July 2008:  I am sorry to say I haven’t updated my website in quite some time!  However, the reason for this is that there has been lots of art in progress.  Between freelance shooting, the doll series, and a new magazine, there is a lot of cool stuff coming soon, so stay tuned...  Meanwhile, the first issue of Moonlight Art Magazine is finally complete!  This project has proven to be very fun and rewarding.  Please join Christopher Moonlight and myself, and the folks at Carpe Arte Gallery for the launch party on Saturday August 9th from 7-10 PM.

February 2008:  Now that the holidays have come and gone, I’m back to creating new art and I’m working on my series of doll imagery.  My plan is to finish the series sometime this spring and start approaching galleries for a solo show.  In the meantime, I’ll be showing a few of these images in 2 group shows, both at Safari Sam’s, 5214 W. Sunset Blvd, Hollywood.  The first will be on February 24th, in the 100 Artist 100 Bucks show.  Stop by between 12-5 PM, grab some brunch and drinks, and buy some art!  Nothing will be priced over $100, so here’s a chance to buy some affordable art from LA’s upcoming artists.  I’ll be there, and  admission is FREE!  The second event at Safari Sam’s will be on March 13 at 6PM.  It’s a benefit for George Tabb, tickets are $20 and go towards a great cause.
