A bit more about "Fresh Meat":
If you haven't experienced it yet, "Fresh Meat" isn't your typical immersive VR piece. It’s a playful, satirical horror-thriller designed to entertain and engage audiences through interactive storytelling and vibrant visuals. My amazing team and I created this experience to blend humor, thrills, and sharp cultural commentary into a uniquely enjoyable and memorable adventure.
We've already seen wonderful responses from screening audiences and immersive experience enthusiasts, thanks to the collaborative efforts of some incredibly talented artists and technologists. Recognition at the Auggie Awards would be an amazing validation of our creative vision and the hard work we've put into making "Fresh Meat" both fun and meaningful.

Thank you so much for your support—it means the world to me!

I have another piece that I wanted to share with you that I created on a shoot that featured different localities in my hometown of Los Angeles.
Originally this was part of a bigger piece of work. I took two friends of mine who modeled and asked them to do a little project with me where the two of them would run around town chasing each other stealing back and forth from each other this mysterious red suitcase. It was more just an opportunity to showcase different places in the city that I see a lot or I just happened to think looked cool that day in that light. It was a shoot where I had an idea but not a plan (not what I get to do when I work for clients) and I had fun with it and went with the flow. Good times.
The project was called "The Case". This particular photo is classic downtown Los Angeles in the Arts District. I had a really fantastic model (thank you Alma), who here was actually just adjusting her shoe -- it wasn't part of the shoot or anything. I was setting up the next shot with the other model at the time and turned around to see this and captured it. I love this image, though, because it's an organic moment, and I captured the environment of the time with all the authentic wheatpasting that was there just before street art became something people sold in art auction houses.
I hope you enjoy this image and the story behind it! If you want to make it yours you can find it here

I am posting about another piece in my online journal (can I just say here that I strongly dislike the word “blog”? I use it because it is part of our language but I think there are much prettier words to describe the same thing... but I digress...)
This piece is one of my favorites because it was a whole lot of wonderful things coming together all at once. I had an old friend who was about to say “I do”. He had an incredible day before him. Friends and family had flown in from all over to watch him to promise to love and cherish forever, to really put his heart in that vulnerable place of making a promise without knowing what the future would bring—because none of us in all our incompleteness knows what tomorrow will bring. He stared at the water below the cliff he stood on and it was such a perfect metaphor for what he was about to go through...
You know the feeling. Existing on the brink of a decisive moment. You know after this that things will not be the same. Take one last look over that ledge and leap (or not).
Another bit about this piece that is especially meaningful for me is that it was in a satellite show of Art Basil Miami, which I attended as a featured artist, and in which I experienced the exquisite embarrassment of being interviewed on television unexpectedly and having no idea what to say! Also, this piece was featured in an art book entitled "A Meditation on Place".
I really hope you like it and if you want to buy it, it is available on my webshop here

This particular image is about the percentage of human vs. machine/technology that we allow ourselves to become.
Can you see the percentage symbol in it? It comes from a photograph of a piece of machinery nonetheless...
We are surrounded by technology everyday, and—especially these days—it seems like more and more things are becoming an online experience instead of an in real life experience. At the art show where I displayed this piece I wrote next to it: What percentage of our humanity is eaten up by the machine? We are all heavily influenced by what surrounds us. So, if because of the circumstances of your life you were surrounded by computers, cars, phones and other technological machines, how much of you is becoming them? Is that who you want to be? If not, take (at least some of) you back.
This piece is part of my Cinematic Outtakes series, which are pieces that were left over from a shoot that I did for an internationally distributed, independent film. Undisputedly, this is my favorite client that I've ever worked for and there was a lot of love that went into this shoot.
Incidentally, the actual title of this piece is: % (How much are you being who you want to be?). But Etsy said I couldn't have % as the first character in the title (in case you see the piece there).
This piece is available in my online shop here

Back story: Originally this piece was commissioned by a street artist who wanted to have some of my work for wheat pasting. This was right after Prince had died, and I was taking it really hard (still am sometimes). I had just started to really appreciate his work and had been getting into his latest music at the time. Prince has meant a lot to me artistically. When I get lost, I often turn to his work to inspire me again. It hurts to not have his voice around during these dark times.
After sending this piece to my street artist friend in Germany I never was able to actually see how people liked it. I just made it and sent it off into the digital ether. I mean, my friend loved it and he told me he pasted it up right away, but that was the only person I knew had seen it. So, I decided to also feature this piece in a pop up last-minute art show I did with another friend and I was really blown away to see people's reactions to it. Prince means a lot to me as an artist, and I wanted to honor his life and legacy and most of all what he stood for.
I feel like these words of his really hit the nail on the head of what his heart was all about and the way he tried to live his life and inspire the rest of us.
The poster print that I am featuring here in my shop has a partly glossy, partly matte finish—the idea is that this will make it easier to see the details of the piece. It is a digital drawing done completely by my hand on an iPad. It is of the late, great Prince and features some quotes from him. He lived a very inspiring life and my hope is that this artwork reminds anyone who sees it to also live a brave life.
