THE MAKING OF QUEEN OF THE DAMNED FOR ETERNAL SHOW

First of all, I apologize for the crappy quality of these shots. They were taken in the lighting of a dungeonesque type room with an iphone and an underwater camera. I will post professional shots of both the paintings as soon as I receive them from the shows professional photogs. Also this painting is not finished in any of these photos. Finished piece will be up soon.

P.S. I know the name of the piece is not that original, but it was the best I can do under such short notice :)

THE MAKING OF THE ZOMBETTES FOR THE ETERNAL SHOW

The Zombettes were a hit at the show. I was doing some research to find the perfect zombie and found a few of one particular girl at a zombie walk in some random city. Anyways, she was a great muse for this painting. Hopefully she will find it one day and appreciate it.

THE ETERNAL RETURN SHOW

Hopefully most of you got to make it out to this show. (Just goes to show what a bad blogger I am, I am posting this after the matter. But it's mostly to document that it happened.) There were about 500 of you at the show so the turnout was overwhelmingly good.

It was an amazing show, and all you guys made it an awesome night. What can I say about the Mattson 2? They are a very talented band and always a crowd pleaser. There will be more shows down the pipeline at the Light Box. We'll make sure to keep you all posted.

Thanks for coming out.

WOOSTER COLLECTIVE AND FORMAT MAG COVERAGE

So stoked that we got coverage in two amazing sites that I commonly go to for inspiration and research. Thanks to amazing friends, without you this wouldn't have been possible. Check out the time lapse if you already haven't. It's below this post.

EL CAMINO X EXIST 81 X TOCAYO

Here's a time lapse Exist 81 put together of us painting the El Camino restaurant. It's only the beginning. We'll probably have a few more of these time lapses up soon. Also, don't forget to check out the restaurant. It is open for business. El Camino has two locations: South Park and Little Italy. Do it. Peace and love... Tocayo-
