn is a fine art painter, muralist, designer, and conservator, whose based out of San Francisco. She has been curating and exhibiting artwork in galleries and venues worldwide for many years. Amandalynn’s main subjects are seductive yet secretive women, adorned with an array of different accessories and stories. Her work has been greatly enhanced by her fellow artists, especially Renee Fontana and Erin Ashford.

ReneeFontana has been working as a dedicated floral designer and consultant for over 15 years. She has a passion for art and design, and has worked with Amandalynn on several interior mural installations and gallery shows, complimenting the artwork with floral sculpture. Passion coupled with experience has helped Renee deliver innovative arrangements that emphasize the symbolic relationship between art, nature, and design.

ErinAshford is a photographer and artist, trained as a still documentary photographer. She’s inspired by the constant evolution of women historically and culturally, and continues to empower people through candid and staged photography. Through stunning imagery of live performances, behind-the-scenes portraits, and her artistic creations, Erin is continually evolving. Erin Ashford and Amandalynn have shown artwork alongside each other for several years. Erin has an ability to capture the female form in a strong and sensual way, bringing to light something universal.

These three women have a long-term dedication and passion to all their creations. This newest exhibit, ‘Adorned’, is an exquisite display of a combination of all their talents. Please join them in celebrating their exhibit, hosted by Goorin Bros. Hat Company, opening on Saturday, November 19th, 2011 from 7-10pm at the Melrose Goorin Hat Shop in Los Angeles, CA.

'Spectrum' art opening at Fabric 8

2011-10-13T19:25:00.000-07:00

I recently submitted my painting, 'Time', for a juried group exhibition of works addressing color at Fabric 8 Gallery .

Exploring the spectrum of color as well as a spectrum of subject matter – from geometry and texture to illustration and portraiture – the show covers the breadth of fabric8’s program while also featuring artists that haven’t shown there regularly. The jury consisted of several painters that the gallery works with frequently.
Simultaneously, new pieces will be introduced in the sculpture garden from artists Calvin Ma, Shadoe Delgado, and Erika Sanada.

Spectrum will be on exhibit from October 14 through November 7
The opening reception will be held on Friday, October 14, from 7PM until 10PM.

For, Against, and the Truth

2011-10-10T00:50:00.000-07:00

I was invited by Stormie Mills , an amazing artist and friend of mine, to join in on a group show that he is curating at the Linton and Kay Gallery in Perth, Western Australia. Each artist was asked to depict three different parts of their 'self'. The first perspective being how you see yourself, another being how you think others see you, and an honest account of yourself, a 'naked' truth of who you are. Obviously a difficult challenge for an artist, I chose to use one of my favorite models to express the emotions of these three different states of being. Each piece is painted in acrylic and varnish on antique mirrors. I am very honored to have been chosen to be a part of this show and to show amongst such talented artists.

Opening night is Thursday, October 20, 2011 at Linton and Kay Gallery

participating artists include:
Darren Henderson (Melbourne), Jade Palmer (Melbourne), Amandalynn (San Francisco),
Jaybo Monk (Berlin), John Fekner (NYC), Jordan Seiler (NYC),
Kenton Parker (Los Angeles),
Marco Grassi (Milan), Matt Doust (Perth), Remi Rough (London)

Rememberance by Amandalynn

2011-09-29T11:03:00.000-07:00

This is part of a project being done to memorialize one of the most influential artists of my life...

A beautiful memory and a constant inspiration is what Kazu will always be to me. He was a huge influence on me during my schooling at the Academy. I took Kazu's class three times because he was someone who really took the time to understand an artist, their technique, and ultimately their passion. I came back one time as an alumni to sit in on Kazu's class, I wasn't in the best place in my life, and somewhat frustrated in my position as an artist. Kazu introduced me to his class, and referred to me as 'Prolific', which was shocking to me. However, ever since that moment, I knew that if someone as prolific as Kazu would say such a thing about me, that I had to live up to it, so I'm trying...and I will never forget this wonderful artist, teacher, and friend.

Luscious Lucci

This is one of my newest pieces, 'Luscious Lucci' , she was painted for an upcoming show at the Benjamin Benjamin Gallery in Portland, OR. The entire show is dedicated to Susan Lucci.

Jarritos Flavor City Contest Winners

2011-09-14T10:47:00.001-07:00

First Place- Oscar Meza

Age: 28

Hometown: San Diego

Occupation: Student

Website: www.oscarmeza.wordpress.com

“What inspired my piece started off as some sketches on a pad. Being that Jarritos was founded in Mexico, I wanted my illustration to reflect that authenticity. It almost felt obvious to incorporate a Luchador. I wasn’t sure who I was drawing at the time; but ironically, some of my friends said that the character kind of looked like me.”

“Wining this competition has made my year. It is such an honor to have been chosen amongst the other great competitors. I feel very lucky and humble to have won. Winning the year supply of Jarritos has made my belly smile, and having my art published has fed my artistic ego. But to my surprise, the best part of winning thus far is making my friends and family proud!”

Second Place- Zofia Bogusz

Zofia Bogusz was born in Poland in the '80s. She lives and works in New York City, where she received a degree from the School of Visual Arts. Zofia regularly exhibits her art, and enjoys doing freelance illustration.

