The first edition of my “Business/Personal” print sold out pretty quickly, and there have been inquiries about a second printing…so in order to keep the integrity of the first edition, I’ve created something new for the second edition. This new illustration will be available in a 2-color version in addition to the monochrome; there will also be a very limited number of artist proofs with hand-painted phrases on the print. You can pre-order now, HERE, and the prints will be available to ship in about 2 weeks.

I stopped by Jonas Wood’s studio today to check out some of his new work. Unfortunately I didn’t shoot any of his new work as it hasn’t been shown anywhere yet, and he’s rather protective of where his work pops up. Anyway, He has a whole batch of other new work over at UCLA’s Hammer Museum for a show that runs from now until May 9th. The work he has at the Hammer is all abstract potted plant still lifes. He said he doesn’t normally focus an entire show on just one subject like this, but he’d been saving this work up and it just seemed right to put it all in one show together. It’s interesting to see the progression of these works from the more realistic potted plants that he’s incorporated into his interiors paintings to the abstract, flat, almost sculptural pieces he’s included in this show. Also, if you are in Boston, Jonas has a show coming up with Chris Caccamise from February 20th to March 27th at the La Montagne Gallery. (more…)

As quoted from this New York Times article:
“No doubt about it, the market is now back to where it stood before the recession. Great coups are still to be made while the hoi polloi charge on, ready to pay the earth for pictures or sculptures, good or bad, that hit them in the stomach strongly enough.”

I found it sad to realize that Nick was only 37. An extremely talented young man with a fine career ahead of him. I read is obituary and didn’t know he was living in Newport Beach – you’d think I would have crossed paths with him since I lived in the OC for 15 years…the art community is not that big a place. Again, very sad. My condolences to his family. Below are some samples of his work, and more HERE.

I’m not sure why I didn’t post these pics right after the show, but I guess better late than never. The show was at the new Prism Gallery in Hollywood and featured some really, really big work by these two guys. Phil’s biggest piece covered most of a high ceilinged 2-story wall…I’m guessing 25-plus feet? Anyway, the show was back in November and was called “Mind The Gap.” Other than the size of the works, I can’t say any of the work broke new ground for either of these artists. But I guess that’s not a requirement for a new show. The work was really amazing, don’t get me wrong…I’d love to get some work from these guys. (more…)

I recently visited fellow Angelino artist Lisa Solberg in her downtown studio for a piece I’m writing in the upcoming issue of Monster Children Magazine. Here is one of her new pieces which is just amazing. We got talking about Cy Twombly which made me want to post this below. It’s just awesome. I’ll post the interview once the new issue reaches the newsstands.

This is a piece I am working on (well, actually it’s finished, but this photo is of it in-progress). Lloyd Blankfein (CEO of Goldman Sachs) portrait (unsolicited). What an a-hole. Below are some of my quick study sketches. The quote is in reference to a famous anti-war poster from the Vietnam era (below). (more…)
