So here's the poster I did for "GIG!"(A Revolutionary Art Show) at the iconic Warner Bros. Records building this Friday, May 18.

We were asked to do a poster for a fantasy gig, so who else could I pick but Metallica, playing my 40th Birthday next year!? I'm hoping when they see this, they may just actually say "What the hell, let's do this!!!" I have sent a request to metal gods above. If you're interested in checking the show out, you must RSVP. Cheers, Axis

Here's the billboard I painted for the "Assemble" Avengers show at 7021 Melrose Ave. on May 3rd. It's located at Mansfield and Melrose, right across from California Chicken Cafe. Great chicken, go eat some! Unless you are a vegetarian or a vegan. If that is the case, sucks to be you.

So here's what I did at Basel in December. Sorry it took so damn long to post these. I threw one in for scale. My buddy Pastime rocked the squares. We decided we liked the combination so much, we are working on paintings together now for a show coming up in June at Crewest in beautifully crusty Downtown L.A.!!

Here’s the "Acura RDX" commercial I did last month. This is stop-motion animation, except our piece of paper was a humongous wall and our pencils were spray cans. Watch the tires of the car (they never move). Pretty sick right? Special thanks to everyone at Epoch Films.

 
And here's how we did it! Pay attention, this commercial was done old-school style using stop motion animation. This is the making of...

Welcome to my new site. Sorry it took so long to get one back up, (2 years), but I've been at the bar doing research. Actually, I'm finally getting my site up, because my buddy Jason from the bar did it, so going to the pub frequently IS NOT BAD, despite what they tell you. Anyway, hope you enjoy my work, and drink responsibly. (Don't spill your drink on me or I will punch you!)
