Exhibit A: Nature

Its the year 3030 and nature no longer exsists. So grab a box of popcorn, and head to the museum of nature and science.

Assssspen.

So I spent a little time in Aspen and it sucks. Rich fucks think they own you and everything around them. I think this painting best describes the karma those snooty fucks will feel one day. Just keep being better than everyone else and know it.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs!

We are so lucky to be able to interpret something as anything. Just one example: You see a bird. It could be just a bird. It could be a hunting challenge. It could be a sign of peace. You decide.

Digital Virtual Mobile

You know, I wonder when the amazing experience of human interaction will be extinct. This is a photo of two people I saw talking to each other on their cells while they were two inches from each others faces. I used a really strange lens, thats why it looks like a painting.

Essentials Copyright

A while ago I decided to try a small format painting on canvas, and this is what came out of it. Just like a team of people trying to work together on something, the hand is only functional when all the digits work together. . . otherwise it is just a blunt object. Not so useful.

The Human Billboards

Sometimes commercial art makes me feel like everyone who has ever bought anything because of a label is a walking talking human billboard. What if billboards did the speaking when we slept?

My Annual Update Has 1 Painting

I suck at updates. But I am going to try, I promise. This isn't an excuse, but I had my camera stolen about a year ago, so there was no way to photo the paintings. OK. That was an excuse.

Anywho, here is a painting Eric Deuel, Shay Vision, Pat, and I worked on in San Diego this last weekend. It was totally inspiring to work on the same board with these guys...

What else must I say...

...that I didn't say with my fists.

Its skateboard time!

While getting my skateboard set up to start the summer, I used some old ones for a little arts and crafts. Enjoy them like I enjoyed riding these boards.

Tag Team.

What happens when Deuel and I get together at 4 in the morning with four cans of spray paint? This of course! Photogs by Lechensedeutcsh.

Just in case you can't make it to the show

Here is another painting from my series hanging and the Haute Fashion + Art show on Saturday. What you own, ends up owning you! Wish I could have got a better picture, colors are much nicer in person, but you get the point.

Just One Pea

This is a third of the "FASHION" art set that I have in an upcoming show with Clappatron 3030. The rest to follow soon. Enjoy.

Whats next for Essentials?

Could it be true?

Musician Sponsored Painting

I sure like getting paid to paint. I wish it happened more often! But more than that, I love to create someone elses "life loves" with a little paint and canvas. This is a comissioned birthday gift for a musician. Enjoy!

Do Over of the Rossi...

A friend of mine gave me this old print of a painting, and of course I couldn't let it stay as is. I gave it my own little touch with a message to all the kiddies about staying attached to one thing too long... oooooohh... social message...

A Couple of Newer Paintings.

Here are a couple of stylings I created on some found alley way wood. Enjoy!

Happy Hanuakristmaskwanza!

This is a painting I did for my biz-naz patner for the Holidays. Pretty stoked on the dogs face! For all that know Ben, thats how he makes the deals happen! I call it the eternal optimist.

It's Been A Long Time!

Wow... its been so long that I even forgot my username and password. Who cares! Well any way, wanted to keep up starting now! Here are a couple fun designs done for Essentials. Maybe some day these will be on shirts or hats or panties!

Finally found some caps!

Its been awhile since I last posted, but I gummed up all my paint caps, so could do much painting til I found some new ones. Finally I was led to them late one night. Anyway, this is a portrait of everybody's favorite vice president. See if you can guess why he shot the man in the face!

Essentials Artwork Preview

Well, since there is only a couple of people that actually look at my blog, I thought I would put a few underground Essentials shirt designs up for you few to take a look at. A cool new direction for us if you ask me!
