Ginkgo Commission

This is a diptych painting of bronze ginkgo leaves I recently finished. It was placed in a ginkgo-themed living room outside of Chicago.

Gold Tryptic Commission

This recent commission was created from 3 picture frames salvaged from the flea market. The buyer intended to keep one, while gifting the other two pieces to his father and brother.

Sharpie Times Square!

My Sharpie billboard in Times Square, NY is now up!

Flea Market

I had an awesome run at the flea market yesterday. I managed to haul over 60 frames back to the studio - all very used, old and full of character. These are going to make great canvases for upcoming shows.

Wall Street Journal Interview

Wish me luck! This morning I have a Sharpie media interview with Wall Street Journal. Talking specifically of my process, experiences and the future of design.

Lakeview East Art Fair, Chicago

I am exhibiting all weekend at the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts! Showing all new typographic pieces and glass window paintings. Love Chicago summer art fairs.

Skyline Commission

I was recently commissioned to paint a Chicago skyline. This gift is going to a couple moving out west. I always say, my favorite pieces start off as the biggest challenges. I couldnt be happier with this one.

Garbage Pickin

This is truly where most of my windows come from, the alleys and dumpsters. I stumbled upon a great find earlier this morning and managed to collect about 15 windows. I also was told that the house was built in 1929. Such a great find.

Sharpie: The Academy, Seattle

A small part of my Sharpie commercial was filmed in Seattle, WA at The Academy headquarters. The studio had a large room divider created from windows, which was the perfect canvas for me to paint. A video was shot, which was later translated into a time-lapse for the final piece.

Sharpie: Video Shoot

My Sharpie commercial was shot by Seattle guys, The Academy, over the course of 2 days in Chicago. This is a photo of Creative Director David Holm filming at my studio.

Sharpie Partnership!

I can finally announce my big news, I signed with Sharpie! The ad campaign launches this week, look out for my commercials on MTV & Fuse.

New Painting: Root

This frame came from a home built in the late 1800's. I believe it came from an armoire or piece of furniture due to its cool hardware and unique size. This is one of my favorite paintings to date.

Tattoo Design: Tonja

This tattoo design involved creating an extension off of her existing line work. As you can see, the top-most part had originally existed, which I added detail to as well as created additional design to extend down her back. I also decided to add hints of red to tie everything together.

New Painting: You are Loved

This piece is freehand painted on a salvaged picture frame.
