This is my stab at it; I used acrylic on Iranian newspaper.
The title for my piece is "Thumb Wrestling Champ"

Painted in Iran: "Contemplate" Acrylic on Canvas

I was just killing some time in Iran on my vacation. I painted this for my wife's cousin "Babak" aka "Bobby". I took this photo of him while he was sitting in the living room watching t.v.

I surprised him with the painting when we showed up at his new apartment for his little family party. He loved it!

My search for spray paint in IRAN!

After searching around town in Tehran, I finally found some paint!
They're not Montana's or Krylon's but they'll do the trick!

One for the road...

I just had the urge to do a little quickie before taking off to my vacation!! I'll try to post up some stuff while im in Iran! PEACE OUT!

PAINTING THE INSIDE OF "URBAN KABOB"

"THE KABOB MAN"

"THE BAKER"

I had a productive weekend, rocked a couple of characters at my friend's restaurant. His restaurant is called "URBAN KABOB" a fastfood kabob restaurant located on 142 S. La Brea Ave, Los Angeles. Everything on the menu is under $10 and you get alot for your $$$!

URBAN KABOB will be opening MAY 15, 2009!!

I'll keep you guys updated! And post more pics!

"Coffee and Cigarettes"-ORIGINAL- $OLD!!!

My first painting sold! It was a sad but happy occasion for me today. Sad because I had to part ways with a painting of mine but happy that I sold my first painting!! Enjoy it Mr.Coutts! Thanks for your support!

Newest Painting-"Mouseketeer" Acrylic on Canvas

With my baby boy Marcus on my left arm and my paint brush on my right, I managed to finish this piece last night. The size of this is only 10" X 10". It was kinda fun working on such a small scale. I'm probably going to work on a series of these. Hope you guys like it! Enjoy!

"Knocking Over Garbagecans!"

I came up with this sketch for a friend of mine, Versusio from KOG. From his definition of his crew "Knocking Over Garbagecans" This might be coming to a wall somewhere near you soon!! HAHAHHAA!

THE NEXT BIG PROJECT!

I've been asked to do a huge mural in Cal Burke High School in Van Nuys,CA. I will be working with a few students to help me out and also so I can show them the process in painting in such a large scale. I'm currently sketching out ideas and concepts in what I'll be putting on the wall.
I can't wait to start on this project!! i'll keep you guys posted!

Sketchin' on the streets.

Just walking around the streets and getting an urge to sketch on something...

I wanted to make the unwanted vaccuum feel like it had a purpose.

Sketchin on cardboard...

I didn't really know what I was going to sketch, I was going to leave it there but I ended up liking it and now the foam cup box has a big hole on the side. Hahahahah! This will most likely end up being one of my next projects to paint on canvas.

My Childhood Toy

I had this toy when I was a kid and my little brother and I took it apart and couldn't put it back together again. Hahahah! We were curious in how the robot's chest would light up and play a little movie. I had this sketch for a while now but I wanted to see if I can mess with it on Photoshop.

Just sketchin...

Just a couple of quick sketches...
