Hi all!

Happy belated new year, I hope everyone had a great holiday season! I'll be showing work in two exciting shows coming up – one is opening in Los Angeles tomorrow, the other opens in New York next week.

Gallery 1988 x Adult Swim: Friday, January 13, Los Angeles

Gallery1988 is teaming up with Adult Swim to create what promises to be a really amazing art show. A bunch of incredibly talented and well known artists will be showing work inspired by their favorite Adult Swim show. I'll be taking part with five pieces – one inspired by Aqua Teen Hunger Force and other four by Space Ghost Coast to Coast (Space Ghost, Moltar, Zorak, and Brak)

The show opens tomorrow - Friday, January 13 from 7pm to 10pm. Hope you're able to check it out, it should be really cool!

Gallery1988 Melrose

New Moon: Friday, January 20, New York

I'm really excited about this show that is opening one week later – it will be my first show at Myplasticheart in New York, and the theme is animals of the zodiak. (Although I'm a dog on the zodiak, I decided to paint a rooster. See below).

There are some really awesome artists taking part, I feel honored to be included! It's great to be showing in New York again, hopefully some of you on the east coast will be able to make it to the show.

The show opens next week - Friday, January 20 from 6pm to 9pm.
