costa rica + palm desert

January marks the annual retreat to Costa Rica with artist/skateboarding legend Steve Olson, a longstanding friend, to find new energy, surf a bit, and create some travel-size art. Below are some of the highlights, including the view of the seated guard in front of the yoga platform, where I painted when I wasn't surfing or eating amazing fresh ahi tuna, rolled in sesame seeds and seared perfectly.

Also, if you're around Palm Desert this weekend, stop by the opening at Melissa Morgan Fine Art on Saturday night between 5:30 and 8 p.m. I'll have my work alongside Andy Moses, among others.
