Canvases

 This is an old collaboration (above) I did with my friend West for our friend Maggie. I call it "The BeatBot". There are a few spots that i never got a chance to touch up so it looks a little sloppy in the photo, but in real life it looks pretty awesome.
 This one is one of my favorites (above) "Super Faded as always" SFk represent!
 This is a newer painting (above) I did for an art show at Living Dead Tattoo. Complete with 3D pop-up mushrooms and textured writing. I Like the character on it a lot, but the rest of it is kinda boring so I will probably add to it eventually. I will upload a close-up of the character too, because this picture didn't come out that great.
I have been working on this one (above) for the past 7 years on and off. It started out really plain and boring, but as the years have passed, I have added all kinds of stuff. I tried to capture the essence of what graffiti really is the way I layered it so many times, and overlapped certain parts just like the way we do it on walls. Even if i liked what was there before, I still covered it up with something else because all graffiti is temporary. We can spend 3 hours painting a wall, and 1 week later it's gone, but that doesn't stop us from doing it again. That's just part of writing graffiti...I've done pieces that I put lots of hours into and spent a ton of money on supplies, but even if it gets crossed out or covered up, I'm not too pissed about it, because I did it for myself and no one else and the fact still remains that I did it. Even if no one can see it any more, I still know it was there, how beautiful it was, and what it took for me to accomplish it. That means more to me than the respect or recognition that I would get for it. Anyway I do that in all of my paintings, but this one is special since I constantly add to it and every piece that I add has a story behind it. I don't know if it will ever truly be "finished", but I like how it's looking right now and I can't think of anything else to do to it....yet. Oh, and all my paintings are for sale, so contact me if you are interested in buying one, or commissioning a painting. Peace.
