Passion for the Christ

Well back in two thousand three my friend Shepard Fairey (obeygiant.com) and I both got head hunted to do graphics for Mel Gibson's theatrical depiction of the last twelve hours of the life of Jesus before His death. Anyhow, because of a movie marketing fubar... our art projects never surfaced the big screen. they did however sit in our hard drives for years with a good chance of going with us to the grave... anyhow, i will not let that happen and this season as a novice artist I kindly asked Shepard for the rights to represent this project again.. with that said, here are some screenshots of one of the styles in which will soon be a silk screened poster... be on the look out.. 

ever since first seeing Shepards' radicals portraits in his San Diego BLK/MRKT office... i have always wanted to get him to do a picture of my favorite radical.. Jesus.. well, thanks to Mr. Mel Gibson - it finally got done.. 

found this from when my boy danny and Will played at my art show last last december. invisible God we trust

two years ago.. a bit old but classic.. A great night with live screen printing from yours truly, dirty drums all night from mike and danny, and massive inspiration via screen prints and paintings for our friends and family.

 keep posted as we're past due for another show. Godspeed. Danny Barragan is beating a vintage rogers set / custom with invisible God logo and willow aka the Gaslamp killer is spinning some rare beats in the back....  Will has always DJ'd my fashion and art shows from the past when i had my store and Danny I met way back through mike russell aka MHE / MRR / dirtydrums.com 

the second to last show... a few months ago

with mike russell, ian decerbo, and our good friend will - aka, the gaslamp killer.. located next to the gaslamp.. at bar basic.  the show was called analog and was based on all things analog, specifically of things that make noise.. i was the "special guest"

the photos are of some of my silkscreened works plus ian's work in white and mike's art in rust.  the show was successful in that we all sold art in San Diego, and many peoples eyes were open to the invisble. i made a few pieces specifically for the show and all of which were either sold or given away... the pink shirt was quoted by my favorite friend and drummer mike russell who pretty much chops up all my favorite drums. i made that shirt for my girlfriend.. hmm what else.. oh i sold my lolo jones painting as well..."if you can't make it over all ten, then you don't deserve to be the champion" - lolo

CREATED TO CREATE

Some friends of mine started a posse called "BFC" -- BORDERS for CHRIST. Tonight they are having a premiere of their new video and a fundraiser to raise money for their next missions trip to Egypt where they desire to give out a hundred skateboards to the kids of egypt. a good friend Vince is going so I (along with Pro skaters richard mulder (stussy, chocolate,  heel bruise) and Lance Mountian (Bones Brigade, Firm, Nike SB) donated some art to help them raise funds for the trip. i'll post some photos of some of my paintings that sold and some that didn't. hopefully they raise the 13k they need. thanks for the radios.
