TOBY LAND!!!!

One day this will become a real amusement park! But for now, it’s an amazing Prismatic Vista card in Magic: The Gathering!

I love this Black, Red, and Off-White painting which helps celebrate Toby’s 21st Birthday this year!

- This is one of 5 special Toby’s Journey @wizards_magic @mtgsecretlair cards, part of the “Cats Are the Best” Superdrop!

THIS SUNDAY from 9am-4pm!!!
CicLAvia is taking over HOLLYWOOD BLVD!
Come join @ciclavia as they OPEN the streets from East Hollywood to West Hollywood, to allow everyone to ride BIKES, roller skates, skateboards, walk and run, without the worry of CARS or motor vehicles!!

Come collect one our limited edition T-Shirts or Pins!!! I had to drawing my kittens Beverly & Fairfax biking around!!!

I loved collaborating on the CicLAvia-Meet the Hollywoods event! I grew up riding my bike in my Hollywood adjacent neighborhood of Fairfax, and there was no two more Hollywood than my real little kittens, Beverly & Fairfax, to represent our open street ride from East to West Hollywood. I imagined on this magic day, all the Hollywood Stars that normally line the
boulevard, coming off their permanent homes on the sidewalk, putting on their rollerskates, gathering their skateboards and bikes, and joining in the neighborhood ride with the community.

See you this SUNDAY!!!

MY LOVE FOR MUSSO & FRANK’S! In my latest exhibit

MY LOVE FOR MUSSO & FRANK’S!

In my latest exhibition, OFF THE MENU, only one restaurant had 4 of my Dining & Drawing art pieces, done in real time during a meal on their menu, and it was @mussoandfrankgrill ❤️🖤🔥
Either spending an evening sitting at the bar or booth, the entire night feels iconic, surrounds by the Spirits of Hollywood.

Each one of these drawings is a special memory!
The irony of the success of my exhibition at @johniescoffeeshop was that I ended up so exhausted engaging with all the wonderful visitors and collectors, I would pass out at night and haven’t been back to Musso’s in a bit.
I’m hungry to return soon!

FEELING NOSTALGIC.

Remembering the time, out of college, broke, living in the Fairfax District, longing for NYC, needing to prove myself, developing my portfolio, dreaming to make a living as an artist, and driven.

CATCH THE WIND! Perfect Summer Swim Collection wit

CATCH THE WIND!
Perfect Summer Swim Collection with @arrels_apresswim in Barcelona!

These images came from my mini-exhibition Itchykoo Park about “Freeing one’s Mind, Freeing own’s Soul, Expanding our self’s from this limited Universe!”

Here’s one of the shirts Arrel’s produced for Europe, but there are few places you can find the collection in the States.

My characters, Bosko, Toby, Disko, are racing in the bittersweet attempt to catch the wind!
Lyrics from one of my favorite Donovan’s songs.

“In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand, along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind”

CHOUCHOU LOVE at SMORGASBURG LA’S 10th Anniversary

CHOUCHOU LOVE at SMORGASBURG
LA’S 10th Anniversary Celebration!!

I teamed up with @smorgasburgla to create a playful t-shirt celebrating a decade of deliciousness.
Whenever I wander through Smorgasburg, it feels like I’m surrounded by dozens of passion projects
—food artists sharing their creations, one bite at a time. Since making art can be a wonderfully messy adventure, I painted my creature ChouChou (who takes away fear and hate) enjoying a meal so much that he ends up with the bowl on his head.
Come celebrate 10 years of food, community, and creativity-and be among the first to wear this deliciously messy creation
