Man… The Preconceived Notions show we did last night (Thursday Nov 19th) was bananas! The line up was insane artist-wise, and I got to meet some awesome new faces, as well as kick it with some downright cool ass peeps. We got there a tad late, but I set up as fast as possible to start hittin the canvas. (Big ups to the homie Chris de Leon for pickin up my easel) Here’s my sketch going into the show: (Titled – It’s Not Just for the Birds)

And here’s what it looks like now:
Most of the time, I’m content with leaving a live piece as it is when the event finishes. I almost view it like a performance: What you do live in front of people is what you’re left with. But this time the concept was too good for me to leave it as is. I won’t post this in my Traditional gallery till I work it over some more, so hopefully in the next few days I can share a more complete piece with you guys. All in all, I’m really happy with the work SO FAR, and JToddO gave me a great compliment saying it was the best thing he’s ever seen me paint. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 
I didn’t get a chance to take a lot of photos since I was so engraved in the piece (Shit, I didn’t even drink that night!), but I do have a few snaps you can catch in my Photo section. If you got any photos, and wanna send em up to me so I can post them up (you’ll receive credit of course), get at me via electronic mail <nick@individualcollective.com> and I’ll put them up ASAP.
