3/31/08 ="STREET FIGHTER CHARACTERS" In March UDON had a contest for fans of Street Fighter to draw their favorite SF character, send it in, and then if picked, their drawing would end up in a 25th anniversary Art of Street Fighter book. Unfortunately, my two submissions didn't make the cut. Oh well! I still had some fun drawing these guys. Enjoy ZANGIEF & YUN! FIGHT!

11/17/07 "THUNDERMARO" for Kulture Klash Art Show sponsored by JADA TOYS, GM, and WAHOO's This was my piece for the first Kulture Klash Car meets Art show in Downtown L.A. Every artist was given a CONCEPT CAMARO R/C car to paint on. I was HEAVILY influenced by METAL and METALOCALYPSE when I did this piece. It was a departure from what I usually do, but it was fun...and BRUTAL! More pics in my pic section. Comments are always welcome!

9/24/07= "HIRO" HEROES SEASON 2 PREMIERES TONIGHT! I did this drawing a while back for a toy pitch. The toy company I work for tried to get the License to do HEROES action figures, but unfortunately we didn't get it. This was my conceptual drawing of a more 'stylized' version of the HEROES. An 'urban vinyl' take on the characters. Enjoy Hiro! And enjoy HEROES TONITE!!!

8/10/07= "HOMEMADE HERO" (18x24) ACRYLIC Here's my latest piece for a new ALPHA CULT show called "Up, Up and Away". As you guessed, the theme is COMIC BOOKS and SUPER HEROES! Two things I know aloooot about. My piece is called "HOMEMADE HERO". I wanted to capture that moment in time when we all were kids and wanted to dress up like a super hero. I used 5 different canvases and set them up so the whole piece would look like a page out of a black and white comic/ graphic novel. More pics in my pic section. Comments are always welcome. PEACE!

6/13/07= "STUPID QUESTIONS" (8x10) ACRYLIC It's a phrase that some people just need to know!

4/13/07= "LOVE/HATE" (1/24 SCALE SCION XB) ACRYLIC This is a custom SCION XB for the EXTERNAL COMBUSTION II show @ ALPHA CULT in LBC on 4/14/07. The toy company I work at, Jada Toys, donated all the SCION XBs and 38 artists got down on them in their own style.My piece is a throw back to the GOLDEN DAYS of HIP-HOP, the 90's! Peep the DTRT motif mixed in with a lot of 90's Hip-Hop goodness...I miss Tribe :(...As usual more pics in my pic section. Comments are always welcomed!

2/10/07= "PRIORITIES"(11x14) ACRYLIC Here is my piece for the ONEZEROZERO show @ Alpha Cult in Long Beach on Saturday, Feb. 10,2007. The painting is based on a character i created a while back named SNEKR HED(see SNEKR HED sk8 deck). He luvs his shoes!The show is a charity art show to raise money for the AIDS/Lifecycle event. AIDS/Lifecycle is an event that works to raise money and awareness for the AIDS services of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center. It does this by organizing a massive bike riding event - 545 miles, from San Francisco to L.A!!! All pieces for the show will only be $100 bones! Come out and support! Comments are always welcome!
