Hanging with the Greys in COSM blog

In winter 2008 I went down to Manhattan to meet visionary master painter Alex Grey, who I am a big fan of. I got my obligatory photo with him. After a couple more encounters (and photos) at Burning Man, Toronto and Hawaii, he finally started to remember me and my art. Always a pleasure and honor.
Now last month I saw him and his wife Allyson in Australia and it was them who asked me to get a photo with me!! What?!! They just posted it on their blog on th Eclipse festival we participated at. I am super stoked. Also stoked that I will be hosting an "Art Church" at their new COSM land in upstate New York, August 4th 2013. Hope to see some of you there!!  http://www.cosm.org/blogs/index.html

Hellahigh Solo Exhibition


Though I've had some pretty solid solo shows in the last few years, it's been in places like Peru, Belgium, California, Mexico, etc. Last week I was asked if I wanted to do one at the Green Light Gallery in The Plateau of Montreal and I agreed. Since a big portion of my art is stored in California, I am forced to show some new stuff, along skateboard prints and I will also have some cheap original drawings for sale, so its a good chance to scoop an original for cheap!

See you next Friday october 5th at Green Light Gallery (3878 Saint Laurent). Other than my art and live painting we will have reggae n hip hop djs and beers.

New Creation Catalog!!!

For the last few months I have been working super hard putting together the new catalog of Creation Skateboards, for the Fall 2012-Winter 2013 season. Check it HERE.
Though I only have 2 new graphics of my own art, I curated the art of many friends (like Peru, Entes-Pesimo, Sego, Android Jones, Randal Roberts, Adi, Bobby Brown, etc.) and laid it down as board graphics. I also managed to hunt down the legendary traveling pro skater Kenny Reed to be part of our team, which will show the world that Creation is not only still alive, but growing. I thank you for your support and if you want any of this niceness for your feet or wall, please ask your local skate shop to hook it up for you! Skate shops will only order if they see a demand from the streets, so it's in your hands.
