Front page news! This GBLT publication in Columbus, Oh, my hometown. They choose to use my robot mural. Big ups to OutLook Media & Coreroc! Yawl awesome.
My small obsession with birds has spoken strong in my paintings over the last few years. I grew up with a great grandfather that was a bird breeder and had a huge cockatoo that roamed my childhood house freely. That said it wasn’t until I did a UV collabo painting with Cyrus Fire that changed it as an element of my artwork. The first piece above is titled Jawbreaker and turned into our collaborative name as a 2 man surface wrecking machine. The rest of the images are close ups of some of other birds that have been created since.
The GCAC was kind enough to write up the first artist profile ever on a slightly known Columbus graffiti artist all to kick off the Columbus2oo celebration.
These images are from the annual Agora Fire Show that was a collaborative effort between Kristina Isabelle and Coreroc along with a team of dancers and fire safety experts. Utilizing the combustible properties of the aerosol paint I used to create the main mural imagery I then ingnite on fire while adding layers to degrade the wall and add some special effects. The photos are random pics from the last 3 years.
Speaking of Old School here is a random selection of walls from way back in the day. Cameos with Cas/Wands of Tm7, Metro Asf, Esk, and my Judges wall with Cope2, Indie, and T-Kid from Write 4 Gold USA 2006.
As I sort through my hard drive I found some old school 3d works I created with a variety of materials. Anything from skateboards, basswood, vinyl toys, resin, miniatures, and beyond. These were just a few of my favorites for days past.

Take a vintage opaque 3d projector, a graffiti artist, a stellar photographer and lock them into the secret studio for a few hours and out comes a great reflection of self.
Hot off the sd card is this portrait set shot by Craig Bortmas in my new secret studio location. The only concept was dark shots and otherwise we played with a really funky old 3d projector which I will post photos from later on.

For a lack of better terms this is why I love my job as an artist and my fetish for surface shape and texture. It allows my exploration of body painting and photography into full overdrive. Working acrylics and oil based paint markers on the flesh covering a childhood of sports injury scars this will be the next in a series of paintings for a coffee table book that I will continue working on over the next few years one sexy body at a time.
This is what happens when you ask me to be involved with a performance art piece at the biggest fetish party in Columbus, Ohio. I bring the Army of Won heat with custom boy briefs and a live body painting demo that defied artist model relations. These are my favorite images from the tame section of the performances that show off the girls in some of my gas masks. Image rights found in water marks and the models are Button le Bouton and CoCo Loupe.
In the process of performance based body painting at TRAUMA 2011 in collaboration with CoCo Loupe and Jim Maneri’s Flypaper headlining the main stage. Dancers were working sculptural poses while I shaped body curves and muscle structure in black and contrasting bold colors. All dancers are wearing custom Army of Won boy breifs made just for TRAUMA. Photo credits can be found in the water marks.
This is the last/most recent painting from the spectacle series based upon my favorite local celebs and models that wear glasses. This painting titled “Make Yourself A Spectacle” is a great moment captured in a photo shoot with Cherry La Voix. The original photograph was taken by Robert Trautman in 2011. This painting is 20 x 28 and 90 percent aerosol and stencils with some hand drawn line work in pigment inks.
