I’ve always loved vinyl records, iconic objects of great musical exploration and nostalgia. This piece is a combination of an older 7″ 45 RPM vinyl record and the newer 12″ 33⅓ RMP vinyl, with an overlay of metallic paints and a jewelry embellishment. The outward pattern is an abstract zentangle style, surrounding a circular abstract rose illustration. To get to this point, I went through several experiments on vinyl and a few trips to the vintage record store but it was all well worth it.
The piece was created for the PANCAKES & BOOZE Underground Art Show happening in SF this weekend. It’s sure to be a grand event with tons of other artists, live body painting, music and pancakes (of course!). Hope to see you there! Here are the details:
June 27th & 28th, 8PM-2AM

“Enduring Hope” is a skeletal homage to Mother Nature and is inspired by Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” and the upcoming Day of the Dead. In today’s pop culture, images of skeletons don’t hold the same horror and disdain as it has in the past and I wanted to explore that concept–where death is an integral part of life and there’s always beauty in the most mundane or misunderstood subjects. This piece was created with pen/ink and incorporates some of my photographic textures and backgrounds.

This is a collage and tshirt of floral design elements inspired by the beautiful 80-90 degree weather currently in the SF Bay Area. Since I can’t go on vacation, I’ll just dream…

“Bloody Roses” is a digital rendering of a gothic scene. Inspired by the vampire genre, this piece pays homage to the romance, beauty, grit, and deathly atmosphere of the night-walkers. The bloody butterfly represents femininity and grace amidst a world of horror.
I photographed this Iron Monkey dance crew member at The Crucible Fire Arts Festival. Although blurred, I think this photo captures the speed and technicality of break-dance movements. I just purchased a digital Canon XTi camera, so I had a bit of fun experimenting with the slow shutter speed.
Roxrite vs. Lilou-Red Bull BC One 2007 Roxrite has an amazing range of movement that’s just incredible to watch. Don’t blink!
