THE FLYING LIZARDS.
I've been a fan of Paul Insect for years via his street works & his awesome stickers.
I was not prepared for the impact these new works had on me.
Below are just a few.
Go see the show, my photos dont do the job!
Opera Gallery 115 Spring Street New York, NY 10012
A proud moment for me to have my favorite bands visual artist Stanley Donwood mention me & my work!
From a DJ'ing trip to Tokyo. (& 20 years later we're still together)
Todd James & Alexis Ross share the massive pop-up gallery space at 560 Washington St.
Both artists stepped up the scale of the their work for the occasion & the results are super fresh!
Below are mine & Max's faves.
Show is up till the 30th Nov -DONT SLEEP!
Max Burkeman & Todd James below
Max showing scale of of fave piece & we think it will fit in the living room.
After a few attempts over the last couple of years, we finally were able to get Todd to sign/doodle in Max's crazy little black book.
