My first real charity event of the year .. Please read There are many poor villages across Africa which lack means of transportation where people must travel by foot, many miles to gather supplies, go to school, and work (See: http://youtu.be/sVdb5bl5z2s) The foundation raises money to fund the local production of these special Buffalo Bicycles across different parts of Africa. Our goal is to raise $15,000 between now and the end of the evening of the event. Accomplishing this goal will allow for us to send 100 bicycles and set up 12 field mechanics in an African village. To help raise $ for the event we've been connecting with local businesses to sponsor the event. If you or anyone else is interested in donating to the cause you can visit The Method Makers website and click the Donate Now link, that follows to the contribution page. $134 gets a brand new bicycle to a villager in need, but anything helps. The story of how this event came together was recently published on the World Bicycle Relief Website: http://worldbicyclerelief.org/blog/entry/method-makers-art-event-befits-world-bicycle-relief At the event we will be serving wine & beer all night. From 9-10 there will be live music by Secret Sidewalk; http://secretsidewalk.tumblr.com/ During the evening we'll have artwork from 10 + artists in our gallery. There will also be live painting & sketching during the show. 100% of proceeds go the The World Bicycle Relief effort. My submission for OIM : Diary of a Scapegoat art show at Classic Cars West in Oakland.

I wanted to practice on my spraypainting skillz so I did this piece from a sketch I did posted below from my moleskin sketchbook to spraycans on canvas. I wasn't sure if I like this piece at first but I ended up really liking it.
I did this painting live based on my sketches at Half Moon Bay, CA for Knew Grove New Years event by Project Knew Groove. Painting is going to be a work in progress ..
I always like drawing women but never really incorporated them that much on paintings .. so I was brainstorming one day and started sketching and came up with this concept and design. I ended up really liking it and hope to do more with this on paintings.
