These two paintings are a product of my friendship and admiration for Aaron and Guy. These artists are considered the best and their work speaks for itself. The intensity of these paintings are a reflection of their own personal traits. They are painted a certain way because of their energy and personality as well as an interpretation on their styles. I hope that makes some sense, but when you look at the paintings you can gauge your own reactions. I see the interaction between myself and these epic tattooers as a small bridge between the graffiti and tattoo worlds.

These two paintings are part of a triptych. The third is with the ever prolific and my good friend Grime in SF. Maybe one day I’ll get all three of the paintings together for an instillation. I’m always glad to be a human canvas for such talent.

Saber Painting At Alex Grey Event

Saber And Alex Grey

Guy Aitchison And Michelle Wortman

Alex Grey has been an inspiration to me for many years. I was invited to spend some time with him at the Visionary Art event in Downtown LA.

Originally the ever-prolific Guy Aitchison hooked me up with Alex to participate in a live painting session. I was even put on the spot to speak about aspects of the Graff movement and how it relates to Visionary Art.

This movement is deep routed in the combination of psychedelics and the journey of self-awareness. I was honored to participate in the creative process with such great artists. All the artists who painted came through with amazing pieces.

P.S. If you not into the Burning Man aftermath, then some of this crowd might be a little out of your comfort zone.
