My friend Putu Rose is a five year old fairy house architect in Ulu’s who has a bear named Ted, likes to eat chips, jump off things like she’s flying, the color pink and drawing on everything including the interior and exterior of her own house, she drew me this picture in less than a minute. So I drew her this.

Putu’s parents let her draw and paint on the walls inside and outside of their house. They let me paint on the side of Jiwa Juice (their cafe in Bingin).

If you’re ever in Bali go to Jiwa Juice and order the traveler, you won’t be sorry!

This past winter I contributed some art to a show curated by my friend Amber B, all proceeds were raised with the aim of sending someone lucky to skate camp in the Sequoias! Sadly it isn’t me! 

13 year old Victoria Ruesga will get to sleep under the stars or inside a tipi, make her own skateboard, tie dye her clothes and fly off a ramp into the lake. It’s going to be an unforgettable summer for Victoria and I’m jealous but I’m stoked my art could help make this happen. 

STAY WILD I LIKE YOUR FIRE!, but don’t burn down the forest Victoria! XX

we met on a blue moon seven years ago

in between working on a secret project and applying for grants I’ve been taking a beginning metalsmith class at the Barnsdall Art Park. Pretty basic first piece considering such strict requirements on size, shape, placement of the bezel setting, size of the stone used and finish, but it’s just the beginning.

Sadly, 14 cultural centers including the Barnsdall and the historic Watts Towers Art Center were removed from the RFP a week ago and the bottom line is that to preserve the Arts in Los Angeles these centers need funding and community support. Take responsibility to do what you can to participate it’s important : )

i always say i hate drawing people but they hardly seem human

my friend Willy asked me to make some artwork for this magical properties tour limited 7” with Daedelus and a track remixed by my brother FREE THE ROBOTS. It’s so intimidating to make stuff for people you love especially when the music they make is so inspiring. Nothing ever feels good enough. Check them out and get a copy on their TOUR
