My first show in New York. What a pleasant surprise as I never intended or thought for that matter my work suited for public viewing. Not only will this be my first show in the Big Apple, but a SOLO show. When I first came to New York in 2007, all I had was a duffle bag and a dream (literally) of one day being the painter I had once been as a child. It's funny how I've had to go full circle, from finger painting to graffiti to aribrushing to screen printing, to graphic design to product design, furniture design, to tattoos and body art back to painting. It's been quite a journey back home. This show will encompass that journey through examples of creations from each phase of artistic development. Through childhood, high school, college, corporate design, company ownership, and current tattoo development. Even images created while in the 'puzzle factory'. All of which have come together to embody who I've become.
I sincerely, hope that you and as many friends as you can invite will attend as it promises to be an evening of partying, drinking, dancing and surprises as well as interesting people, great art and even a performance or two. There may even be a raffle for some of my work, whose proceeds would go toward one of many mental health advocacy groups that provide a very important service to our communities.
