Many thanks to all who made it out to the Giant Robot in LA for the opening of “Realms“. I am so sad that I couldn’t make it down as I had been planning, but work called. Elsa and Ako presented some fantastic work and there was a great turnout of friends, fans and family. Here’s a link to Eric Nakamura’s blog post, along with some great pictures that I wish I was in. If there’s a break in the action around here, I would love to make it down to see this show in person before it ends on May 11th.

Along with some drawings and paintings, I included these new pen & ink on vintage paper pieces. The paper came from an ollld scrapbook I found some years ago at an antique shop. Very delicate stuff, but I love the contrast!

With Ako Castuera and Elsa Mora. I’ve been planning this trip for a month, but I’m sad to say that I will not be attending the opening after all. I would SO love to have made it down there for this one but my workload simply won’t allow it. I picked up a huge job at the beginning of the month and my schedule’s been laid out since. It’s a very exciting job, but I’ve signed an NDA so details will have to wait. ;)

I love the Giant Robot and will be there in spirit. Hopefully you can all make it out and have some fun for me this evening. I was really looking forward to meeting Elsa and Ako, seeing my friends at GR and taking in some fresh art.. not to mention getting some SUN. PDX is breaking all the wrong records this winter (wiki: Rain).

If you are in LA be sure to stop by!
