i get back to san francisco, get rid of my mexican stomach parasite, then its straight back to the drawing table. i made this piece, called “the revenge of the road bear” in the first week i was home from the northwest. i am really stoked on it, my first five layered cutout, and a new direction for me. its about a travelling sales bear, who raises complete fucking hell on his travels. here is the sketch, the finished piece, and some background music. if you are in or around nyc this weekend, please stop by the joshua liner gallery and check it out…
pencil sketch the day i got home...
here is my man slug, showing the difference between off the top of the dome vs. written bullshit. similar to coming home from traveling and busting out a painting off the top of my dome in just a few days, vs. staying home all summer making the same old paintings…, yawn. very inspiring, thanks for the soundtrack…
greetings from sunny guadalajara mexico. mi amigo sam flores and i were sent here to give a lecture and teach a workshop. the workshop was cancelled, so we just talked, painted some big dudes, drank mas cervecas, and mostly fucked around. i am really starting to get tired of the road, and miss north beach. a few more weeks i guess. below is the theme song for my life this summer, and a few gem snapshots from old mexico…
i cant use spray paint for shit...

i may have the baddest collection of hurraches of any white dude ever.
