Outside/In

My piece "Florishing" at the Outside/In exhibit curated by Leon Rainbow in Millville, NJ.  Here's a video from the opening with some of the other art and some words from Leon and Liz on the event.

Trenton St. Patty's Parade

Many thanks to RAIN and the Art All Night people for bringing out the SAGEs to paint live on the AAN float.  It was sooo much fun! Check the video to catch what I could capture while painting on a moving vechicle (which is admitedly harder than I thought).  Something like 4k people flood Hamilton Ave and turn Trenton into a sea of green New Orleans for a few hours.

cold rockin

Me and KASSO decided to take advantage of the bareable temps and rock a lil' sumtin for the community.  It's an abandoned lot where a building was demolished and now is like a giant toilet for the local animals, the last part we didn't know until we got on location.  Here's a peek at what lay every every few inches at various stages of detioration (your welcome for sharing)

I brought an empty squeeze bottle of dish detergent and mixed acrylic and water and had fun squirting colors and slanging paint combining with layers of tags and scrawl for the background.  In the end I like what came of it, tho as always feel it could've been batter.  Hard to concentrate standing in shit, among other complications of the day that thankfully turned out alright. 

Thanks to Sean at Cali Bound for coming out and filming us...check it

Jersey Shore Aerosol Art Battle Against Hunger

Highland Sfumato

I had the pleasure of painting over football field length of walls with my fellow SAGEs on 10/8-10/9 at the Highland Design Farm.  The assignment was to continue from the theme of last year's Highland Sentinal but to have the murals somewhat match the artisans inside.  So, jewels and wires, earth and birds for the naturalist and jeweler.  Da Vinci and designs for the classical artist, whose building is yet to be completed.  And a welder facing the Highland Design shop where Sean Mannix's creations come to life.

here's me working on a poofball kinglet, about 80%.  Below is a stitch of all the buildings
finished, to see more flicks from the event visit my flickr or watch the videos below...



Here's an ad S.A.G.E. made for Liquitex who were nice enough to help us out with a box full of freestyle brushes, which by the way are very nice.  Below is the official SAGE video from the weekend, complete with interview snippets of all crew members.  Check it out!  Please share and enjoy!  Big ups Sean's mom for hooking up the apple pie!

Adam and Eve

Kasso and myself had a great time painting at the lovely home of Andrea Yitkin.  We painted an old barn surounded by Andrea's sculptures, statues, flowers, newly refurbished by her husband Tom.  Right next to a goat, rooster and some chicken we were a long way from the usual urban elements.  The theme of the wall was a Garden of Eden scene, it all came together seamlessly.  Here's a video featuring the many sights of the weekend.
