Recent pieces along with a new mural I painted near my apartment in Humboldt Park

The first piece you see here was another rehashing of one of my idols Hunter S. Thompson. In order to create it I used a sheet of peg board and then pasted on sheets of phonebook paper. From here it was quite a fun splattering of paint and then the placing of the stencil which I had drawn and cut out. 

This next piece was created on a canvas in the same style as the H.S.T. piece. The only difference was I ripped away part of the painted paper and then designed the birds flying in the sky.

This is a piece I painted at Summer Camp Music Festival this year. This piece was inspired by the band STS9. It is painted in spray paints and acrylic paints on flat canvas which I temporarily stretched while the music was being performed. After the set was over I am able to pull down the piece and roll it up for easier portability.

This piece was created as a test piece for the large mural I painted down the street from my  apartment. This piece is a stencil I drew up and cut. It is painted on a canvas which I found in an alley where someone had thrown it out.

This is my newest mural going into the summer. It is created by Hand made stencils and spray paint. It stands approximately 4.5ft.  tall. It is located at Maplewood and Hirsch in Chicago Il in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. The location is an outdoor gallery entitle Uncle Art.
