MOM & POPism (updated on 8/22/11)

Collaboration work with my fellow artist Ryan Lombardi is featured in this new book "MOM&POPism" from James&Karla.
 
Description(Amazon)
New York City store fronts have never looked better. Photographers James and Karla Murray reinterpret the shops from their bestselling book Store Front - The Disappearing Face of New York with the help of top street and graffiti artists. These time-worn institutions were reproduced at close to life-size scale and then painted over by artists such as Blanco, Lady Pink, Zoltron, Dave Cooper and Billi Kid during an art installation presented by Gawker Artists on the Gawker Media roof, with the NYC skyline as its backdrop. This unique exhibition has been immortalized in the form of a playful accordion-fold board book that can be arranged to display a unique street view display of store fronts. The book documents the completed artwork, but also includes interviews with the artists and a fascinating look at the works in progress. In addition, the Murrays share the story behind the massive project and explain their concept. Mom & Popism is the perfect souvenir of NYC.      
 
This Book is also available through Amazon

Urban AdvenTours Truck(updated on 6/28/11)

Dana and I got commissioned to paint the Urban AdvenTours' truck.
If you are in Boston, I'm sure some of you may bump into this truck in the City, but if not, Dana has some photos of our painting process(from the beginning to the end)  and also some detail shots on his website, and you can at least have better idea about what the truck looks like after we painted.   
 
The truck is all hand painted, no vinyl used.
