Bicycle Day

This painting was started in San Francisco, on April 20, 2012, in front of a live audience at the Bicycle Day event. I had the honor of working with my long-time hero, and an amazing human being, Alex Grey. After sending the painting back and forth a couple times, between our studios, this was the result of our collaborative experiment. More detailed images of the painting on my site.

Limited edition of 100. → Available for purchase HERE

WALLSPACE Mural

This May, I completed a mural fronting the courtyard of the Phoenix Hotel, at the corner of Eddy & Larkin in the Tenderloin, SF. The hotel's cool outdoor heated pool provides a very nice vantage point. Many thanks to WALLSPACE for arranging the project. More mural and details → here.
