Group Shot
CHI-TOWN was good to me, had a chance to walk the city and embrace the culture. Millennium Park was a plus with that enormous silver bean koons like sculpture piece- i defianately went to town with my camera on that thing. 

The AC3 traveling show was awesome located in Chinatown district@ Art Revolution Gallery. The Art and people were very chill and had a great vibe going on- i had chance to hang with artist Artek and exchange dialogue about the differences in art and culture which was refreshing. For the most part, overall i had an great experience hanging and soaking what Chicago and it's energy had to offer. Thanks Chi-Town for a lovely night!!!
 




Next on the list. New York @ The Hole, Bowery District

Here's a trailer of the event.

I had a chance to meet with several of the other artist involved in this traveling art show.

This definitely started with a bang, a great send-off to start the tour. I am really stoked to be a part of it!!! 

I also left a video link at the bottom of the page to share some studio time with you guys: the making of Ratonhnhaké:ton, aka Connor Assassins Creed 3. Enjoy!!!

@ THE TORRANCE ART MUSEUM
80 Days: A Declaration of Customs
A hypothetical touring exhibition of one-night-only presentations – each in a different country, 12 in all, over 80 days - that will showcase the original LA based artists selected and adding a new artist from each location worldwide where the exhibition was to be presented. The original project was cancelled due to logistical funding issues and this show is a response to the financial difficulties affecting artists and their ability to exhibit abroad in economically challenged times.

Portraits of the Fallen Memorial Project







For our heroes, Greg Gagarin.  I am very honored to participate in the 
Portraits of the Fallen Memorial. 

The Purpose of the memorial is to commemorate the sacrifice of those American Military service 
members from California who have died while serving their country during the wars in 
Afghanistan and Iraq. The memorial  identify each fallen soldier with an artists rendering of the soldiers image.



This project was founded just one year ago and has already received over 100
portraits from some of the finest Southern California Artists. The first preview
exhibition was held for Veterans Day 2011 at the Terry Moore Gallery in Los Angeles
coupled with the first digital presentation.

Curator Sherry Moore matches an artist with a photograph of one of one of our fallen
troops. The artist creates a painted portrait of the fallen hero. To date there are 685
Californians who have lost their lives in support of our great country.

This project will include not only the development of a permanent structure, but also
the first digital interactive war memorial. It is expected to ultimately expand to be
nationwide and will be in Museums and other very exciting public venues across the
country.








My Hero, Greg Gagarin laid to rest



Filipino-American Staff Sergeant Greg Phil Gagarin of the U.S.  who was killed in action when an improvised explosive device went off last June 3 in Thania, Iraq, was accorded a 21–gun salute by the U.S. honor guards during the burial rites.
He also received from the U.S. Armed Forces the posthumous Bronze Star Medal, the fourth highest U.S. military award for gallantry in action, and the Purple Heart medal in recognition of his valor and dedication to duty.