Zofia paints women against bold and dramatic landscapes, in which natural elements such as water and sunlight color the dynamic between the individual and the external world. She strives to render the balance of effortless beauty and strength that exists within the female form. Zofia's paintings are inspired by individual histories, memories, and experiences. Pop culture imagery also plays a crucial role in her work, creating a grounded sense of the everyday.

Zofia's mediums of choice are oil paint, graphite, and colored pencils on hand-cut wood.

Third Place- Geraldine Said

Geraldine Said is from Mexico City and has worked at Grey Mexico as the Art Director. Currently she is living in Los Angeles and helping her husband with his boutique Ariane. Since moving to Los Angeles, Geraldine has been doing freelance work. When she isn’t working she loves immersing herself in photography and her charity organization H.A.T (www.facebook.com/hatgives).

Conserving Caro

2011-07-11T08:44:00.000-07:00

Last week, I joined up again with Tracy Powers Objects Conservation team, and Lucien Shapiro, to restore a Caro sculpture in Healdsburg. The clearcoat layer that had been applied several years ago and in several layers was failing and creating a white/chalky appearance all over the piece. After many, many insane hours of using very strong stripping agents and scraping we managed to remove most all of the coating. We will be going back to seal the piece later this summer. It was once again, a very strenuous and tedious job, but had a great crew to help power through....

Conserving Louise Nevelson's 'Ocean's Gate'

2011-07-01T10:24:00.000-07:00

I just finished up a big project yesterday with Tracy Powers and her conservation crew. We cleaned up, patched up and refinished Louise Nevelson's sculpture, 'Ocean's Gate', which is on display at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. It was a tedious process, but with help of Tracy and her crew, it turned out to be a success. We also had great help from the de Young conservation staff, led by Lesley Bone. For a complete break down of the process check out the de Young blog http://deyoung.famsf.org/blog/conserving-louise-nevelson-s-ocean-gate

LA Art

2011-06-20T11:04:00.000-07:00

I just got back from a great weekend in LA. I started off Friday at LA Art Machine by finishing up a piece that I started during the Hollywood Art and Design walk a couple of months ago. I got to work in their great gallery space which hosts an amazing wooden sculpture by Gustavo Godoy. On Saturday I went with my LA fam to check out the 'Art in the Streets' exhibit at the Moca, and was blown away. Then ended the weekend with a Sunny father's day BBQ. All in all, a great weekend.....

Kazu Sano

2011-06-08T09:11:00.000-07:00

Kazu Sano was a truly prolific and inspirational man, artist, teacher and friend. I just found out that he passed on in his sleep last week. I was so fortunate to have been influenced by this great man while studying at the Academy of Art in SF. There is always that one particular teacher or person who sees you differently than all the others, and for me that was Kazu. I studied figure painting with him, and was so inspired and understood by him, that I took his class three times. Knowing someone such as Kazu, gives me the hope that no matter how long we live on this earth, our vision and inspiration can and will continue to touch others for eternity. Rest peacefully Kazu, you will be missed.

Ladies furniture and display

2011-01-28T13:18:00.000-08:00

This is my newest project with Goorin Bros. Hat Company.

You can see this display in person at Goorin's Hat Shop on Haight Street in San Francisco.

Paul Kos installation begins

2011-01-04T10:56:00.000-08:00

Over the holiday season, UnderGround Colors, my custom painting and restoration company, started on a new project at UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. This time we are bringing to life the vision of the ever prolific artist, Paul Kos. The imagery is going to be applied to hundreds of thousands of 1 inch by 1 inch squares on the wall of the lobby inside the Helen Diller Cancer Research Center. The image's message will spell out 'Everything Matters' in an obscured pattern of juxtaposed colors. It is sure to be a very intense project, but we are happy to have such a great crew and to be able to bring this amazing artist's vision to life.

Virtuoso Art and Music Event

2010-12-12T23:34:00.000-08:00

Virtuoso

Come celebrate the incredible lifetime talent of Prairie Prince, an extremely prolific artist, musician and mentor to myself, as he turns 60 years old this year. We plan on having live bands performing with and for Prairie during the evening, as well as a large group art show. The name is of event is ‘Virtuoso’, and the theme is art inspired by music and music that inspires art. The term ‘Virtuoso’ is defined as ‘A person with masterly skill or technique in the arts’. We hope to capture that idea in this show and give some new and old talented individuals a new platform to shine. Please join us in this celebration coming up this….

These are a couple of sketches for ideas for some new paintings. I will be co-hosting and showing this coming December 18th in an art show titled, 'Virtuoso', meaning person of art and music, and these two ladies, though very different, both seem like great images of that title....

Fabulous 40s weekend progress

I started painting a wall today with my friend, Taco (and special guest, Nick P). We are redoing an older mural, I'm doing one of my new 1940's inspired pieces, Taco is painting a Felix piece for his friend, and my sister, Margaretta, plans to come through and hook up the background. I also did some more work on my 'Sometimes' piece that will be showing this upcoming Saturday night...

This past Sunday I finished up a mural project that my sister and I were commissioned to create by Howard Fallon as a memorial to his wife and daughter. This family has lost so much, but Howard had the great idea of doing a beautiful painting to honor these very special women in his life. I am very honored to have worked on this project and have really enjoyed getting to know Howard. He and his daughter, Shane, will be hosting a mural dedication on November 27th at 4pm. The mural is located on Comeford Lane off of Church and 27th street in San Francisco, CA.
