So, I'm having my first EVER solo show in NYC. It's going down during the DUMBO Arts Festival, one of the biggest arts festivals in the city at Halcyon Gallery (which is a mixture of a record store and a gallery). It's happening on September 26. It's called, you guessed it: ]SOLO[ and it's going to be featuring about 10 paintings that are acrylic on large wood pieces along with a few smaller plexi-glass pieces similar to the other ones I've done.
I'm really excited for this show and the opportunity to finally show my work to everyone at such a great place. Thunderdog, NYCO, and Wizard Sleeve have all been awesome enough to sponsor the event and help make it happen.
I hope to see all your faces there! Any questions, contact me at bloktinfo@gmail.com.
And of course, all the work will be for sale, so bring your rich uncle...or something.
If you don't get a chance to make it out that weekend, you'll be seeing some photos up on the site soon, so stay tuned.
PEACE!!]BLOKT[
Last year, I submitted my work to a small arts festival in my hometown of Rochester, NY called Artist Row. I wasn't able to make it up because of obligations in the city, but thanks to my sister and mom, it went great.This year, they selected me to show again and this time, I'll be there to see it all go down. I'm hoping it'll be a success and that the city that inspired me to make art will be inspired by my work.
The market is open this upcoming weekend, on Saturday, September 20 from 10am - 4pm. There'll be live music, good food, and some awesome artists showing, not to mention the hippie elite of Rochester. I'll be showing some water color illustration prints that'll be for sale, along with stickers and smaller pieces.
So, to all my 585 friends, I'd love to see you all there. And to whoever else wants to take the trip, let me know!
Above is the flyer for the event.
Photos coming soon...]BLOKT[
Last weekend on Saturday, Sept. 12th, I got the opportunity to do my second live painting gig in NYC at Halcyon's 10th Anniversary party at South Street Seaport. I was filling some big shoes, but I think I still killed it.
They had DJ Jazzy Jay and Danny Krivit spinning late into the night, oysters, awesome Brooklyn Pilsner, circus freaks, breakdancers, kids' activities, t-shirt printing, mini-golf, sand-castle building, the list goes on. Let's just say that they had everything going on.
I started with some vinyl masking to get some basic shapes and lines, then I washed it all with some acrylic paint, white gesso, and spray paint. After that was done, I went in and defined the shapes further with some brighter acrylics to give it some more contrast.
Let me know what you think.

Here are pictures of the donated skateboards on the auction block...on top is my design, displayed here by John Hieftje, mayor of Ann Arbor, MI (!!!). The second picture is Tristan's amazing laser-etched board.
Apparently the auction was a huge success. I hope it works out for all the skaters and riders in the city...punkasses.
Here and here are two more links with pictures from the auction. ]BLOKT[

Above are pictures of a deck I just finished for a non-for-profit auction in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The proceeds will go toward building a skate park for all the youngin's within the city limits.
This is the first in a series of pieces I'm working on featuring Revolting Republicans! I've been so shocked by the behavior of some right-wing pundits and politicians lately.
It's only a matter of time before they throw on their anarchist armbands and hit the streets smashing cars with their golf clubs and highball glass Molotov cocktails.

My first live painting gig! This was at Tompkins Square Park in the lower east side of Manhattan. Usually ridden with homeless people and junkies, this time it was full of artists and sideshow freaks...so yeah, I guess not that much of a difference.
I painted this with acrylic on a 10' high piece of canvas...it took me about 5 hours total.
