Muchmore's


Recently was invited to show my work at Muchmore's
Muchmore’s is a music venue, bar and coffee house located in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We host events each night, and don’t limit ourselves to music, but also host stand-up comedy, debates, festivals, open mics, film forums, theater, visual art, lectures, performance art, poetry, improv, you name it. We pride ourselves on providing a home for events that might be too avant garde or out of the mainstream to find a home at other venues, and for fostering a creative community around the space that doesn’t really exist at other venues.

Will be exhibiting the Divided Line series
No official reception, but drop by for a drink tonight (Thursday, dec 5th) if you're in the area (2 Havemeyer, Williamsburg).


Along with Divided Line updated the website with the rest of the work from 2013:
Departure
Detach
as well as Intuition and Hypothesis

Saturdays 2:30 - 5 pm @ 2 Havemeyer st, in Williamsburg

Below are sketches of 2, 5, 10, 20 minute poses, some later overpainted and/or drawn over:

Anti/Anti

Had the pleasure of working with a design agency Anti/Anti to help create a piece for a show
Image of the Studio / A Portrait of New York City Graphic Design
Featuring over 75 current NYC graphic design studios @ 41 Cooper Gallery, Cooper Union.
More details & info on the site.

The idea was to create an epic parody over the top portrait of the 4 members, and so it turned out to be this preppy conan the barbarian/donald trump/zoolander man erected in front of the hell freezing over and pigs flying, presented in a rather excessive golden frame...

Had a lot of fun with this project, and have to say it felt pretty unusual being the humorous one out of the batch.
