A DISTRACTION FROM FLOWERS - SAN DIEGO


Well, I spent 2 late nights throwing up a mural for my "A Distraction from Flowers" 4 person show at Distinction Gallery that included Aaron Kraten, Gabe Leonard, and Sake. Melissa at Distinction is awesome she hooked up a sale one of my pieces to the Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome for their private collection. Check out some further coverage on the Juxtapoz site here.

Here's a pic of my mural getting started. I always forget to get the paint shaken and end up stirring for an hour or so. The black wasn't opaque enough so I had to go over all the black twice. Ah well, beer was supplied and it was good to focus on something creative while remembering Beau.

This was hung on my friend Chad's fridge


Yikes...

This was my first time shooting guns indoors since my hunter safety course when I was 12. Its kind of weird, loud, and expensive. Still kind of fun though-good call Chad.


Jack Darnell and Sarah Brown, long time friends and my dog Billie's other dad. Sara had a little eye accident so we send her a little package including this sexy eyepatch.


This is what happens when Billie doesn't have me around. Doggie fashion shows, like whoa.

Billie has a way better life in SD with Jack. They live right across from Balboa Park and really close to its dog park. They also take her to Dog Beach a couple times a week. 10 years old and still killin' it.
