Urban Renewal

Here are some shots of a wall I painted at Urban Outfitters in Costa Mesa. It is located in a back hallway so it isn't visible to anyone besides employees. It gave me a chance to really get down with some spray paints and sparked a new love affair for the medium. I will definitely be incorporating aerosols into my future work.

Top secret projects in development

Here is a detail from a piece I just finished today...

...and several details from a project that has been in the works for some time. It will be my largest format piece to date. I got to take my time and be very experimental with it, so it was a real learning experience.

Both of these will be posted in full on my website after the 25th!
