bicycle series

** These paintings and more are currently

new and improved...

i started this painting in 2008 but have never been satisfied with it.. i've come close on several occasions to just painting over the whole thing and making something else. i recently however, decided to give it one last chance and made some significant modifications to this piece. i am finally happy with the color tone and overall mood of the painting. one of the main components of this painting is the rodent, an animal more typically viewed as dirty and worthless. the accompaniment of the tree and it's role in the painting however, are meant to be seen as symbols of growth and life. my intent of these is to convey a sense of hope in what is could be seen as more rough around the edges.

burnside skatepark

porltand, or

in all it's glory... located under burnside bridge in portland,or, this skatepark is an iconic spot, known worldwide in the skating community. it was founded and built by locals in the 90s with their own blood, sweat, and tears...the city doesn't run or pay for any part of it, but has the power to shut it down at any time if the peace is disturbed. the locals are somewhat territorial and protective of it for obvious reasons.

WOMEN of the WORLD

in an attempt to bring light to women's rights/issues, i have begun a series of portraits of women all over the world. exact countries/origins of the women are not necessarily meant to be known by these portraits, but rather to show a solidarity of women of many backgrounds.

a while back i found this photo online and decided to recreate it in pencil. however, upon completing the drawing and doing some research on the photo, i found out that it was originally part of an art piece/series done by a woman named shirin neshat, so i must give credit to her. shirin neshat is originally from iran, but now lives in new york. her works explore issues of her native society, particularly women's rights.

the close of a c h a p t e r....

after almost 3 months living on the road with the TOMS vagabond tour, thirteen individuals from all over the country returned to california to finish the epic journey we began so many months ago. from the palm motel, to the corners of america, we have all seen, experienced, and grown more than we ever imagined. lives and been touched, relationships have been built, memories have been made, and almost 5000 children will receive shoes. on our last day together, we watched the sun set on venice beach.

from florida to alabama...

i just finished reading an awesome book called "vagabonding" by rolf potts. he writes about the art of long-term travel, and how traveling isn't just a series of random endeavors, but rather a lifestyle and a way of looking at the world around us. Many go out "in search of the light," he says, while failing to notice all the "light that is surrounding us." the book provides tips, tricks, and advice for the road, but focuses greatly on the deeper journey within our souls.

i just spent the past two weeks in Florida. new favorite city: gainesville, fl. :) i also celebrated my 23rd birthday there. today we landed in mobile, al...

bone yard beach, bull's island

i feel that these pictures will never do justice for what i really saw on the beach on bull's island. after a miserable hike through the swamp, we saw a light at the end of the tunnel and this is what we found. bone yard beach was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. there were massive trees coming out of the ocean like i have never seen before. mind-boggling!

bull's island...

charleston, sc.....a.k.a. the african jungle

so we took a ferry to bull's island in charleston, sc. let me just say that here i saw some of the most incredible sights i have ever seen with my own eyes. when we got off the boat, we literally hiked through this swamp for a couple of miles. we made it out alive through "alligator alley," where we saw 6 live alligators within a few feet of us. but the alligators were nothing compared to the swarms of mosquitos that surrounded us most of the way in. it was so bad i hardly stopped to take photos in the swamp.
