Learnin' to tattoo

Well...I have not been doing much painting for the last 6 or 7 months. Instead, I have been learning a new medium... tattooing. I want to thank all the guys down at Aces, especially Kevin, for really giving me the opportunity to work with, and learn from them. I have to say, it is the most humbling and challenging form of art that I have ever done. I have a long way to go and a lot to learn...but here are a couple examples of what I have been doing.

Portland Art Show

This month I have 15 paintings on display in Portland, OR at Artful Goods Contemporary Gallery and Gifts located at 1233 SW 10th Ave. The show Opens on Friday, February 6th. These are some fun new paintings for sure! So, if your in Portland, check 'em out.

Back at "The Fort"

So, after having vacated my studio space at The Fort for a few months, I am proud to say that I am back there and in full swing. 

For those of you who don't know what The Fort is, here is a little history. After the Deux Gros Nez closed, Tim Healion acquired a warehouse on Dickerson Rd. to headquarter the Tour de Nez and house all the rad stuff from the Deux. I moved my painting studio there shortly after. After months of convincing, I also got Chris Carnel(famous photographer) to move his studio there. As of this week, The Fort is also home to Bootleg Courier company, Reno's first and only bicycle courier company. All along, we have had plans to do some fun stuff out there for the public and communtiy. That is finally coming together. Besides Tim, Chris, Myself, and Bootleg, there is a community of people who help with various things at The Fort such as consuming coffee and espresso! In short,  The Fort's philosophy is to advocate Bicycles, Coffee, Art, and Community!

Stay tuned for upcoming events!
