Collaborative Doodlings

Here is something that I collaborated with my friend, Adam V a while ago for the project we are in together called Mama's Joy. Adam also plays amazing guitars for the band, Seasons who are having the residency on Monday nights at The Echo as well as working on his solo projects and other collaborations.

These ones below are something that I did with Alex Chiu through the mail a bit while ago. Alex is an amazing artist and doodler and was responsible for the giant installation at the Fmlyfest at Chuccos last month.

Alex will be having a showing soon at The Flock Shop in Chinatown. It will be the same day for the opening of my shART show at Homeroom. Thankfully, both places are just a few minutes away from each other so you can go to both. Oh yeah! YOU SHOULD!

So the Kill Kill Kill /Acid Maso Temple Split CD that i did art for is finally out.

Lets Drown This World In Art

Interactive Drawing Box

So here are some low res pix of this interactive drawing box that I created in collaboration with the amazing talents of Adam Roth and JT Steiny.

It's going to make its first ever appearance at Chucos Justice Center in Inglewood for this year's FMLYFEST.

People can draw on the scroll canvas on both sides and then scroll it when the area is filled...im thinking of developing this further by incorporating some video and perhaps some augmented reality stuff on it in the future.

So, come to the FMLYFEST and check out all the amazing bands and art and make sure you contribute to the Interactive Drawing Box!

The picture is not the thing, because the thing is something you gotta see in person to interact with!

Mama's Joy Residency

So Im also in this musical project, Mama's Joy. I always tell people that its not really a band -its more or less something that happens when we all get together. We're doing some kind of residency night at Casey's Pub downtown with some interesting acts. Come check it out if you wanna find out where those yuppies blow their hard-earned moolah nowadays. The show is free and the drinks on me. Not!

Anyways, heres a poster that I did for that.

FMLYFEST 2011

FmlyFest is one of the most awesome festivals to happen in LA. And its totally DIY (or DIT as in do-it-together) Amazing bands and art and workshops are gonna be happening there so make sure to go and get tickets now if you haven't yet! I might also have some interactive art over there.

I made this poster which was colored in by my friend Adam Roth, who makes some bad-ass art too!

VANITY PROJECTS Compilation Album Art

Anika for LA RECORDS

Just did a quick illustration of this new artist called Anika for LA Record today.
I swear I've never heard of her beforehand but after checking out her music, I think i'm digging her sounds. Some post-punk. Some dub. Some girl group. My kind of jams!

The Black Plague Will Swallow Us All @ Pehrspace

i got the chance to help out ghost ghost teeth transform your friendly neighborhood Monday hang-out last week for the show that opened this weekend entitled "The Black Plague Will Swallow Us All". It was lots of fun painting the walls of Pehrspace with Simon Tran (GGT) and i gotta admit that i totally got carried away by the theme.

Anyways, I have two pieces on this show thats gonna be up for the whole month of October and I'm putting em up for a hundred bucks in case somebody wants something in their lives to absorb all the negative energy thats around them. And if you really want to have it and don't have the money, I dare you to steal it!

Pictures would probably convey a better idea of what happened, so here ya go.

Spent the last few days working on a new installation called "To Rise Above This Art Inferno" and its going to be part of this artist0curated group show at the Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Bergamot Station. I'm real happy about this "post-care totem pole" as Rhea has been calling it. I don't have a picture of the finished product yet but here are some pics I took during the process of making it...

Andrew Felix Album Art

Just finished doing the cover for my friend Andrew Felix' new tape release on I Had An Accident Records

ONE TRICK PONY T-SHIRT DESIGN

made this new t-shirt design for One Trick Pony, whose upcoming album "Try Not To Worry About It So Much" sounds really awesome! I made the design inspired by the songs on that album and a bit of Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" which is on of my ultimate favorite movies. I also noticed afterwards that it had that kind of A Clockwork Orange vibe going on due to the shape of the image.

Watch out for their album coming out on the 19th of July!

Discoral USA Cover

this is the cover for a new mini comix zine that i am putting out on limited copies of 100.
its called Discoral USA which is based on those local sound systems that they had in the rural parts of the Philippines where i grew up. These sound systems would set up in basketball courts or open fields and would blast trancey dance music all night long that everyone can dance to.
