thanks to everyone who made my trip to ny so amazing! restitution press going all city. jonas, toyin ryan graeff and jonas lara. allison sommers and tran nguyen its amazing when you blog saying you are going to ny then hours later you receive emails inviting you to paint walls across town. if only that can happen in my home town.
so a couple of months ago osgemeos sent me an email giving me props. I cant tell you how happy i was to see someone you looked up since day one dropping an email. even tho i was on cloud 9 there was something in the back of my mind telling me that this could be someone's idea of a joke. his email is not on web so it's impossible to find out if its really them. i remember when ashley wood emailed me and i didn't respond the first time around because i didn't believe it was him. I went to san diego for the Viva la RevoluciĆ³n show and was eager solve this email mystery. i am back on cloud 9!!!
one of the brother drew a character for me, while the other wrote "parabens pelo trabalho" they told me it meant "congratulation on your work"
here's there piece in front of the museum. sucks that you couldn't take pics inside. amanda and a josh piece drawing of marisol with red ballpoint pen and white chalk. I will be having a show at jonathan levine gallery in NY on august 4th. here are 2 of the close ups. if you are around the area swing by.
