INTERVIEW AT THE STUDIOWednesday, July 7, 2010
In conjunction with the Green Label Art contest currently going on, Mountain Dew is shooting in select cities that the Dew tour is passing through.  Portland happens to be one of those locations. Considering I created the can artwork for Compound Gallery, the select shop in Portland to participate in the contest, I had to give some face time to the camera. A film crew came through my studio after shooting over at Compound Gallery, and interviewed me, my process, my work, and what went into my design for the can.  I was super stoked to be interviewed by none other than Chris Pastras!

Apparantly, my mug (and studio and art) is going to be seen on national television, both on Fuel TV, NBC, and online come late august.  More to come on that when I hear more.





















SLINGSHOT HOOD RIVER ART SHOW PHOTOSThursday, July 1, 2010
Wanted to share some photos from the Slingshot Sports art show held in Hood River, Oregon last saturday night.  There was a huge showroom space where I hung a number of new and old works, as well as sketches and process work used in the creation of the Slingshot line I designed.  Everyone was really excited about our collaboration and the process that went into the board graphics.  It was cool for me to see samples of the artwork on the actual boards too.
