Body Paint at LA FASHION WEEK

Did some fun stuff last week, the Los Angeles Fashion week was happening and I took a part of the The Model Experience at 1010 Wilshire rooftop. I painted Jenny's body in my space galatic clouds, what a beautiful canvas to work on! Photos by Aris

My neighbor took apart her loft and gave me this 35 x 60 inches panel. This painting should be munted high so its healing vibrations rain down upon the viewers in a Δ shape.

Downtown photos

I was on a new assignment recently, taking photos of my neighborhood. I feel like Downtown LA is really interesting in the early morning hours, right at sunrise. This was fun! Here are few of them. The biker is my friend Marco Zamora who lives down the street.

Blue Dream

Life study.

SEEKER HANDS

Hello Seeker!

Continuing with painting on paper I did these Seeker Hands. Ancient alchemy is represented here in celestial symbology. Starting with thumb are: Mount Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo, and Mercury. Within both dimensions there is a pair of eyes looking at the viewer.

Passing by

Sunny late morning, I'm in the garden working. A silhouette begin to slowly materialise right in front of my eyes.

"Don't mind me, I'm just passing by." 

She said and walked toward the synth-plant. Her monocular headset gave out a warm yellow glow. 

"Are you lost?" I asked.  

"Yes, what time is it?

"11: 35... in the morning." I replied.

She took few steps back and begin to disappear as fast as she showed up earlier. I stood there for a minute staring at the synth-plant. This one looked healthy, full yellow and all panels functioning. Somewhere near by an old song was playing accompanied by a bird. 

The Long Tomorrow

I have been working a lot on these science fiction themes with large synthetic environments and these coral-looking plants. This one is in my drawing book that I carry around daily. Mixed media: acrylic and pencil.

Thieving Magpie

I did another mural on a rooftop here in the Historic Downtown Los Angeles. Its located on the top of the King Edward Building in the Upper Skid Row area. Magpies are known to steal shiny objects, such as a pearl necklace like the one I did here. I have been exploring the dimensional silhouettes in my recent works, filling them with galaxies and spaced themed imagery. This mural is visible from few surrounding buildings.

Velo-City mural

Did this mural here In Downtown Los Angeles in the Toy District. Its on a bicycle warehouse where I buy parts for my bikes. 

Natura

New painting! I really wanted to paint a nice green piece with a strong positive message. She is part of the natural word and seamlessly blends into the world that surrounds her. It its sort of strange to see a green face, however when its embedded in the forrest it looks very NATURAL. I feel like the picture doesn't do its justice, it looks really nice in person.

GALAXY EYES

Another mural on 5th Street in Downtown Los Angeles! She is part human part machine looking into the center of our galaxy. She represents what we will be in not so distant future or what most likely we were in our ancient past...far out! Doing art on the edge of Skid Row in the old Historic Core exposes my work to a greater audiance. By greater I mean people who don't go to galleries and on everyday basis are just coping to survive in this still rough neighborhood. I'm very pleased with the overwhelmingly great response from the local 5th street foot traffic.
