Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Clippers vs. Timberwolves

I love basketball! Maybe it's the speed of the game or the way players seem to fly for just a moment. Well, yesterday I got these amazing seats courtesy of Laraine who hooked it up. She is a season ticket holder and has seen and met some amazing basketball superstars. Last night we were supposed to meet Marcus Camby, but that fell through. Most importantly, we won against the T-wolves in a 91-87 victory. Let's hope that Eric Gordon can play soon.

His new body of artwork can be view until December 5, 2009. For those of you who are out of state, view this show online. And those of you in California...

Quinquennium Exhibitum: Nucleus 5 Year Anniversary Exhibition

3 years ago, I was working in the video game industry and needed an outlet to develop my own personal artwork. Gallery Nucleus gave me my first opportunity to showcase my art in a gallery scene. The following year they graciously offered me a solo exhibition which eventually sold out. Now, they celebrate 5 years and I am again given the opportunity to share my art with you. This painting above is filled with allot of gratitude towards Ben Zhu and his amazing staff. It is my way of saying thank you for all of your support.

Last week #3: Illustrative 2009: Berlin

It's 2009, and I miss Berlin already. Well, except the cold. So, my artwork travels without me and is displayed at the glamorous Villa Elisabeth for Illustrative 2009: Berlin (a showcase of contemporary illustration from around the world with invited artists: Tomer Hanuka, Erik Sandberg, Olaf Hajek, Lok Jansen and Edwin Ushiro). The second photo is one of my contributions to the show. The rest are a few photos that I snagged from the Illustrative website. Post!
