Here is a little acrylic and pencils painting that started out as a life study.

Los Angeles Plain Air Festival

I took a part of the Los Angeles Plain Air Festival that mainly took place around my own backyard - Downtown. It was a fun event that pushed me out of my studio and into the elements of outdoors, we were "roughing it". I painted this cool fire escape right here on Spring Street, there is some graffiti on it that has been running almost a decade. The painting turned out great, I love it, and it got me 1st place in the acrylic category, woot! Its painted on wood and size is 24 x 48 inches, available: mikolajone@yahoo.com

Hands Mural

I just painted another mural, this time its in the Arts District. Two hands guarding the Colyton and 5th corner. This is on a cool new Arts District Flea market walls, which I helped out with identity and signage.

GRAWN cover

Gallery Row Art Walk News decided to hire me to do a cover for their Latest health themed issue. The cover art is mine interpretation of healthy Downtown should look like.

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.

Down And Out rolldown

Working again for my favourite Sports Bar in Downtown. This time I had to get back to the old school days and spray paint on a rolldown gate, legally. I created this logo while back for them. This gate looks more appealing now.

NUMBERS MAKE CENTS SUMMER PARTY

Its a collaboration between Ham and Eggs Tavern here in DTLA and our company NMC.  Please visit for our full summer line: Numbers Make Cents and come to the event at the super cool and brand new Ham and Eggs Tavern

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.

Gumby's new body.

Custom work is our specialty, dialed to clients specs. We don't get often high profile clients. Gumby jumped space twice to fit his new body, he is going full synthetic this time. Its almost ready, growing mature in a matter of hours.

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.

Galaxy Building - painting on black paper.

I have this paper laying around and I thought that I should try out a new surface. Acrylic on black paper.
