Weeping Indian with Joyns

Got to paint with my bestest homie Joyns last week. Made a weeping indian for all the real weeping indians down on 4th st.

Take that New York Art Culture

Joe Delappe just forwarded me this article in the NY Times about the Dada Hotel project. It's a dense story with a slideshow to boot. So what are you doing? Check it out!

A bit of background //
The Dada Hotel was the brain child of neon-anarchist Jeff Johnson and artist gone tweety Chad Sorg. Together they've been cultivating Reno's crop through alternative venues such as hotels (read, derelict drug dens).

The El Cortez became the official batcave 3 years ago and they've been having the annual Dada Hotel there ever since. However the list of collaborative artists is growing and the overflow is crossing Arlington to nearby hotels and motels.

So what's next for Johnson and Sorg? At this rate we may see the making of 'Mr. Tumbleweeds Takes Washington'.

Carnel Collab @ The Fort

Worked on a dawn to dusk mural with plastic camera turned iPhone jailbreak bird, Chris Carnel. Had no idea what was going on with this one but like how it turned out. The portraits are of the 3 residents that have work spaces inside. On the left is Deux Gros Nez founder and bike aficianodo, Tim Helion. The center is the sign painter extraordinaire and super rad Renoite, Ron Rash (should've done blonde hair and blue eyes but...). And on the end is Nevada hot spring hunter, cave spelunker, snow and skate photographer, Chris Carnel. The mural is at the Tour de Nez HQ, or better known as The Fort, found out at the end of Dickerson Road.
