I’ve decided to start a new series of Las Vegas themed art. Las Vegas has been my adopted home since moving from Oakland, CA to Las Vegas, NV in 2012. I would like to express my experience living in a city that has an interesting and unique history in the 1900s and how this city is on the rise in the 2000s.

Here are a few works in progress:

I had the privilege of speaking with talented local Las Vegas artist Amber Curry Young about her style, sources of inspiration and favorite mediums.

I went up for a short hike at Mt Charleston which is about 45 min drive from Las Vegas. It is always great to get out into the fresh air and nature. It really is a great source of artistic inspiration.

I just started a new YouTube channel, please check it out and subscribe for art related vids including interviews with local artists.

I stopped by some art galleries while visiting Sedona, AZ. Here is a quick look around one of them. Lots of paintings, photos and sculptures.

I had the pleasure of meeting an artist named Mandy Joy at her gallery Obsidian Fine Art inside the Arts Factory in Las Vegas, NV. She is creating some really amazing and meaningful art. In the interview we cover how she got into art, her current projects and future plans.

I just took a trip down to Sedona, AZ to run a marathon. The weather was amazing and the natural beauty here is abundant. My weekend in Arizona was very inspiring and the energy acquired on this trip will no doubt show up in my paintings.

Here is a quick timelapse I filmed while working on an 8×10″ canvas.

This painting is available in my ART SHOP

Welcome to the new year! This year I plan to try out some new mediums besides just acrylic paint. I am excited for what the future holds. I would like to update this blog at least 3 times a month with my art thoughts and ramblings. I will also be working on some new video content. Best of luck to you in whatever you plan to accomplish this year!

Here is one of my favorite paintings I did recently, experimenting with masking tape

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

Hope you all are having a great holiday season!

Here is a new video where I tour some of the coolest murals in Downtown Las Vegas, NV.

I just started a new YouTube channel. My first video is an interview with an extremely talented Las Vegas artist who has a very uncommon style. Check it out and subscribe for more videos like this coming out soon!
