A day painting in Brooklyn (Video)

I painted this wall piece at a friends brownstone in Brooklyn. It’s kind of a tradition now for me to paint on her walls every couple of years.

Hello All our Creatives, Friends & Fans!
Its that time again, The Ukre8 Community brings you the next installment of The VS Project LIVE!

In January we had 2 artists compete in a Japanese Art style.
This time we are mixing it up! We will have four artists in this creative challenge & We are using a bracket system to determine this events’ champion! The audience will be more involved and help with deciding the direction of our theme.

Even though we are featuring 4 artists, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring your sketch book and show off you skills too!

The Artist Process
This past Sunday I had the pleasure of participating in the second part of The Artist Process. A little ago I took part in the video documentary portion, which was amazing as well. So on Sunday the majority of Artist involved got together at 5 Pointz in Long Island City, Queens. The Person responsible for this entire project is M2 a.k.a. Marthalicia of M-Squared Art Productions. Anybody who knows this lady knows the talent she holds. Truly inspiring. It was a great day to be out painting amongst some of NY most talented individuals. Many thanks to Flor Mancha for grabbing the camera and documenting while I painted!
