Black Wave Red Sun is a benefit art show to help Surfrider Japan do what they can to deal with the environmental destruction caused by the tsunami.
Watch this video of the black wave and you’ll understand the power and destruction that inspired this art show.
Featuring artwork by Bwana Spoons, Scrappers, Manny Pangilinan, Maddie Joyce, Ed Fladung, Jeremy Fish, Corey Arnold, Luke Ramsey, and many more…
The artists involved are donating 100% of the funds raised from sales to Surfrider Japan. Grass Hut is only charging shipping fees for sold artwork.
Artwork will be available through Grass Hut Art Market’s website this Friday, March 18th.
I will have 12 signed and numbered prints like the one below (each with individually painted red suns) available along with some photographs and other pieces of art. 100% of the money spent on the art will go to Surfrider Japan.

A while back I got the total freaking honor to work with the kind folks at OBEY.
By “work” I mean they let me use some of Sharpard Fairey’s art on a cover, but not just any cover. A REMOVABLE COVER!!! A cover that had a dotted line and instructions encouraging readers to cut it out and paste it around town. It was pretty awesome and it worked!
Here’s what some regular commenters at Blogtown thought about it >>>
Thomas James (my new favorite illustrator) interviewed me on Escape from Illustration Island Podcast.
It was cool, I mostly mumble about myself too much, but somehow manage to see beyond my nose long enough to talk about art direction work, illustration work, and what it’s like to work with a creative team.
If you have over 45 minutes to kill and a tolerance for my retarded voice…have a listen here >>>
