Waacking Monster

Julia is also a dancer who is proficient in many different styles. As we were shooting this "Waacking Monster" she kept reminding me "I can do a bboy monster too!!!" When I first started developing this project, Julia was one of the first people I asked to pose for me. Now almost a full year later, we finally got together over the weekend for a shoot.

This month I will be showing at Hallway Gallery on Center st. in Jamaica Plain in their holiday salon show. Also the bboy monsters will be invading Aurora gallery in New York this weekend for "Unlucky Breaks" a bboy jam with a twist! I figured this would be the perfect opportunity for my bboy monsters because it's always been my dream to show work at breaking event. Expect more pictures to be coming soon!

BBoy Monster: Gyrotronic2039

Apologies for the lack of updates in the past few weeks, things were a bit crazy preparing for shows/finding new ones. Luckily I have some good friends who keep me in check and twist my arm to keep making new work.

Gyro is a close friend and fellow crewmate. We are both founding members of Florox crew, although he's been rocking a couple of years longer than I have. In addition to being one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, he is also fluent in many dance styles including breaking, locking, and house.

Upcoming Shows

I have a few upcoming shows this month, please stop by and take a look if you get the chance!!!

Tonight is the opening reception for my show at Jameson and Thompson, a frame shop I am currently working at in Jamaica Plain. I will be showing all the new stuff from my "World of One" series (basically the last five entries in this blog). So if you're a fan, or just a friend/acquaintance please stop by!! Reception is 6:00-8:00 come for some free wine/beer/snacks/awesome.

Last but not least, this month I will also be the featured artist at Colortek of Boston, a photo-lab near South Station in Boston (of course). This is a show that I'm really excited about, mostly because someone actually wrote about me and quoted some of the stuff I've written in this blog. It's like a greatest hits collection of the stuff I've put up over the years, only from an outsider's perspective and explained much better and more cohesively. Please check out the feature on their blog here:
