DUCE Paints Live @ GOLDWELL Award Show

I was invited to paint live during the 2013 GOLWELL COLOR ZOOM AWARDS at the NOKIA theater in down town Los Angeles. I painted for an entire hour at the very beginning of the show and then came out again in the middle of a show to draw a dress on transparent plexy glass to crate the illusion that I was actually drawing the dress on the model that was standing  behind it. I will post those pictures later. A big thanks goes out to Kathleen and Kevin for bringing me on board for this project.

Cox Farms Monster Bus

Todays challenge was to convert this bus into a monster bus, Jenn  and I took up the challenge and by the looks of the monster gator I think we Monster-fied this bus.

Space ship rock in Virginia at Cox farms

Working on this spaceship was quite of challenge due to the different angles, its massive scale and  slanted hill side. I enjoyed working 12 hour days in the hot and humid climate of Virginia, listening to noises coming from the forrest.

New Edward Sharpe Mural by: DUCE

Last Year I was asked to paint the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros album cover on the left of the first picture at the bottom. One year later Edward sharp releases a new album and I got to paint their album cover again. The art work is located on Fairfax in between Melrose and Beverly across the street from Supreme skate shop.

TRON ONE REST IN PEACE

TRON was a child hood friend of mine who was writing graffiti and exploring the city before I ever did. I remembered that he had some of the dopes  hand styles in the late 80's. He became the 5th member to join the GAW CREW. He was a very positive individual that was caring giving and had a golden heart. Rest In Peace my dear friend... Your name will not be forgotten I will make sure of it!
