NEW BALANCE 480 / 303 BOARDS / SPB

My newest collaboration with New Balance and my friends at 303 Boards is out now. This New Balance 480 is the third in a series of four shoes. I am very proud of this one because we added a ton of special details, and had access to some premier material choices. I have been wearing and collecting New Balance sneakers for decades, and it is a personal pleasure for me to work with this brand and design these special shoes. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

THE HEAD VERSUS THE HEART

My next solo exhibition will be in Tokyo Japan opening on 4/17/24 at the WAG Gallery 3F, 4-26-28 Jingumae Shibuya-ku. This show is in cooperation with Hidden Champion Magazine, and FTC. The work will be a combination of screen prints and original drawings, ink on paper. The title of this show is “The Head Versus The Heart” and is an obervation on how decisions get made, and what part of the body controls and directs those decisions. I am really looking forward to returning to Japan for a show after many years. Huge thanks to Kent from FTC San Francisco for making this opportunity happen.

The original drawings for the exhibition are from a project I am working on with my Mother. She writes these stories based on traditional fables, and I use her words to inspire these drawings. New screen print editions will be available at the show.

CELEBRATING MIAMI

I will be in Miami this week, 12/5/23-12/12/23 for Art Basel, and will be releasing this screen print celebrating the mural I painted in Wynwood this Spring.

THE KOALABEE CHAMP

Last month I had the opportunity to visit Melbourne Australia and have an exhibition at a place called the On The Corner Gallery, carefully curated by a wonderful dude named Eddie Zammit. I displayed 100 different screen prints spanning over the last 15 years. I would like to thank the city of Melbourne, Eddie, all the folks who helped make the show happen, and the hundreds of lovely people who attended the show.

MOMENTS FESTIVAL 2023 / MALAGA SPAIN

I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the 10th anniversary of the Moments Arts Festival in Malaga Spain in mid October 2023. I had an exhibition of 60 screen prints. Painted a small mural at a popular local bar called “Drunkorama”, and taught a workshop at the Marbella Design Academy. I have had the pleasure of traveling all over the world for this job, and this was one of the greatest trips I have ever had. My sincere thanks to Juan and the gang from Staf Magazine, Dani and the staff at Drunkorama, the special mermaid, and the staff and students at the Marbella Design Academy.
