I’m helping out the folks who put together the Bordo Bello art show (a skateboard art charity show here in Denver) by doing some illustrations for them. I just completed the illustration that will eventually be the header for this year’s website and I’m so happy with the finished illustration I had to share it. Click through to see the full banner.

I created this poster to help promote a gallery show I’m participating in. Its happening this Friday at Conari arts in Denver and is titled Mustache Maddness. It’ll be a celebration of all things mustache, featuring a talented roster of local artists, such as Elliot Lang, Lynon Aksamit, & more. There will also be live music by Blues/Funk Band Fluesy G. The show starts at 7:15, stop by: here’s a map.
