I still have had the pleasure of performing a few live gigs this year while I was living back in Richmond Virginia. On February 16th I started a collaborative piece with Miles Minnix during musical sets by Futexture and Silo Effect at the Canal Club in Richmond. On the 22nd, Miles and I continued our collaboration at the Canal Club during musical sets by All Good Funk Alliance and Fort Know Five. Here is the final piece we created!

In many of the cities I have visited over the years, art walks have become a popular avenue to integrate art into the community, producing a creative and social environment. This is a great way to discover new artists and meet people in and out of the art world. In Richmond Virginia where I grew up, "First Fridays" art walk has been held every first Friday of the month since I can remember. All the galleries in town open up to the public for viewing the newest bodies of work on display. During the months of March and April I was asked to performance paint in front of the public during First Fridays at H3ads Up clothing store. Here is one of the pieces I produced on the evening of March 1st at Richmond Virginia's First Fridays.

Throughout my winter reflection I also started to sketch with pen much more. I have started a photo album on Facebook that I will be constantly updating. Check out the album here.
Over the course of spring I received a number of commission requests and the opportunity to collaborate with a skateboard company. Here are the images of the new works from my springtime production.
