What's New Pussy Cat?

Been so inspired after the LA Zine Fest. It was amazing meeting all the rad artists and zinesters that help made it happen. So one thing that I've been really inspired to work on is storytelling. I drew this the other day for my work desk area as a reminder of the things we gain when we lose something or the things we lose when we gain something. Either/Or.

Now, theres only a few more days before the LA Zine Fest Im excited to finish the third installment of the Post-Care Comix Zine I'm putting together and some other titles as well.

Cryptic ShARTs @ Homeroom This Saturday FEBRUARY 11

In celebration of  LA Zine Week and in preparation for the upcoming LA Zine Fest, I  will be having a shART show at Homeroom with some old and new stuff. There will also be a Comix Jam which is open to everyone of any drawing skill level. There is also an Interactive Augmented Reality Comix that i collaborated with my friend, Denise Duncan. And theres stuff you can buy if you wanna help me pay for bills. Come bring yr friends.

DJ Maimes and Cameron Rath of FMLY will be playing some tunes to inspire yr creativity!

Alex Chiu, whom I've done some drawing collabs with and one of the rad artists who made the LA Zine Fest posters is also having an opening on the same date at The Flock Shop in Chinatown, so make sure to check that out too! 

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!

KILL KILL KILL/ ACID MASO TEMPLE Split CD

So the Kill Kill Kill /Acid Maso Temple Split CD that i did art for is finally out.
Sadly, it is only available in Japan and you can order it from HERE.

LA Zine Fest Is Cumming!

The LA Zinefest is getting closer everyday and they are doing features on the different zinesters that will be vendoring(?) at the event. Yesterdays post happens to be mwah! Read it HERE!

Origins Of Grinding Tape Release FLYER

Heres the flyer I made for the magick ((())) orchids tape release at Homeroom brough to you by KSPC's The Garden Hour featuring DJ Maimes. Other amazing acts playing the show are Walter Gross, Gothic Cholo and Elbow Patches -all brothers from another mothers. January 12th -Save The Date!

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.
