'Sometimes' showing this weekend

This is my newest completed painting, titled 'Sometimes'. She is part of my Fabulous 40s series and the first one is which I infused more color into the scheme. 'Sometimes' is painted in acrylic on canvas and is 3ft x 4ft. She will be showing this coming Saturday evening, December 4th,  in San Francisco at the Chillin Productions Holiday Event.

Virtuosas

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...

More Hat Ladies

Here's a few more of my hat ladies that I have been doing for Goorin Bros. Hat Company. The hat lady mural is part of the North Beach Goorin Hat Shop redo project that I worked on with Reyes and Steel last month.

Julee and Kendra dedication mural complete

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.

Quiet Stillness in Femininity show this Sat. Night

Hat Lady 4 progress

Here are some progress pics of my newest hat lady. She is part of a collaboration mural with Steel and Reyes for the North Beach Goorin hat shop renovation project.

Hat Ladies

These are a series of sketches, paintings, and murals that I am doing in correlation with Goorin Bros. hat company. Two of them are featured this month in the 'Art of Goorin' window display and retail campaign in all 11 Goorin Hat shops. The first hat lady mural is painted in the Haight Sreet store and the second will be done in the revamped North Beach location in San Francisco.

Sculpture Restoration Project for Stanford

Just yesterday we finished up our latest sculpture restoration job for Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center, it is titled 'The Sieve of Eratosthenes' , the artist's name is Mark di Suvero. The sculpture is approximately 30ft tall and 40ft wide. With the help of some dedicated team members, Lucien Shapiro, Mike Nelson, Pete the Painter and myself, Amandalynn, we were able to primer, red paint, and clear coat this piece after is was completely sandblasted clean of all its previous finishes. Another tedious and strenuous task, but all worth it in the end, if you are ever in Palo Alto, stop by the Cantor Arts Center to see this piece unveiled as well as many other amazing sculptures they have around the campus.

PUSH solo show Oct. 23rd

One of my favorite artist's and friend is having his solo show called Divided Attention opening Saturday, October 23rd at Known Gallery in LA, I highly recommend checking it out, even if just online, more details below....

On October 23, 2010, PUSH's street-smart installations transform into gallery worthy paintings, celebrated by Known Gallery, Los Angeles until November 23, 2010. To mark the opening, PUSH will be painting larger than life feature installations both inside and outside on the façade of the gallery building.

A self-taught painter and sculptor, PUSH was inspired early on by skateboarding and the burgeoning west coast graffiti scene. He credits his friendship with fellow AWR/MSK crew member SABER as helping to define his path in life as well as shaping his art making work ethic.

In 2007, PUSH’s early work caught the eye of media sponsor, LA Weekly: “Trying to define Push’s work is unfair, and nearly impossible. It’s easier to say it’s like nothing else: informed by postmodern abstract splatter paintings, yet rigid, neon and precise. Introverted and quiet, he’s the thinking man’s graffiti artist.”

After his many years of global graffiti writing invitations and participation in numerous group exhibits, DividedAttention brings together PUSH’s latest paintings, debuting an evolved style and introducing a new, sophisticated color palette. When asked why it took so long for the Seventh Letter’s man of mystery to have his own show, he demurs. “I want to show something that is natural, balanced, and thought out. And timing is everything”

Opens to public: October 23rd, 2010
Runs: October 23rd - November 13th, 2010
Opening Reception: Saturday, Oct 23rd, 2010 at 8-11pm

Killer Krystal showing this Sat. in SF

This is my newest vixen, 'Killer Krystal', I used a reference pic shot by Dylan Maddux during a photo shoot we collaborated on with the lovely Krystal. She is painted on a 2ft x 3ft canvas with acrylic and is framed in a nice gold frame. I am donating this piece to the Hell's Belles Silent auction held at the 941 Gallery (Shooting Gallery's new gallery space). All proceeds from the auction are donated to the Bay Area's Women and Children Center. There is also a great derby race that takes place during the auction with hand made derby cars, as well as great art on display. Details below...

The event will be held at 941Geary Gallery

Located at 941 Geary St. between Van Ness & Larkin- Look for the “Downtown Smog Test” signs. The smog place is now an art gallery. You can also enter from Myrtle Alley, through the roll up doors

Please note: This is NOT the gallery where it was held last year, but it’s just a few steps away from last year’s venue at 835 Larkin St. Trust us, you will not miss it!!

TIMES

Doors open at 6:00 pm, races start at 8:00. If you plan to race a car, be sure you bring it early enough to check it in. If you are late, you won’t be able to race it—it’ll be displayed as a show car.

SILENT ART AUCTION

We’ve got some really great pieces in the Silent Art Auction this year. Remember, people tend to get pretty good deals at silent auctions and all the proceeds go to the Bay Area Women’s & Children’s Center in the Tenderloin. If you’ve never participated in a silent auction, don’t worry, we’ll show you how—it’s not difficult. You do need to bring a credit card though (or cash).

This year we’ve got work from Amandalynn, Ben Collison, Talbot DeVil, Josh Ellingson, Jeremy Fish, Frank Kozik, Michael Murphy, Jeremy Natividad, Jamie O'Keefe, TJ Rappel, Nicole Steen, Jeff Stevens, Sherwin Viray, Jay Watson and other surprise art stars….
