Live Painting Tour 2012: As The Summer Ends and Fall Begins

"There is no rest for the wicked."

To finish the summer off properly, I spent the last weekend of August live painting for the 4th year in a row at Camp Barefoot Music Festival 6 held in Bartow, Wv. With a rainy beginning, the weekend turned out to be extremely pleasant; Full of smiling faces and many talented musicians and artists from all over the country. Each artist had their own gallery set up along the path down vendors row. Thomas Robertson-Forrest and I began a long awaited collaboration incorporating a treehouse into a bonsai tree. Here are a few photos from over the weekend.

~A Personal Thank You~

I would like to personally thank all my family, friends and especially the Silo Effect crew for supporting my decision and actions to follow my dreams and share my artwork among the country this summer, traveling over 10,000 miles since May. Whenever there was any question as to rationalizing this journey, there was also a fellow companion there with advice and support. It is truly the community within all this that makes it feel right. Makes it feel home. And I thank all of you for helping me take steps forward on my creative path!

 Since the Camp Barefoot experience which put an end to my most diligent and successful summer touring yet, I have had a chance to paint a few shows in Virginia. August 29th was with DVS-Derek VanScoten and Zoogma at the Canal Club in Richmond, Va. September 12th brought Silo Effect and The Mantras together at the Canal Club again. And September 28th took me back to the Jewish Mother in Norfolk, Va for two solid sets of Silo Effect. Here are a few pictures from this fall!

My final layering on the "treehouse" collaboration. 

Now it awaits Thomas Robertson-Forest aka Goatfaced to detail and finish!

This month I had the pleasure to work with Galaxy Dynamite once again designing their new cd, "Moment of Impact". The cover includes a transformed image of my recently released painting "Reflection" and the back decorated delicately with my first ever drawing tablet work! "Moment of Impact" is to release at the Jewish Mother in Norfolk, Va this Friday including special guests Moogatu and The Manhattan Project . Check out the event page and support some great artists.

Live Painting Tour 2012: August Edition Part 1

"The way is in the heart."

Coursing through the summer mayhem, August perpetuated a creative exploration to close out the summer of 2012 properly. Before I set sail to Gnarnia The Festival, I spent a few days beachside in Virginia Beach working on a commission for my friend Dash who resides in the great music capita of Austin Texas. After many sandy afternoons, early sunny mornings and foggy evenings, this is "All Winds Point West".

August 9th began my last leg of touring for the summer. That morning Thomas Robertson-Forest aka Goatfaced jumped aboard for our ride to the enchanting Beech Mountain in North Carolina for Gnarnia The Festival. With much mountain moisture in the air and a heavy rain that evening and sporadically over the whole weekend, painting was quite difficult. Though thanks to Jarred Trantham, we were able to be involved with the live art gallery which displayed over 30 artists from all over the country, facilitating a comfortable social environment for the Gnarnians' to enjoy a great variety of creativity.

Even though moisture held tight in the mountains, the cool weather was a great break from the usual humid summer conditions. During the day they had the ski lift opened for a beautiful ride to the top of the mountain which provided amazing view points of the Appalachian Mountains and the Tribal Council dome with many interactive and informative workshops everyday. Gnarly weather called for gnarly music and light shows. Android Jones displayed his visual projection performance called Phadroid on friday night which tantalized our eyes with graphics interweaving with a dancer. Even though live painting wasn't possible for most evenings due to drizzle and moisture, I still was able to start a new landscape painting and draw on a few bodies over the weekend!

The following weekend I was graciously invited to be a crew member with the Silo Effect and attend Rootwire Music and Arts Festival as a guest artist. This festival is put together by the most heart centered band in the scene, Papadosio. Their bright influences of positive community and integrated creativity and expression was seen clearly throughout the tranquil grounds of Kaeppners Woods. The artist gallery this year consisted of many nationally recognized visionary painters who held workshops and discussions on top of performance painting each day. Also there were incredible projected visuals and light shows provided by Jason Takahashi, Dustin Klein and Herm Productions.

As the sun set Thursday evening and night fell upon us, I set up and painted on a platform right next to the stage during Silo Effect. Being this entwined with the action brings a motivating correlation to my performance, enabling myself to focus on producing within this intended moment. Here are a few shots of me painting that were captured over the Rootwire weekend.

Propelling through the beautiful landscapes of our country, the winds of creativity steer our path through the Arkansas mountains to find rest and grounding after a long two week live painting journey to Summer Camp and Wakarusa Music Festival. De Gray Lake outside of Little Rock, Ar became the resting peninsula we envisioned to recoup the imagination and unwind. 

