I had an art opening first friday in December to show what I have been working on lately. It's an installation at the Base gallery in the bottom floor of the Leedy Volkous Art Center. The show will be up until the end of January 2012 Baltimore.
A while ago I participated in a kustom kulture fashion show called UnScene. I was planning on just sending models down the runway in all black with my pieces as the highlight. I got asked to model for a fellow designer in the show, so we actually decided to collaborate as well as have me model for her clothes. I requested I to be put in a Punk Rods dress to represent for the car club im prospecting with. We were both very proud of the end result. I pinstriped handbags and shoes to match her dresses, and I also pinstriped some pieces for her to screenprint onto each piece of clothing. Over the course of preparing for this show I gained a great friend and colleague I absolutely adore her work. Each piece she creates is custom fitted to the model, (or you, she can make something out of whatever you want!) Check her stuff out at saumfrock.com
Couple of weekends ago, I was a vendor at the Gear Grinder carshow in my hometown of Kansas City, MO. Saturday turned out a pretty decent crowd, I was painting all day. The show was held at Knuckleheads, a very fun venue.

Here is my biscayne, her name is Karmilla she got to KC about three weeks ago. There is already hours of work put into it, although you may not be able to tell that yet, but its coming together. I ripped all the nasty interior out and vacuumed out all the dead wasps nest from the interior trim. She sat in a barn for about 8 years so you can imagine the dirt factor. I pinstriped part of the dash last week....pictures to come soon!
I know I am the worst at updating my blog.....so here is a few photos of some recent work. I also am the proud owner of a 59 biscayne now, so that takes up a lot of my time, I will post photos of the progression on that as well!
