More Speedy Graffiti at the Ricoh Graph Expo, 2012
More footage of me drawing graffiti names at the Expo in 2012!
A New Way for Politics?
Just an idea but, maybe it’s time for something outside the box, I call it “Show me.” You want my vote, show me why! Put yourself on camera and let me watch you do what you do. Cameras have become so small and sophisticated that they could never be an intrusion into any public servants […]
The Wynwood Experience
If you could consider for one second the idea that inspiration is a drug and that without it you could go completely mental and develop the shakes, then you’d be the type to consider places and things that will provide that fix- and quick! If you haven’t heard about the word on the street just […]
Erni Vales is EVL!
I am not evil but I am EVL. EVL is Erni Vales Limited. It’s also a play on words. EVL is the basis for most of my style: from my graffiti- always bold, mean, strong- carries over to my canvas as well. Here I was really feeling the concept of origami or the whole folded […]
BKLYN.
Finally have gotten some time to invest into digitizing many of my older and lost pieces and here is an outline I have been really wanting to clean and re-release. It’s a piece that is pure 3D and has none of the abstractions and background interactions that many of my newer graffiti pieces have. The […]
Janet’s Piece
This painting was originally titled “Tattoo Back” It was a painting i really loved. It hung in my tiny apt. on 29th street until i ran into my good friend Janet, NYC police officer, completely gay, and one of my best friends! After running into her on a NYC drunken 3AM stupor she offered me […]
SS
ok, so i believe the actual photographer of the original photo is Sante De’ Orazio and if i spelled that wrong, my apologies. I have always been drawn to beautiful photography, who hasn’t? Pretty pretty people, a sharp lens and “wow!’ great shot! Me personally I try to change up the view of the photographer […]
XO Fish
So here I am in the 2nd showing of paintings for a 13 part series, I had really no feedback yet except that people were really digging the misfits and that series and I was hoping there was enough of a graffiti aficionado crowd to sustain a graffiti show but alas, there was no Kaws, […]
Flower Tatts Girl
“Flower Tatts Girl” prints now available, this is a piece I did long ago in the mid 90’s. It’s enamels on canvas but I never had a good pic of it so I couldnt make it availble but now that i’m decent (at best) on photoshop My for. used and This too ! cheap viagra […]
A Day at the Capital
The plan was, get to NYC from Miami, spend the night, up really early and catch a train to visit DC to see 2 of my American flag installations, one at America Eats Tavern, a Jose Andres restaurant which I am a self proclaimed fan of this creative and master chef ! Before that though […]
$
Money, the root of EVL? I’ts a theme that will definitely repeat during the course of “An Unusual Journey”. Money, everyone loves it, everyone needs it, everyone wants it! I struggled with piece though, sometimes i have a very clear image in my head about a painting and that’s rarely what I end up with. […]
Cafiena, my Wynwood oasis
Wynwood is not really known just yet for having a plethora of dining choices, especially on a warm Monday afternoon so when i found Cafiena serving lunch in its outdoor patio i thought, yay! I love Cafiena from its owners to its staff to its food and creativity with its rotating gallery exhibits, its truly […]
Rhino-Suareses, 2011
Once again the letter R makes its appearance. This was so you can view 2 paintings, completely different of each other yet created from the same letter. I wanted to show how different one letter can be treated, the Rhino conveniently beginning with the letter I was portraying was just lucky coincidence. The animal worked […]
The R. 2011
Certain letters in general are more challenging than others, which is why they appear often in my paintings. I chose the “R” to do both as origami as well as animal because it moves more freely in my mind. To me it can be sexy or aggressive and this piece I wanted mean. It’s an […]
Tatts 2011
Poor little Tatts, all he wanted after a rough day was to sneak into a dark alley, have a drink and some smokes just to contemplate life but his peace would be interrupted by the bright spotlight of the local authorities. Could the day get worse?
