Back to The Main Inspiration

New art? YES New tunes? YES



















Bigger version

Also I heard back from El Kartel and my custom Oakley's sold! Makes me feel good that I can paint something that someone would want to wear. If the person who bought them reads this, please send me a pic of you wearing them!

I'll have some more art and news within the next couple weeks.

In With That New New

Man, time is moving way too fast. I recently have been laid off at my job and for the first time in awhile I have no idea what I'm going to do. It's a bit scary but in a way very refreshing. I always find a way to make things work and hopefully this'll be no different. If you have an amazing career idea for me let me know!!

It makes me think about my art career more though. I am trying to think of ways to make money with my art but keep true to my work. It's a tough balance.

Also I have a website on it's way. I want it done right and it may be awhile before it's 100% ready but it should be worth the wait.

Here's my other two pieces from the Compound show. The response from the three pieces I sent there have been amazing and lets me know I'm on the right track with my traditional work.




















Maybe Lately. 9x12 inches. Ink, coffee, charcoal, chalk on watercolour paper



















Leaving Town. 9x12 inches. Ink, coffee, charcoal, chalk on watercolour paper

Here's an image I was doing for Redef Records but the monthly releases have been put on hold. Hopefully I will be doing other work with them soon! Really respect Jnota and Damu and they're doing such quality work.


















Thought it was time I did another mix! Here's the cover with the link below.




















Haven't posted any music videos in a long time. I could watch music videos 24-7, even the bad ones.

Catching UP

It's been a minute since I've updated and that's just not acceptable! There have been tons of exciting news and projects coming up for me lately. And I'm quickly realizing that it's so important to have a good group of friends that have my back and push me to new heights. It truly blows my mind when I think about some of the support I've gotten recently.

Here is the flyer I designed for my first time showing at Ayden Gallery. It's a huge step for me and I can not wait to show there and catch up with my Vancouver people! It was nice to have the opportunity to do the flyer for all these amazing artists.




















Another huge announcement for me has been the linking up with Damu the Fudgemunk's label called Redefinition Records! I'll be doing all sorts of art for their releases and hope to really build a relationship between the music and art. I'm a huge fan of Damu's music so this exactly the kind of thing I want to do with my art. There's a bit of info about it at The Find website.

I've done two more mixes over at 8track. These are bit more obscure and a little bit less hip hop based and show some of the different types of music I listen to(even though I'm a hip hop head most of the time).




Here's the images I used for the covers






































Awhile back I took part in a group show at Billy's Bistro in Victoria. The theme was mafia and I did my take on Lucky Luciano. It was fun to do something with a different subject matter and it challenged me a bit.




















And finally here a couple pics from the group show I did in Courtney. Thanks to Wallfarmers and Tarah!













































































I'll be back soon with some recent sketchbook scribbles.

Another Post?! With art this time!

Here's some recent sketches to make up for the lack of new art here. There's a few things in these that are along the lines of where I want to take my art... maybe not there yet.

Monthly Mix Series and Wallfarmers!

Man, I'm so hyped right now on so many things! First I'm going to be doing a monthly mix that'll feature a special cover and have an assortment of the music that has influenced me to get busy in the sketchbook. Here's the first of the series...



I will be showing in this amazing show!!! It's a huge deal for me to be showing with these artists and working with Wallfarmers!
