My new print "Man One: Choke On it" is inspired by the classic Parliament Funkadelic logo and album covers from decades ago. I decided to create this piece purely digital and have it printed onto canvas for that clean and cool effect. CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER NOW!

Who would've thought that one night I'd be chillin' with two of the greatest musical legends of our time: Sly Stone and George Clinton! Check out the little promo vid first..
Great meeting and hanging with Sly and chillin' once again with Dr. Funkenstein himself George Clinton.
Side by side crackin' jokes and painting Sly's RV or the "Old School Bus" as its now been dubbed.
I rocked the spray painted letters and Overton Loyd rocked the caricatures and George just painted whatever was on his mind!
We also painted the other side:
It was a crazy all nite freestyle paint session right smack in the hood. I don't think you can script this. Epic!
My art band UNIFICATION THEORY (myself, Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca, and Overton Loyd) painted LIVE on stage with headliners George Clinton and PFUNK at the FUNKAPALOOZA Concert at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, CA last Friday nite 3/23/12.
As usual we created live, spontaneous, mash up works of art with markers, spray cans, and inks. The pieces are created to the music as its being performed and its what moves us.
Then of course we gave away the pieces to lucky fans that were in attendance at the sold out show.
I never thought giving away the art during the concert would stir up such a crazy frenzy that literally had security holding people back from jumping on stage to get their hands on some art!
Sir Nose in the house!
Thanks to Overton and George Clinton for letting us do this again!
Special shout out to the homie Baz for clicking away on my iPhone to get all these action pics!
