Otto Aresnault came to visit and had a chance to take a few photos of the facebook office murals i did now that the paint has had a chance to dry. i think this is the closest thing to a tour your going to get for those of you still asking. Thanks again Otto, Chris, and the facebook team, it was quite an experience. [flickr album=72157613977533088 num=30 size=Square]
hOM YOGA STUDIO!
I was invited by Caley and Erin to come and shape the environment for their newly opened yoga studio at 3102 California up in Pac Heights. They did a great job with the interior design and I got to throw up some work. Its a great place to do yoga with a lot of amazing teachers, check it out! http://www.homyogasf.com/hom/

facebook production shots
I recently had the great opportunity of painting all night for three months on the walls of one of Facebook’s office buildings! These are just some pictures I took at 5 in the morning to remember what I was working on. Once I get magic Otto on the scene I will post much more legit photos.

together we can cross hot lava
My friend Rocky De Anda, of Galleria de Raza, recommended I propose a project to the Mission Cultural Council, so I did. I had been looking for a way to interact with the community and still produce my own work. So I offered my leadership facilitation skillz to a handful of after school programs around the mission. After working through trust, leadership, and self awareness games activities, I had the kids write or draw the things they valued and feared most in their lives. Promoting, organizing, and scheduling my renegade art-related leadership program proved to be much more difficult than anticipated. Once I got the chance to run these sessions, I frequently found myself in a room of uninhibited kids 7-14 years old spazzing out on some of the more creative vulgar language I have ever heard. The best experience I had was with The Beacon after school program’s Power Eyes group. These girls had they’re group leader present and had a pre-existing foundation together. In the end I found the images of them working together to be the message I wanted to convey most so that’s how I ended up with this product. Now that I have one experience with community-engaged and public art project, I look forward to the chance of doing another with greater foresight.
