So birthday was on January 16th, at which I celebrated 33 years on this planet earth. I had a blast. I was awarded a cake at 9:15 AM at my front door by my wonderful lady and proceeded to work hard at work, and then it was on to LeQuivive Gallery in downtown Oakland. My good friends the brothers Tucci, also known as the Unstoppable Death Machines, from New York City were in town and we had organized an awesome little intimate engagement with Guy Culver and Laughters, in the form of a rock show with myself doing a live painting performance on a strange found object installation format. We had an absolute blast and it was the best birthday of all time! Thanks to everyone who made it awesome!
And I'm out...
Christopher Burch and I descended on the new Book & Job Gallery on Wednesday, November 7th to begin our install of our Fall 2012 two man show "Found in Darkness". Exploring our own personal mythologies that comprise the focus of our work we embarked on this show in August of this year. Examining respective narrative architectures and linear framework, we began creating installations that reflect real environments within our imaginary worlds, both dealing with different reflections of contemporary issues of social problems, race, the environment, and a proposed future of humanity in our own tales.
