Mil Destinos




























 I had a solo art show at VAMP, Vintage Music & Art for the People,
in August 2017. I had been wanting to do an art show at this small
neighborhood record store for a while. I was happy to take this
opportunity to create some new paintings and drawing as well as
generate some concepts for new work. Having a place like VAMP to
hang work is a great. The place is cozy. The neighborhood is friendly &
I've been hanging out with the owners, Fernando and Tracy for about
3-4 years. Since I moved to the Lake Merritt, Oakland area in 2013, I've
seen some of my favorite live music performances here.








 



  


  

Shout out to my friend & artist Jon Chao for coming through & helping me hang the show!!!


 

 



 










I had prints for sale and got lucky with this 
ground score of a wooden print rack

This is the typeface I used for the show flier. I have been working on developing this typeface for a few years.
This typeface is large and monumental for images to be placed inside of the letter shapes.
