MWM X LTD : Azul Math Tee.

Available for just one week at : LTDTEE. Act now! Enjoy :)

Versus Exhibition : Bristol, UK.

Honored to be featured in the Versus Exhibition at Start The Bus Gallery (Bristol, UK). The 18 Artist/Designer/Illustrator Group Show is a fundraiser for a Bristol Troubled Youth's Charity. The line up of International Artists is insane : Watch Video for a preview. And Purchase Posters online to support this great charity effort.
My contribution. A crispy blend of Sacred Geometry and abstracted Compass Rose. Definitely a fun one to design, especially since the color palette was defined before any of us began working. Having this unique color combination across all 18 Artworks really unifies the series. Thanks again to all involved. Great work! Click-Zoom.

Paris Mural : Le Finale.

Boom. MEGA. Definitely the tallest Mural I've ever painted. 4 very long days. Really excited with how it came together. The 3 Murals are in 3 different cities, but they are actually one big interlocking piece in the end. The Marseille Mural builds from the left (Hot Colors & Geometry) and the Lyon Mural builds from the right (Cold Colors and Organic Flow) and they meet here in Paris and blend together on this wall. The two waves meet with equal force, but different aesthetics, and splash all the way up here on this wall. It will be an amazing build in the Video that drops in a couple weeks! Click-Zoom.
This wall was a fun challenge in many ways. Most of the time I was painting way up on a Cherry Picker, and I couldn't see much of the wall from up there. Imagine painting a big canvas 3 inches from your face. My process evolved into a Chess Strategy. I'd go to the ground, step back, plot my next 10 moves, and return to the air. It was a blast.
Here's a bird's eye view from the top. Sky High YO!

France Mural Tour : The Dream Team.

Big UP to the Walls Are Dancing France Crew! For the past 3 weeks while I've been on my Mural Marathon (Marseille, Lyon, Paris) painting like a mad man, these folks have been working around the clock to make sure the production ran seamlessly. We had Rain, Bullet Trains, 160 Gallons of Paint, a Cherry Picker and Ladders, a Dozen High-Tech Cameras shooting Still and Video. We had Great Meals, Drinks, and Laughs. We had Pranks and Jokes. I learned some more French and taught these guys a few things about American Slang. We had Challenges and Solutions. We had a lot of FUN! *Credits - Paint Sponsor : Dulux Valentine. Agency : BETC. Film Agency : Cosa. Film Crew : Le Groupuscule. Logistics : Since. Web : Upian. Music : Monsieur Monsieur. 3 Murals : Your's Truly.
My end of this Trifecta Collaboration is done now. The Murals are painted, the Visuals are completed. Now it is time for The DJ and The Film Crew to chop up all of their footage (~1/2 Million Stop Motion Photos. Ha!) and sync some fresh Music to the Video. In the end we'll have one hell of a 3 Mural Timelapse Music Video. Stay tuned!
