Motorized Frame for Death of Bella
Here is the frame that I designed for my drawing "Death of Bella" The frame was a custom creation of many materials and partial assemblage of found and collected objects. My good friend and fabrication mentor Rick Hilgner of Creative Concepts Enterprises helped me greatly in bringing this beaut to life. The piece sold at the 13th Anuual group show, Everything but the Kitschen Sync at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
I am super excited to say that my lovely wife Jessica and I will be showing work in this year’s massive group show, Everything but the Kitsch ‘N Sync at La Luz de Jesus Gallery!
The Opening Reception: Friday, March 7th, 8-11 pm
I just finished up the last of 4 new pieces I created for Brian Gibson of Channel 13 Films. This one is titled, “Dead in The Mud” It is 13×13 – Prismacolor pencil on archival board. I now begin working on 6 new pieces for the Hive Gallery’s June show. Stay tuned!
Just in time for the Holidays I did this fun little sketch of Mrs. Clause letting Santa know that she is sick of all of his womanizing bullshit. And don’t forget to check out all of the amazing sketch videos on www.sketchtheatre.com
I am very excited to say that my friend Christian Marra creator of The Passenger has sent me a copy of the Passenger No2 and It is amazing! It totally blew me away. It is chuck full of awesome art and stories from illustrators and writers from across the globe. I gotta say it would make any indy comic fan very happy to have in their collection. My rendition of “The Passenger” appears on page 026 for those of you who’d like to know.
You can check out Christian’s Blog here: http://passengerpress.blogspot.com/, and you can buy your copy of The Passenger no2 online at his store for just 10 euros

December 3rd – 6th
Art Basel Miami Beach is the most important art show in the United States – a cultural and social highlight for the Americas. As the sister event of Switzerland’s Art Basel, it is the most prestigious art show worldwide for the past 40 years.
In that spirit, for the duration of Art Basel, WST Worldwide & Kazilla Productions will be hosting the Multiversal Group Show – a unique series of exhibitions showcasing the works of many talented artists from around the world.
Multiversal is the brainchild of graphic artist and Wizard Sleeve Toys founder, Mike Franco and rising star Cassie “Kazilla” Williams. Multiversal will occupy several rooms including a South Florida local artist room, an Art Institute student exhibition, the second Feminality art show Feminality Art Show, a custom toy show and several exhibitions and installations.
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 7th, 2009 from 6-10 pm
“In celebration of Dia De Los Muertos, we bring further excitement through art with our newest exhibition “Top of the Dome VI” featuring ceramic skulls designed by Gregg Stone and transformed by the imagination of today’s hottest tattoo artists, painters, sculptors, graffiti artists, muralists, graphic designers and fine artists.
This year’s Top of the Dome promises to bring an extreme level of creativity meant to inspire and stir the curious nature of the roaming soul in search of interesting and intriguing artwork to call their own. Top of the Dome is not just an exhibition but rather an experience you do not want to miss.
In conjunction with the exhibition, featured artist and painter Gregg Stone makes an impact with his collection of eerily beautiful multi-media paintings that reveal his travels thru the avenues and byways of border region Hispanic communities. While the socio-economic underbelly of these locales clearly captivates him, Stone is also keenly aware of the cultural and architectural treasures that often incongruously share space alongside the hybrid flotsam of class inequity, urban anarchy and increasing globalization. Stone transposes this uniquely south-of-the-border visual, along with his sensitive portrayal of people inhabiting it, into the vivid tapestry of images that forms the sum total of his art.”
Additional events:
November 12th: Artwalk from 6 to 10pm with DJ Phyz Ed, live printing by Two Rabbits
Show runs thru November 29th, 2009
Went to SMart Show down at G1988 last night with my wife Jessica and got to hang out with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. The painting that Dave MacDowell did with the Frame I made got some great feedback from the patrons at the show. Everyone really seemed to get a kick out of it. You can count on more collaborations from Dave and I in the near future! STAY TUNED
You can check out pictures from the show on my BLOG page and FLICKR stream
I was recently invited by Sketch Theatre to do a sketch. You can watch the video at www.sketchtheatre.com/?p=2887! If you haven’t visited Sketch Theatre yet, you should! It is really cool, you can watch artist do a time lapsed sketch to cool music. It really captures the artistic process at its earliest stage. I did a sketch of Elizebeth Bathory sitting in a bathtub of heads.
