Upcoming Show: Hello Kitty Three Apples

For the last little while or so, I've been really busy day and night working on a new piece for an upcoming show I mentioned earlier.

The piece is finally finished now and at the framers. It will be sent out to the gallery in a few days for the Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary show titled "three apples" curated by Jamie from Japan LA.

The show will be opened to public on October 23rd and will be at Royal T in Culver City, Los Angeles.

Its looking to be a great show with an artist lineup such as Bobby Chiu, Kei Acedera, Edwin Ushiro, Gary Baseman, Ron English, Natalia Fabia, Camilla D'Errico, Buffmonster, Yoskay Yamamoto, Tessar Lo, Travis Louie, Nate Frizzell, Frank Kozik, Colin Christian, Tara McPherson, and many many more. Please check here for more information on the artists in the show.

I am really looking forward to this show and seeing other artist's work up close in person!

Right now, I can't release the piece yet until they make it public on their website. So please keep checking back, there are some great pieces up already!

I will be flying down to LA with my friends Bobby and Kei from Imaginism studios and will be in attendance for the show. Looking forward to meet you everyone at the show!

More info to come soon and I will post my piece here whenever it is released on the website.

The Tales We Tell Show @ Lonsdale Gallery

This past weekend, went to 'The Tales We Tell' opening art show at the Lonsdale gallery. First time visiting this gallery and I must say it is a very nice gallery. The show was awesome as well. Finally got to see Martin Wittfooth's work in person, that was the highlight for me at the show. :)

Definitely worth going if you are in the Toronto area.

A night of Art and Music

I will be contributing to an upcoming charity event of art and music this coming Saturday (March 1st) organized by my buddy Tyrel. A very exciting event as lots of great artists will be contributing there and lots of things are planned for this event.

Reading from his blog, it'll be a gallery/concert type event in Toronto that will be advertised on NOW and other places. Some big bands will be performing, some breakdancing, and TONS of artwork everywhere, an art raffle.

Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Nicoletta Ceccoli's show at the Magic Pony

Went to the Nicoletta Ceccoli art show at the magic pony with a few friends recently..and it was...awesome! A must see, i think..we were all very impressed with the rendering of the paintings and the details of each piece...very impressive.

Its crazy also how everything was done in acrylics...and was so smooth..without any noticeable brushstrokes...unbelievable.

Here are some photos I took at the show, go check it out if you're in the area. heres the website for more info http://www.magic-pony.com/
