A few months ago I came up with a new design for the Gorilla Stickers. After almost 8 years it was time for the hairy beast to evolve a bit. I first released this new ape via a couple of paintings (see below), and then recently the stencil version was let loose in the city.
Keep an eye out in 2011…it’s only a matter of time before the new Gorilla Stickers, T-shirts, etc…start showing their face too.

MUSIC IN THE VIDEO ARTIST: White Arrows ALBUM: Coming Or Going (RAC Mix) Single SONG: Coming Or Going (RAC Mix)
A few months ago my friend Creeping Elm introduced to the tunes of the WHITE ARROWS and they’ve been echoing off my studio walls ever since. Originating in NY and now calling LA home, this is definitely a band I’m looking forward to checking out once I get back to Socal. The song in the video, “Coming Or Going (RAC Mix)”, along with the rest of the White Arrows discography is available on their website here. The White Arrows can also be found in the following places: http://www.myspace.com/whitearrows http://twitter.com/whitearrows http://www.facebook.com/whitearrows
ART IN THE VIDEO The three gorilla paintings were inspired by a stencil I made about a month ago. Rather than just letting the beast live out on the streets of Buenos Aires, I thought I’d domesticate him and let him live on indoor walls.

This piece started as a commission based off of the original Orange Gorilla painting I did earlier in the year. The commission fell through but still thought it was a piece worth finishing.

I was overdue for a gorilla painting…and even more so for an orange one.
Music In The Video Sweden has its share of bands making serious noise these days. Out of the mix one of my definite faves is Johnossi, a duo out of Stockholm, consisting of John Engelbert (songwriter, singer, guitarist) and Oskar “Ossi” Bonde (drummer, percussionist, singer). Fresh off the release of their third album Mavericks, their tunes are bouncing off my studio walls more and more. The song in the video, “Man Must Dance” can be found on their self-titled debut album (Amazon, iTunes).
