When I got to Hotel Des Arts, issa was doing an artpiece in chalk to promote the show.
She handed me what was left of the green chalk stick, and I drew a turtle. Thanks issa…I will forever cherish watching random people walk all over your art and my turtle.
I met the dj first and took a shot of their perspective from their table. Mos Def’s stunt double was there…nice.
My stuff is on the lobby floor…down the hall towards the back. Here let me show you.
Turtle Hello Kitty got me the most compliments. Also I met some new nice people that really dug my art and wanted me to sketch something for them on the spot.
Got 10 of my limited edition hand vinyl transferred Turtle Tees up for display too. SWAG!
This is what I got from the show…artist cards to add to my growing collection.
I wanted to show my gratitude and thanks to everyone that went to the opening so I passed out about 40 turtle pins that are the same colorways as the turtles that are currently hanging there.
Thanks to &THEM, Hotel Des Arts, Quan Yin People, artists, and everyone that went! I had a great time! -twayne

Experimenting with chalk in the nice weather.
Getting black chalk (not charcoal)…was harder than I thought.
If black chalk was abundant…the piece would of ending up looking like this:
Checked out a Pancakes ‘n Booze Art event in San Francisco and took these pics on my phone:
The event had a band playing musics, FREE pancakes, and LIVE body painting in addition to artists and their artwork.
The artist showed me a sketch of what she was going to paint on her friend/model.
Never seen someone so happy…so naked…so painted.
Checked out Leah Smithson‘s closing reception at Hotel Des Arts. Leah was doing some live painting on her giclee prints of her various artwork…super cool.
