Cowabung-oonies!

Hey you GUYS!!!
I'm in 2 new tribute art group shows, courtesy of the fantastical Autumn Society!

AWESOME Poster collab by Chogrin/Edwin Vazquez/Bobby O'herlihy/Glen Brogan


1st up is my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle piece for Brave New Worlds in Philly.

The title of my piece is Chris' Raph, and it is a tribute to my elementary/high school friend Chris Ellis, who recently passed away.

In 5th Grade, my pals & I: Chris, Ryan Hill, Ron Puga, Frank Stevens, Brian Reyes would pretend to be the Turtles and various other characters from the comics & cartoon and create our own ninjatastic scenarios out on the school yard. I was Leonardo, Ryan was Michelangelo, Ron was Donatello, and Chris was Raphael, or Raph as we called him. I'm not 100% sure, but I vaguely remember Frank as Master Splinter & Brian as Shredder.

The piece kind of came out sorta zen for me to do, and I'd like to think Chris was right there watching me draw as he did when we were kids. He was a spectacular artist too, as were/are the rest of my pals then & now. I remember Ryan & I coming up w/ a beastie boys-like rap about the TMNT too.

Ah, youth.

Here's to you Chris! I miss you buddy.

Second up, is my sorta nsfw piece for the Ultra RAD, Goontastic Goonies themed show in Astoria, Oregon (where Goonies was actually filmed!) at Lunar Boy Gallery!

Bad Ass poster by ?


My piece is appropriately (or un-appropriately) titled, "My Mom's Most Favorite Piece!"

It's my teeny (heh) tribute to the part in Goonies when Chunk accidentally breaks off a piece of Mikey's mom's favorite replica of the statue of David.

I'd like to send a shout out to Joe Game, aka: Chogrin, for curating such amazing group shows that I am very proud to be a part of! Thanks Joe!

I'd also like to point y'all in the direction of my girlfriend Ava Alamshah's new blog: Your Friend, Ava. It's pretty awesome & cute, and I helped her out w/ sprucing it up a bit, code/design wise. :)

It's our time down here,

"Very Cool"


According to Bill S. Preston, Esq aka: Sir Alex Winter, he thinks my B&T post-it piece for Gallery 1988's Autumn Society 3B Show is "VERY COOL"!

I think that's pretty cool too.

You should beat him in purchasing the above, aforementioned piece, dudes.

Great Scott!


3 B Poster Art by Glen Brogan



"1.21"


"Xs 3"


"69!"

I had a ton of fun creating these 80s inspired post it note pieces for The Autumn Society's very awesome 3 B Show at Gallery 1988's new Venice location.

3 B stands for the holy trinity: Back to the Future, Beetlejuice, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure!

I couldn't make the opening due to family obligations, but I do plan on stopping by sometime before the show ends by June 3rd.

I wanna thank the ultra talented Joe Game aka: Chogrin for curating this amazingly themed group show and letting me be a part of it!

The great poster above is by Glen Brogan, check out his work cause it's AWESOME!

If any of you are interested in purchasing one of my pieces, or some of the other artists in the show's pieces (GO LOOK at ALL THE AWESOME!), head on over here:
