Update?

I know its been a while and seems as though I've gone MIA with art.  Truth is, its true, I haven't painted in a while.  A huge part of it is because I am going on a trip of a lifetime in July to Tahiti.  I've also been doing other things other than paint, exploring life if you will. 

However, another good news is that I still have the drive to sketch and create in my black book.  When I get back from my travels, I have huge plans and surprises for those who've been keeping their eyes peeled, I promise.

Here is the latest:

Painting: Untitled 8x12

Painting: Silverback 12x12

Tune-In

Please keep your eyes peeled for a newer line of work. 2012 will be promising!

Event: Needle to the Groove

Its been a while, but this is the next and upcoming event:

NEEDLE TO THE GROOVE.

I am blessed to be a part of this twice-a-month art/music event.

Immerse yourself in this open gallery, these sick grooves,

as well as LIVE ART.

The works of Shorty Greene, Lok, rKim and myself will be showcased.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Event: Jammin' at 31 Rax

Unfortunately, I don't have very many pictures of this Jam Sesh.

Was a good night - great night! What a crazy talented, not to mention,

diverse line-up. Rappers, poets, musicians, comedians, lol.

A very welcoming crowd, & I'm always happy to paint for Ms. 31 Rax, Steph Madrinan.

And Ingrid, might I say you did a swell job at helping organize the event.

Dope job everyone.

Dance: Nemenzo Annual Holiday Show

In addition to music making, graphic designing, & painting - above all else,

I enjoy exerting my energy into Tahitian dance.

Almost 3-4 times a week am I at the studio soaking more than choreo.

And lets keep it real, if its one thing that humbles me the hell out at an overwhelming state of mind, it's this. I'm very blessed to learn what I have, nonetheless to learn with my Ori Tahiti group, Nemenzo. Every year, Nemenzo hosts an Annual Holiday Show -

I commend all my friends for pulling it off despite the mayhem behind the curtain,

we indisputably pull through for each other no matter the circumstance.

(Shout out to the Ori Tahito group - you girls really put on an amazing performance despite our shortcomings. Hats off to you, yo!)

Meherio (Mermaid dance) with Anthony Peets!

Ori Tahito Group, opening otea!

Favorite drummer & soon to be drummer

Mauruuru Roa to those who came out to support & to the blessing in my life, Nemenzo.
