Wizdom: “Salud” offical music video

When you see the growth of an artist in any medium, it is a wonderful sight to see. My good friend Dave aka Wizdom has been working hard as an artist for the last 3-4 yrs. He’s been creating a sound in Seattle, amongst others, that will put the city in a category of its own. Music in Seattle is going farther than just the “Baby got back” sir mix-a-lot sound. This second video is off his sophomore album titled “MUSIC:Soul of a man.” Ill always support my friends, my family and good music. Proud of you Dave…i mean WIZ.

The Main Event: Deli Presents Dirty in the 30s

I’m truely blessed, truely appreciate every moment of the spectacular evening i had with my best friends/family in Seattle. I couldnt of asked for more. No rain, clear skys and the moon was beamin bright. Thanks to al that made it out, this was definitely a turning point in my art/design career.

The show consisted of 7 digital paintings, 2 acrylic paintings and 5 hand drawn pieces. I managed to sell 3 of the pieces opening night. The night was filled with wonderful Jazz music from the 30s courtesy of Dj Mike C. Wine, Fat Tire beer and *turbo* (crown shots) were served regularly by Chrs. It was great seeing familiar faces, talking to old foegies about the lines on the 30s vehicles and just enjoying everyone’s company.

My work wil be up @ Deli for the rest of the month till the next artshow….so please stop on by check out the artwork and or pick up the Artist Series shirt i took part in for the shop. Thanks Max, DJ Mike C, my friends from Beacon, all my familia and of course, mom, dad and broskee.
