House Heads and Blood Sucking Santas


This morning was spent painting tiny houses on top of people's heads. Also put the finishing touches on my Blood Sucking Santa piece for the "He Sees You When You're Sleeping" creepy Santa show coming up at Junc Dec.3rd.
It's been a super busy couple of months for me, so I'm looking forward to relaxing a little after my shows at La Luz and C.A.V.E.
I have some group shows in the works for this upcoming year, there should be a lot of fun ones...stay tuned...

LA LUZ de JESUS 25th Anniversary Masters Exhibition


Hello Friends,
Please join us for the La Luz de Jesus Gallery 25th Anniversary Masters Exhibition, with two opening nights, November 4th & 5th, from 8pm-11pm
This one should not be missed!!

Billy Shire celebrates 25 years with huge group exhibition & book

Opening receptions: November 4 & 5, 8–11 PM

To celebrate 25 years of groundbreaking art shows, Billy Shire presents his biggest event ever: La Luz de Jesus 25, a major retrospective exhibition and companion book. The show, offering work by more than 260 artists who have exhibited at the gallery over the years, is so extensive that Shire has split it into two parts, each with two opening nights. As you can see from the list below, the participating artists are a veritable Who's Who of art world luminaries. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see all these amazing artists together in one show.

The book, La Luz de Jesus 25: The Little Gallery That Could, features images of all the art in the show, a personal anecdote about Shire and the gallery written by each artist, essays by La Luz gallery directors and a foreword by Shire. The book is much more than a simple record of this remarkable exhibition. Together, the images and essays present a history of La Luz de Jesus through the eyes of the artists whose careers are intertwined with Shire and his gallery.

For purchase questions or for more information, please contact gallery director Matt Kennedy at info@laluzdejesus.com.

"Together Forever" Show recap and pics

A huge Thank You to everyone who made it out for the Together Forever show opening at La Luz De Jesus. I had lots and lots of fun, I met so many great people, and I sure did sell a lot of work. There are still a couple of pieces available I think, so get on em if you want em.
David and I drove up for the show right smack in the middle of rush hour, which shall henceforth be known as "mistake number one", it took us roughly 3.5 hours to make the (normally) 2 hour drive to Hollywood. We then ate at one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to (I have since been told to never ever eat at any restaurant in LA that has the word "Vegan" in the name)so that can henceforth be known as "mistake number two". Attempting to park on Hollywood blvd after 8pm is apparently a near impossible feat, "mistake number three". But all the learning experiences aside, the show itself more than made up for it. I was able to meet and chat with a few artists whose work I admire, was able to catch up with some people I haven't seen in a long time, and I had the pleasure of meeting a few people who own pieces of my work. A big thanks to my BFFs Paige and Michelle for braving the SD to LA commute on a Friday to support my show. Here are a few pics from the night:

Jasmine Worth's latest collection is titled Together Forever. In this series she's focused on the obvious (and sometimes not so obvious) interconnectedness of people; the ways our associations shape our lives, whether beneficial or parasitic, enriching and fulfilling or codependent and detrimental. In many ways we are the sum of those we encounter. Sometimes these encounters lead to lifelong bonds, and sometimes the briefest connection can have surprisingly lasting effects. It is these interconnected relationships and intertwining of lives that pair the focus in Together Forever –works exploring the ways in which others shape who we are.

Jasmine Worth crafts scenes from fairytales gone awry—swirling seamlessly between the sweet and surreal, inevitably dipping into the valley of the morbid. She studied formally at Watts Atelier as well as Studio 2nd Street in Encinitas, CA, and earned her BFA from the Laguna College of Art and Design. While she possesses the credentials, the product of her toils clearly pours from the cobwebbed corners of her mind, not the classroom. Her paintings—a cabaret of vibrant hues—are a blend of soft textures and colorful characters, juxtaposed against gloomy themes. Created in her home of San Diego, Jasmine combines dark influences and subtle-yet-serious undertones with raw artistic talent and a rarely seen creativity. Her work exudes a strong bearing of individuality, manifested through characters that speak almost vocally and give a new element of depth to an otherwise two dimensional medium. Each scene tells a story and every story is as diverse in emotion as it is in appearance

Artists Help Japan


I did this ema for the "Artists Help Japan" project, curated by Christina Conway. Get some original art and help a good cause! Read more about the project here: http://give2asia.org/?p=7533
Each artist participating in the Artists Help Japan project was given the assignment to create an “ema”. Ema are traditional small Japanese wooden tablets left at shrines with an image on one side, and a wish or a prayer on the other. To help Japan relief efforts, and to spread awareness, support and hope, artists are creating ema with their own positive heartfelt imagery for auction to benefit Artists Help Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund at Give2Asia.
