Jazz-Minh is another of my successful art friends, who I met at Cal State Long Beach. I used to host artist retreats in the local mountains (called "Snow Show"), where a bunch of artists would spend a weekend in a cabin lodge, making art, music, and friends, then displaying their work on the walls. I remember Jazz-Minh would always be sketching people as they socialized. She was always so good at capturing a person's personality in their gesture. She was recenlty featured as a contestant on Bravo's art reality show, "Work of Art" (season two).

This is the website of hotel I stayed in when visiting Brazil in 2006. I give a slideshow of my adventures to my 6th grade students after they complete their rainforest watercolor project. If you ever get the chance to go to the amazon, stay in this hotel. It was an unbelievable experience.

This is my web comic site featuring comics and art relating to my series, Shelby and the Blooms. I have a very busy schedule, so I won't be able to post new work on a regular basis, but check back from time to time to see new stuff!

This is my friend's website. He is a graphic designer for SDS Skateboards. He basically designs most of the skate decks that you see on this website. His name is Mark, and I went to art school with him.

This is another of my art friends. His name is Steve (you can see him in the upper left corner of his site), and he is quite a funny character. Like the others, I met him while taking art classes at Cal State Long Beach. He owns and operates his own business painting custom designs on shoes. His work has been featured in numerous magazines and some shows.

This is a page where you can see all of Google's past doodles (the Google logo designed in a creative way). It's a great reference if you're trying to come up with some creative lettering for a project (birthday card, presentation board, etc.).

Kiel is the undisputed "King of Cardboard". His fascinating works are made almost entirely out of paper products (mostly cardboard). He has a very technical, yet whimsical style. I met him while attending Cal State University Long Beach while I was setting up a solo show. He was the gallery manager at the time.

This is another good artist friend of mine. He has what I call a "post-apocalyptic-surf-punk" style to his work. I love how he uses found objects both as visual reference and sculptural material. It represents meaningful icons that remind him of his past. We both had a sculpture show together at the PAS Gallery in Fullerton in May, 2012.

This is the website for Caine's Arcade. Cain is a 9-year old boy who's dad owns an auto parts shop in East L.A. Cain is a very inventive boy, and has created an entire arcade system using cardboard boxes. I saw a short documentary about him , and I look forward to bringing my wife and son to Caine's Arcade to play some games. Check out his site, and maybe you can visit him!

I met Feo at art school while attending Cal State Long Beach. He and I both received our BFAs (Bachelor of Fine Arts) degrees the same year. He went on to get his MFA (Master of Fine Arts) at Claremont College. More recently, he gained a lot of recognition when he became represented by the Mark Moore Gallery in Culver City.
