April and May have been busy and exciting months for group shows, 6 of them! All of which I’m honored and proud to be a part of. The most recent being one of my favorite annual group shows, Gag Me with a Toon. This is the 5th installment of the show, co-curated by Steven Daily and Tomi Monstre, and my 3rd year of participation. The Show opened at WWA Gallery in Culver City on May 4th and runs through June 1st. This year I chose to paint the biggest asshole of all Eternia / Don Rickles of villians, Skeletor. You can view the entire show HERE
“I Must Possess All, or I Possess Nothing”-Skeletor
May 3rd was the opening of The Fantastic 50, at 111 Minna Gallery, here in home base San Francisco. The show was curated by Irene Hernandez-Fieks of Wonderland SF. if you’ve ever been to 111 Minna you know it’s a huge space, and the entire thing is filled with beautiful works hand picked by a good eye, Kudos Irene! The show runs through the month of May.
My contribution to the show is “The New Biology Coccinellidae”
Also in San Francisco, at Varnish Fine Art, is Decade-1, a show celebrating their ten year anniversary. Co-owners Jen Rogers and Kerri Stephens consistently put together shows of the highest caliber, whether group or solo, and this is one more that proves why they are ten years deep and stronger than ever.

My two contributions for the show are “Lucky Strike 15-Sting” (top) and “Lucky Strike 16-Internal Combustion” (above)

Number 8 in my Lucky Strike series is now available as a limited edition print. Not only do wasps do a great job of scaring the shit out of you, some of them are also decent at pollinating. Few creatures are able to make a creature 50x its size run from them screaming like a little girl while doing Mother Nature’s happy work. So here’s to the W.A.S.P. (we are superior predators/pollinators) limited edition of 50, 12×22″, and available HERE in my store.
Cheers!
