I heart Rod Serling

here is my piece for the upcoming Twilight Zone art show @ Gallery 1988 in L.A.
I am so excited to be part of this show. I say that a lot, but they have the best shows there!
The Twilight Zone is and always will be in my top 5 favorite TV shows.
Not to mention Rod Serling was such an amazing guy. So inspiring.

"Until Midnight" -16x20 - oil on canvas

inspired from the episode "The Masks"
One of my favorites.
have you ever wished you could unmask someone to show who they really are? I know I have.

the show is scheduled for May 18th

Ryan+Me = super rad show!

I met Ryan at an art fair we both did when I was first starting out. And instantly liked him. His work has a combination of chaos and beauty. And hes a super cool cat to boot. I had been wanting to do this series of work, and knew I would need someone with the same life ambitions as myself to partner up with, and Ryan was 1st in my mind.
heres some of his past works.

The Great Balancing Act

Ive been working on pieces for this show since the beginning of the year. Me and Ryan ( who will be my partner this time) were having trouble on a title for the show. But we finally decided on "The Great Balancing Act". These pieces are very personal, and important subjects to me. Balancing life is something I struggle with everyday. I tend to lean off to one side very easily. But once there I want to go to the other side. I have a hard time finding balance, and its balance that I want. I also find it amusing that I am a Gemini. Though I dont really believe in Astrology, I find it fascinating. I can see why we have been looking to the stars for information, its alluring and mysterious, but I ultimately believe the universe has a whole other purpose. But I digress. Balance is the inspiration for these new pieces. Everything has to have balance, or it all can topple over in a great huge mess. If we lean to one side, so far we cant even see the other side, whats to happen?

here is a sneak peak. I will eventually show the whole piece once its professionally scanned.

the show is set for June 12th.
I'll be posting more info throughout the next couple months.
