Had a little fun in the OC this week. Paint pens on the break room wall at the Smile headquarters, Irvine.

After a quick little dawn patrol session, of course.

Back to Joe’s

I recently was given an opportunity to be rehired at Trader Joe’s, Redlands. Thanks Brina! I have the pleasure of getting an early start on the day by doing signs and other projects with the store 99 team. Here are a few chalk pen signs. Enjoy.

Final day

The Yucaipa music and arts festival will come to an end today. Thank you for all those who came out to support. You still have time to paint on the VW bus and check out all the great art that Yucaipa has to offer. Come down and take part in the festivities and support your local artists.

Back up and look closer.

Visions of a glassy pond, crystal upon view.    But ripples happening, perceptions shattering. Reflected; waking view.

Hippo New Year!

 We stand on the shoulders of giants. Don’t forget what we have gone through to get to his point. See through the bull, hold hands and come together. 2016. 

Who are you?

Are you real? Are you true? Are you happy with what you do? Don’t hide. Just be you.

Actions speak louder than words.

I have heard it before. A million times. Silence is indeed golden, so put your money where your mouth is. Be, live, and love.  

Come together

 

Everyday should be a hollow day.

Christmas is once a year, but that doesn’t have to be the case! Opportunities to give happen all year long. So next year, don’t wait until the weather gets chilly, or the mountains are white with snow. Let the spirit of the Christmas season shine all year long!  Ho Ho Ho, merry Christmas! 

Chalk lit.

I participated in Maintenance Day at my son’s school over the weekend. An obligation I had signed up for, not knowing what to expect but not being overly thrilled with the idea of deep cleaning a preschool classroom. To my pleasure I arrived to chewy Quaker granola bars and all smiles from the teachers and other parents. My tasks were not at all what I had imagined. Changing light bulbs, cleaning fish tanks, hanging a paper maché hammerhead shark, repainting a chalkboard sign, and the last job being the cake on top. Drawing with chalk on the playground tricycle garage.

Nature love

Life is ever flowing. It is easy to bypass the details and get lost in the rat race of society. Life is what’s around you. Take a breath, slow down and let it be. Just be. Appreciate what is, and find comfort in the fact that you are alive. Feel it, all of it. Life’s peaks and troughs are definite. It’s all about the journey. 

Here are some moments caught while in the flow. 

No more room

It doesn’t hurt, Dad.

Muralize it

I added some more marine life to the mural at the Edinger Medical Group last weekend. They asked me to continue the mural onto the bottom half of the reception door and add some more of our California state marine fish, the Garibaldi. While doing some R and D, I found that the fishes common name is a reference to the Italian military and political figure Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose followers often wore a characteristic scarlet or red shirt. 

   
 

Original Owls

I posted a cropped and filtered photo on Monday of an owl. Here is the original photo.  

  There are actually 2 owls. One is to the right in the shade of the leaves.

Edinger Medical Group completed

Today was the final day of the under overocean mural  for EMG. If you are ever at the beach in HB, shoot on up Beach Blvd. and take a gander at all the marine animals on the wall. Here are some photos of what went down.
