Liquid Gold.

I recently purchased a new set of Holbein Gouache to pick up where I left off on my ongoing Hexagon Series. Now it's time for the fun details. Gouache is an amazing paint to work with. Super strong pigment, vibrant color mixing (without mudding), and it dries fast. I think of it as a water-based rival to xylene-based 1 Shot Enamel, except it is more forgiving and less toxic. Stay tuned.

OFFF Festival 2011 : Barcelona.

I've just confirmed as a speaker at OFFF 2011 in Barcelona. This is double dipped in awesome. My favorite Design Festival, in one of my favorite cities, during the Mediterranean Summer. YES!
I gave an in-depth "Thus Far" Slideshow Presentation at OFFF 2009 in Oieras, Portugal. So for this next one I'll have to prep a "Since Then" Lecture. Looking forward to it. Thanks Guys!

Things Seen & Places Been.

The Green Telecaster.

AUX played an awesome set at the Middle East on Saturday night. Here's a shot of James rocking out on the Green Guitar from our recent Telecaster Series. Good times. Great tunes! *The Red Guitar and some Effects Pedals are still available for sale. Learn More.

Sprocket Ships In Orbit.

Here's a preview of a recent vector illustration. A psychedelic tribute to Cycling, Symmetry, and Optical Illusions. Playing off of the vibe of my Momentum Poster Series from last Summer, with the raw monochrome vibe of This One and These. It's always a fun challenge to work in B/W and let contrast define the piece. Click-Zoom.
And here's a closer look at the hyper crisp details. Click-Zoom.

MWM X Chiarelli : Rock N' Roll Series.

Excited to share news of this recent collaboration with my friend James Chiarelli. We've been working since June, and everything is now ready to rock. 3 hand-painted Telecasters and 9 effects pedals.
The Guitars are available completed with Fender standard series necks, Jason Lollar pickups, and vintage style Fender hardware. Hand-painted by yours truly. Click-Zoom.
Contact for pricing and availability. *Worldwide shipping is available.
"The Tele is a design that in many ways hasn’t changed since the 50’s. It is the “work truck” of guitars. Not as seductive as the Les Paul or the Stratocaster, but it is second to none when it comes to function. Joe Strummer, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard are all associated with the utilitarian Telecaster." -Chiarelli
Painting the set of 9 pedals as puzzle pieces was fun. Each is available on it's own. But why not grab 3 in a row of different effects? Available Effects : Fuzzface, Jordan Bosston fuzz pedals, and DOD Overdrive 250. Click-Zoom.
"The pedals are hand built using true-bypass switches, high quality jacks, and NOS transistors. All of the parts were chosen for sound rather than economics. The transistors in each pedal are to the circuit board so the user can try different transistors for varying tonalities. I chose circuits that are pretty explosive sounding. For example, the Fuzzface is most closely associated with Jimi Hendrix." -Chiarelli
View Slideshow of our process in my Painting Studio and James's Workshop. Really fun project. Big Thanks to James. And a Big Cheers to everyone who creates great Rock N' Roll music!
