“Tribute Hall” at Tippling Hall, Chicago
I must confess, I was very excited when my partners at the new Tippling Hall spot in Chicago gave me free reign in the long corridor that leads to the restrooms. They wanted me to just throw down some old school graffiti, make it entertaining was all they asked because the corridor is long. The […]
Blogournal – Basel 2014 Edition
The Art Basel celebration that invades, takes over and dominates the first week of December in Miami has finally passed!

Ricoh Graph Graff Expo, Chicago, 2012
Graffiti names done live at the Ricoh Solutions booth during the 2012 Graph Expo. In the middle of super copiers and technology, there I was, armed with just a bunch of markers! I drew almost 200 names in the 4 days there, and had a great time doing it.
A New Way for Politics?

I love Cafiena from its owners to its staff to its food and creativity with its rotating gallery exhibits, its truly […]
Bimini Crickets!

It being my first time on a small boat that I actually knew everyone on boat (I think my last boating experience was on the Staten Island Ferry) so I was really excited. Well that excitement quickly turned to […]
May 2012 Art Walk
May 13th, Miami. After a whirlwind month (almost a month) juggling my exhibit and pop up shop at Chelsea Market, murals at the 2 NYC Mercadito restaurants and another private residential mural with my dysfunctional family i found myself too wiped out to even attempt any new paintings back in Miami so i decided to […]