Though living on the road can bring the greatest of unique freedoms, the lack of structure can also lead to difficult times and impatience. We all experienced an extreme reflecting point on ourselves and as a group those 10 days we spent between De Gray Lake and then travelling to Asheville, Nc before making our way to Impulse Music Festival. Still, nature provided it's healing principles as I floated daily on De Gray Lake catching sun rays and adventuring inside a waterfall outside Hendersonville, Nc.

The next stop was Impulse Music Festival in Union Point, Georgia. The location for the festival was quite unique. The grounds were used primarily as a dirt bike course so all through out the weekend there were riders performing stunts which added to the already stacked amount of entertainment. The Tribal Council dome was where I found myself the majority of the weekend as the atmosphere lent an ease to social interaction, stretching and meditation. This weekend was the beginning to a piece I had been sketching and planning out since our stay at De Gray Lake. Here is the "fishy" piece in progress at Impulse...

Gallery Set Up

Based upon the distance to Colorado from Georgia and everyones individual needs within the group, our attendance to Sonic Bloom did not occur this year. Returning home early to Richmond, Va after being on the road for a nearly month felt quite comforting. I have missed Virginia over this past year and my now unknowing length of return has opened time to rekindle old connections, make new ones and find creative work.

Since attending Sonic Bloom was out of the question for the weekend, I stumbled upon a small festival in Surry,Va that a friend was involved with. Quickly being added to the list so I could perform, I set sail east to the Blueberry Jam before getting my feet in the ocean for the first time since September. I spent most of the evening painting on bodies instead of the canvas. Meeting some great new faces through the Norfolk, Va crew I met at Nomadic Roots last year, I painted on roughly 12 people over the course of 2-3 hours. It's was great to see so many people excited about the art and wanting to interact with it.

After a few nights on the oceanfront in Virginia Beach, I made my way to Gore Virginia to perform at Nomadic Roots Festival this past weekend. A small 500 person gathering this year became the funnest festival experience of the summer thus far. Lots of the Richmond and Norfolk family were in attendance, creating a reunion of sorts in my perspective. All the live artists constructed a gallery within the main stage area which included Thomas Robertson-Forrest, Tom Reed, Rae Vena and myself. Even though we experienced storm weather that destroyed gallery structure, no artwork was harmed. Jumping onto the stage during the storm Friday night awaiting my great friends the Silo Effect to perform, we started a drum circle that filled in entertainment till the storm passed along and the music started back.

Over the weekend I slowly worked on the "fishy" piece that is currently still in progress and spent a great deal of time producing body art on friends and working on a cane. Here are a few photos from the weekend...

I really appreciate all the love and support I received over the weekend. Nomadic Roots has become a major homebase festival for the summer, and I look forward to seeing it blossom even more next year when I return! The month of July is currently at ease right now, opening time for commission work and personal travels. Here is one show you can catch me at in July. I hope you will be available to join us this beautiful evening. We have some big creative plans in store so come support your local art and music.

"Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain."

The adventure is the destiny. 

Live painting is a dream job! And at the same time it's a full time job without hourly pay. Yet, the benefits go beyond monetary gain at times. Traveling across the country and sharing my art work with numbers of diverse communities is any artists dream. The adventures that take place during time off and the work done behind the scenes to be able to perform and showcase at these events is where the magic happens. It's a great deal of work that is rewarded with great opportunity. 

This years summer tour is my second and most ambitious yet. Starting with Karma Music and Arts Festival held in Moorehead, Ky, our artist collective came together for the first time including Rae Vena, Thomas Robertson-Forrest and myself. The breeze was cool and the rain held off till the last evening to produce a successful experience in the beautiful Kentucky mountains. 

As I stated in the last publishing, I started a piece based upon a design interpretation and personal vision of the Sun. As we course through spring and into summer, we receive a rejuvenation of sunshine which produces natures blossoms and peaking hormonal levels in humans and animals. After working on "Son of Sun" during all of Karma and into SummerCamp, here is the final product.

 Thomas Robertson-Forrest and I live painting at Karma Music and Arts Festival.

This year was my first Summer Camp Music Festival experience. Live painting is an untapped expression at this event which made our gallery set up and performing even more purposeful. The community was very receptive to the work and it felt accomplishing to spread live painting further into the music scene. "Son of Sun" was finished and "Vision Paradise" was started during the busy weekend. I would like to thank the "Soulshine" tent for giving us the opportunity to set up our work and enjoy the number of entertaining shows and events they held all weekend.

This year at Wakarusa, I was involved with the live artist gallery directed by Michael Garfield which included 15 talented artists from all over the country. A gallery with such a creative community conspired a busy social hub, enabling the audience to meet the artists, view the work and share perspectives. Using a rack, my gallery set up stuck out one of the entrances to entice everyone to come over and investigate.

