3 MONTHS LATER!

Mission...ALMOST...Complete.
Yahoo!...ALMOST Travel time!

Corinna and I are in the finishing stages of work here at Luna's Castle. 4 days left...for now.
Looks like we will be flown back to Panama City from Guatemala in January for a couple weeks to provide the finishing touches on a major renovation, before we fly home in Early February.
We are in the midst of framing and hanging the last handful of pieces, solidifying our promotional materials, documenting all aspects and tidying up loose ends.
What a trip!
Here's a picture of me out in the street showing the Presidential Policia some of the paintings I did of them. I had some help hauling them off the walls and out into the middle of the road for them to see. At first they thought I was crazy for sure, but they couldn't stop looking at them. Alexis' smile tells it all. At least I didn't get arrested...again.
Thanks for the photo skills Corinna.
And YES, that is a Whistler Podium Auto Detail shirt I have on.
Luna's Castle is a truly amazing place, and when you travel throughout Central America, you will undoubtedly here stories about how people come here and stay a while. Many people overnighting it, end up here for a week or more. I get a little wild sometimes and the 160 vodka jello shooters I made the other night to toss around for good measure, certainly don't hurt the fun-o-meter, not to mention it's so damn hot, everyones nearly naked!

What Luna's lacks in a natural outback setting, it makes up for with gigantic space to move around, a jungle courtyard, lazy hammock breezeway, big screen movie theatre, free internet, timely laundry service, new guitars, bad ass art, panoramic ocean and city views and super rad vibes. Panama City is a modern hub and great jumping off point to South America and many awesome surf locations, islands and jungle treks.
Check out these little cuties we found on Isla Taboga, a 45 minute ferry ride from here.
Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
Yeah! The ones the natives used the poison from to tip their blowdart points for hunting.

Fiddler Crab
These little guys are reeeeeaaaaal darn fast and beautiful saturated reds, purples and yellows.

Central American Smooth Gecko
We found this guy in an old Army War Bunker on a hike. He's 10 inches long!

Redrump Tarantula
Actually....a little bigger than the size of my palm. On the trail at our feet.

A DIVERSE PORTFOLIO

Be careful what you paint for................
When Realism is boring...
When Impressionism is unimpressed...
When Graffiti is shit...
When Lowbrow isn't soooo cool anymore...
And Nobrow never made it...
When Shepard Fairey rises from the dead...
When Juxtapoz is read by ceo's of The World Bank...
When Street Art is everywhere...
When Banksy is a gay martian...
When Abstract is totally untalented...

Heck!...he said to me..."ANYONE CAN THROW PAINT AT A BLOODY CANVAS!"...
I responded, "I agree...but the difference is...I just did...you didn't!"...
I had to repeat myself to him more than once until he got it.
He was pissed, but he heard what I said and really understood.
He just didn't see why, but now he did.
By the end of the conversation, he thanked me. REALLY THANKED ME!
He never looked at art that way before.
For his first 35 years of his life, he missed the point of art.
That's the difference...
I JUST DID!..YOU DIDN'T...an artist knows and does what he does because "I JUST DID"
So when all those genres, categories, trends, classes, qualities, styles, subjects, directions, and reasons for art, have been rehashed, redone, overworked, undervalued, overvalued, undermined, and promoted to shit, stolen, borrowed, copied, defaced, hated, loved, bought, sold, and burned...
I'll be proud to say I have NO STYLE...NO GENRE...
and ONE REASON...
PEACE!

"WORLD PEACE"-OCT 3rd 2008 - 36"x48" - SOLD
This painting was done as the global economy began to collapse, in hopes that the 75 + people from over 16 countries who signed it, could maybe help spiritually offset the damage the Reptilian Greed Mongers are doing to their own children, among others.

There are two major coincidences in this work that became apparent after I finished it.
1) It has eight rays outward...Buddhism...but let's not get tooooo religious here.
QUESTION AUTHORITY!

2) The entire piece is actually one gigantic peace symbol, aside from the 33 obvious ones.

"FREEFLOW" - 16"x20" - SOLD
There are those among us who have completely lost control morally, financially, economically, and rationally...so if you know one of these people...please print this image and give it to them for a gift, free of charge. SMILE!



"PRESIDENTIAL POLICIA" - 36"x48" - SOLD
Believe me; he wishes it was not this way. I am sure the ring on his finger tells the same story.
The fact is, there's just too many dangerous people out there who don't get it.



"SPIDERS ANKLES IN PLAID" - 48"x36" - SOLD
There is no style. There is no category. You either love it, or you don't.


"BEES KNEES IN PLAID" - 48"x36" - SOLD
LOVE IT?



"REBIRTH CACOON" - 36"x48" - SOLD
This is the after effect of death...the new life!


"AFTERLIFE" - 36"x48" - SOLD
Because we're all just energy.


"FUTURE PULSE" - 24"x36" - SOLD
Everything is gonna be all right.


"LIFE BLOOD" - 24"x36" - SOLD
Stay focused, realign the path, think positive and love yourself.
Love your energy!

Thank You for taking the time to view my work, read my blog, and don't eat money even if it's all you have!

PEACE!

CODE OF CREATION

BAIL INTO THE CREATIVE REVOLUTION!

Everyone hates math, so here it is...don't be a hater.
Controversy and sex sell. I have a girlfriend, so here's the other.
$700,000,000,000 -bailout
divided by 400 (approx.) the # of paintings I have at my disposal
equals $1,750,000,000 which is the price I would have to sell each painting for, to cover this soon-to-be-bigger mess than it already is.

After 3o hours of work, this painting tells a lot.

"$700 Billion bailout for only $100,000.00" - 36"x48" - "FOR SALE" $100,000.00

So this painting is only $100,000.00. It is "for sale" and we figure it is one hell of a screaming deal for that lucky person with a significantly smaller amount than $700,000,000,000, who wants a non-polluting, emission-free, tangible investment sure to become a valuable short-term and long-term reward.
Barely chump change for the right buyer and I guarantee I will personally deliver it to you anywhere, worldwide to ensure it's safe, mortgage-free, no-catch arrival at your doorstep.

If nearly everyone in the world didn't bite the baitless mortgage/loan/finance/economic money hook the savages threw in when life was cherry, no one would be in this position and we would never be on the brink of....wait for it..........
on a bigger, badder, more serious scale than any point in recent history..........

"A CREATIVE REVOLUTION"
Here it comes!!!!!!!
WHY?
When this economic situation has leveled out, millions of people worldwide will be affected. They will be forced to think about business differently, view issues far more creatively, see one another on a more empathetic level. People will find new creative outlets to live the new way they may have never experienced.
There IS more to life than money.
Many people associated with penthouse suites, stock markets, 10 bedroom homes, global portfolios, Armani suits(trademark), board meetings, Rolex(trademark), 3 meals out, triple Manhattan martinis, diamond cuff links, day trading, Rolls-Royce (trademark), and 7am-6pm forget to view the world from an angle other than standing atop a stack of 100's.
Creativity is a vast interconnected energy that once tapped into will bring about new, exciting patterns, freedoms, realities and truths.
Creativity, once accepted and utilized is uplifting, entertaining, rational and persistent.
Everyone has it in them, some just forgot to follow this path.

GET CREATIVE........SHOW SOME LOVE!!!!!
Think outside the box
Don't eat money even if it's all you have
and PLEASE.............buy the above painting.

Here are the other piece I have created in the last 2 weeks. ENJOY!
