As mentioned in the previous post I will be showing at the Musée de la Halle St-Pierre, in Paris.
The show will be starting on March 1st and will be up until the 21st. It will be Alex One, los Panos (chicano prison art) and myself.
There will be an event with a live-painting session by me and Alex One, as well as live tattooing by Easy Sacha on the 11, starting at 6:30 pm. The whole thing is organized for the launch of a new quarterly art publication called “Hey!”.
I have the cover and a nice 12 pages interview in the first issue. 144 pages and no ads. Issue #1 will be out on March 11th.

I just got back from Miami where I showed some works at Aqua with Galerie d Art Yves Laroche as well as at Scope with Mauger Modern Art for their “There s Still Life” show.

Here are a few photos and related links…

Sorry for the long absence of posts in the news/blog section as well as for not adding any new pieces to the website in a while… I have been working hard lately on a new series for my upcoming solo show at Fuse Gallery in NY in November (opening on the 3rd). I will do a massive update of the new works around the time of the show. I will also post more informations a couple of weeks before the show…
In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek at what I’m working on…