By the end of Wakarusa, I finished "Vision Paradise" which expresses a dream of personal nirvana. Whether it be a "place" or "space in your mind", we all can relate with meditating on somewhere or something that comforts us. The ocean is a personal and centering place for myself. Since early childhood, I have held a close connection with the ocean and what it has to teach us. Beyond it's beauty and illusion of infinity, the sound teaches the voice of nature and the motion shows the power and movement of a wave. "Vision Paradise" expresses these bits of perspectives into a landscape that flows in balance and movement, exploiting natures simple pleasures.

Viewing the "Flatiron" mountains over looking Boulder one last time in my rearview window as I drove away, I blew a kiss and hoped for a safe departure. The past 7 months in Boulder has been a beautiful, growing experience filled with great people I will never forget. Also very thankful for the support I had before my departure. Annie Wirth came to me with a conceptual commission based on Brazilian classical musician Egberto Gismonti's track "Ano Zero", translating in portuguese as "Year Zero". Here is my latest painting titled "Ano Zero."

I want to give a big thanks to Tom Reed for coordinating the art gallery and decorating the festival grounds with beautiful installations. Outside the art scene, the music and lights were a fantastic and entertaining display to enhance the beautiful campground as I conversed with new faces and spent a plethora of hours painting all weekend. 

The new piece is based upon my design interpretation and personal, inner vision of the Sun. As we are coursing through the spring and into summer, nature blossoms and humans hormonal levels peak. We see direct affects relating to our seasonal development and increase in exposure to the sun. I see it to be a fitting time to express such visions and look forward to developing the piece through the final stages during these shows this week. Come find me and say hello!

When one can escape the everyday life for just a short time and explore the inner realities of dreams and passions, new realities are born. Traveling through Colorado in March with Derek VanScoten brought an inner peace as I experimented on the canvas in 4 towns for 4 consistent nights. "Follow Your Dreams" expresses the connections, inspirations and insights I had through out the tour.

Malakai, or Kai, came to me after the tour in request for a piece of art on an electric guitar he is rebuilding. I gladly jumped on the project and had an enjoyable, experimental first time painting on a guitar. Here is a photograph of the guitar finished with more photos available for your viewing pleasure on this album. Also, feel free to check out Malakai's music here!

The LVR Portrait Series is a photo concept comparing and expressing the contrast of the left and right sides of the brain or cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. With the winter beard in full bloom, I shaved half my face to reflect these ideals and characteristics we associate with the two sides of the brain. Below is one of five photographs taken and edited by Joe Zalan. The whole series can be viewed at the LVR Portrait Series album here.

Quote from Artist Statement 2012 CM♥

Upon my arrival to Colorado back in September, life has brought many surprises and changes which is expected to come when moving 1,800 miles. In October 2011 I started my first Colorado piece, "Kabudachi", which stands for a particular bonsai tree that has multiple trunks all growing from the same point, or root. I slowly worked on this piece at live performances and in the studio from October 2011 to April 2012, conveying the evolving emotional changes I went through during my locational change . Here is the final image of "Kabudachi". All forms growing from one point!

In a final conclusion, I am ecstatic to announce the beginning blooms of my 2012 summer tour with the addition as an official live painter at Wakarusa Music festival. This has been a dream of mine for quite some time and I am excited to collaborate on this voyage with so many other beautiful artists. You can check out the rest of my summer tour in the section labeled Schedule 2012 to the right. Many more additions are to come and I appreciate all the support and positive energy I have been receiving these past few weeks.

Promotional Videos, New Graphics and Announcing a 4 Night Painting Run with D.V.S*

After creating my first album cover this winter, graphic design has become a prime artistic exploration of mine. Finally beginning to to pierce through the surface of the infinite possibilites in this creative dreamers world. Steve Owen requested earlier this year that he needed a design for the Richmond Electronic Collective's first album which included tracks by a various number of electronic artists from Richmond Virginia. I was quite thankful and honored to provide the first album design for Steve's first of many compilation albums. Here is the graphic and link to the REC: Richmond Electronic Collective Volume 1.

A few weeks ago I came up with an idea I wanted to explore with photoshop. I started editing an image of an LED hula hoop a friend was playing with on St. Augustine Beach last summer. You may remember the reference from a previous publishing. I spent the next three days adjusting and tweaking the images and layers I selected until I found an acceptable balance. Here is my most intricate and ambitious graphic yet, titled "Light Offerings".

Continuing to collaborate in Boulder has produced some new promotional material I never thought to create until I became close with Joe Zalan. A film student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Joe has been exploring with traditional and artistic film techniques for years.
