Found these on my external hard drive today. I scanned these a while back from an old issue of Choppers magazine or something. I have been contemplating using the icons and layout as the basis of a new series. My paintings never follow a “plan” but could be magically rad.
I’m not suggesting you subscribe to this publication because they gave me a spot in the project page of book 2, or David Jien a spread in book 1, or because you will definitely see other friends of mine in future issues. I’m suggesting a subscription to B/D because they are truly on point with contemporary art. The rag is manned by a select few magicians and sorceresses that conjure a beautiful archival vat of creations.
I will have a few pieces in an upcoming show at POVevolving Gallery.
POVevolving is pleased to present a group show by guest curator Yasmine Mohseni. The Pop
of Colors examines the use of pop colors in contemporary art through a series of work created
especially for this exhibition by seven emerging artists. The bold synthetic color palette of groundbreaking Pop Art figures like Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg have entered the
collective consciousness and no longer stands out as revolutionary. Rather, the use of lime
greens, bright yellows, and electric blues has become common, even banal. Pop colors can be
seen all around us from mundane advertising to high fashion. Yet, artists continue to reinvent
ways in which they see the world through innovative applications of pop color. Whether it’s the
subtle use of bright hues or an aggressive all-over approach, the exhibiting artists use color as both a conceptual and decorative tool.
Jessalyn Haggenjos’ installations juxtapose monochromatic organic sculpture with paint pours
of explosive synthetic colors, a duality that conveys both the beauty and contamination of the
American landscape. Painter and installation artist Amir H. Fallah’s instinctive use of intrepid
purples, oranges and yellows set the stage for compositions that engage in the artist’s personal
memories. Multi-media artist Mark Schoening’s first foray in color results in dramatic abstract
compositions that investigate the natural beauty and harmony that come from relinquishing
control to chaos. Stella Lai structured compositions utilize color to create a bright and beautiful
surface luring the viewer into dark and, at times, violent themes.
The show will feature original work by Amir. H Fallah, Clark Goolsby, Jessalyn Haggenjos, Stella
Lai, Jason Redwood, Mark Schoening and Mike Swaney.
My friend Jesse told me about this movie last night. Oh my this will be a glorious cinematic adventure.

Russian Snowboard magazine titled, Doski, just posted an interview i did with them in their online magazine. The mag seems pretty cool from the looks of the other article’s pictures but I don’t read Russian.
