Forced Hiatus
Due to an accident I have been forced to take a small break from music. It HAS allowed me to start a few new pieces of art though. Here’s a few examples of the progress I have been making, and also my newest piece that has been selected to be included in the upcoming Against the Grain show hosted and curated by the folks over at the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market and Artworks. Thanks again to everyone who has been so patient and supportive during this recovery time haha
Here is the piece that will represent me at the ATG show coming up on 8-6-16 @ Artworks in Trenton NJ
also this is a Bowie tribute piece I also finished recently
These will soon be masterpieces, I’m sure. haha Not quite decided on if they will be singular pieces or split….
Again thanks to everyone for checking in! Hope to see you all at the opening night of the TPRFM art show!! Fellow Allegory Lab members Addison and Aaron will be showing work as well!!

Work in progress for show submission
My wife ( http://www.melodysaccone.com ) let me know about a juried art show coming up that is accepting submissions. The theme of the show would be Upcycling. Recycling garbage or other waste(garbage sounds terrible haha) into works of art, so I was gonna finish painting my door, or maybe turn in one of the crazy sci-fi guns that I’ve made, but then I saw this huge, ugly painting near a dumpster in our development. It was perfect.
found by the trash.

This is some great progress so far in my humble opinion. haha I still can’t wait to see how it all turns out though.
Needs something though…. See you guys soon.

Reading….
I should really read more. I read voraciously when I first met my wife but have fallen off sharply since. This is a really old sketchbook painting, I was reading alot of Kafka at the time. Spraypaint, paint pen, and collage.
