I pretty much only update this thing a few times a year but it’s worth mentioning that I’m now living in Shenzhen, China. Here are some fun photoshops.
Shenzhen
Studioark Amanacliq Group Show
Recently had some work on display at some thing in some place. The name was Amanacliq 2017, was pretty cool and here are some photos of my stuff there. You can find out more about Studioark Shanghai or read more about the event here.
Photo Studio Painted Backdrop
I painted a huge backdrop for a photo shoot at central studios recently, it was about 3 meters by 3 meters. Here's the mock-up next to the finished product.
Murals for a Coffee Supply Store
The mock ups next to the finished pieces, some were slightly changed... turns out yellow doesn't show up well against a gray background. Oh and the pizza man got nixed.
POR-NO group show November 11
Friday, November 11 I'll be participating in a group show called POR-NO. Here's the flyer, along with one of my pieces for the show.
Portrait A Day Project 2016
I started doing a portrait a day on September 28th. Here are some of the first batch.
'Chinese Whispers' event
Curated by Paper Stone Scissors, and Now&Them, 'Chinese Whispers' was a recent project I took part in that put writers and visual artists together to tell a 20 part story. The story started with one writer, who wrote one page. It was then up to the next writer to continue the story, on and on until all 20 had contributed. Each section of the story was then given to an artist and it was up to them to interpret it visually. I decided to do a collage illustration of the section I was given.
Show Flyer Design
Recent illustration/flyer I did.

Silk Initiative Office Paintings
I recently found out about a small company called the Silk Initiative. They are a really interesting business that helps brands (especially food and beverage brands) communicate their messages and sell their products in China. Their office is an incredibly cozy little space tucked away in a residential area somewhere along the fringe of Jingan. I was lucky enough to get connected with them through a friend of a friend and paint their logo, as well as their Chinese characters on the wall.
Street people charity pieces
Occasionally someone will ask me to make some art (or offer up some old work) for a charity event. These range from the discombobulated, unorganized house-party vibe events, up to the gala ball-esq looking ones and everything in between. Either way though it's a good cause (unless I'm somehow being swindled). I was recently asked to make a few pieces with 'Shanghai' loosely offered up as the theme. Here's what I came up with.
SIZE MATTERS Group Show
Sorry to my handful of readers who had to go almost a year without a web update from me, I'm sure it was an unbearable wait. Anyway, going to get caught up on some stuff that I've been doing.
MAY 8, Helped organize and take part in a pretty cool little group show at Fly Streetwear. The name and theme of the show was "Size Matters," all artists left to interpret that as they saw fit. Interesting range of people involved and MIC magazine even made a cool video clip of the event which you can check out here:

Mao Illustrations for a Freelance Project
I did some Mao illustrations for a group art show. No printer in Shanghai would print them though so I couldn't take part in the show. People are still a little edgy about using Mao's image in China.
Thanks
Amounts Solo Show
A sold out show with tons of great people, thank you so much to everyone who made it out to see my work
