FROM THE ART DESK OF RENEE LAWER : This is the piece i’m creating special for the Sea No Evll Show this Saturday . Its called “TROJAN WHALEICORN” . In the piece you see a Wooden Trojan  Whale floating out  of the dark cloud of oil only to be greeted  by  Jelly fish , whom have no natural preditors and live symbiotic with other sea life.  There are so many species of jelly fish and i find them so beautiful.  I have never been stung nor do i wish too but i wonder what it feel like.  Here’s more info on jellyfish or i like to refer to mine as Sir Jellies. With the BP Oil Leak  I’ve been wondering how all these creatures in the ocean are handling this oil spill . The Huffington post wrote a great many articles about the subject and they are pretty progressive .   Anyhow..my thoughts for the day.  See you at the show. BE THERE!! carpool have fun.

It’s that time again for The Sea No Evil Art show in Riverside, CA and the line up has gotten huge. Erin Swinfard has asked me back to paint a piece or two for the show. All this  work is donated for the Sea Shepherd so that captain Watson can continue his work on the open ocean.  The great thing is the Captain actually shows up.  Last year Shepard Fairey played a amazing set.. it was a drive,  but definitely worth it.  Here are some images from last year & Check out the website for updates @ www.seashepherdartshow.com as the show gets closer.

My painting is titled “Squid Vicious” ! Never Mind the Bullocks was a CD that i loved right along side the Ramones that i played and played.  I was excited to paint this as the silk wall tapestry i had since im 16 is in my studio with me and most nights i wear my sid tee ive had for just as long. i think next i will do the ramones as weird underwater creatures.  Its funny that while my life feels underwater and im having a hard time breathing with my design business Eyerus is kicking some serious ass right now…im leaning towards underwater characters.. ha Funny!  Im selling this piece right now thru the Black Maria Gallery if your interested please contact Zara or Sam.  Thanks for including me in this show guys!!

Title: PDA_Public Deer Affection : Newest piece for sale
THE PDA SHOW
Show open February 19th, 2010 in  Salt Lake City, Utah

A smogless city dream is a piece about the air quality. This holiday vacation i traveled back east PA/NY area for my holiday vacation. As i drove from NY to PA i noticed all of the industrial buildings and interesting things that i see as being part of my growing up. It was very different as i started to noticed all the electrical plants in California in the beach areas. This beautiful majestic scenery with such destruction mixed in. So, with this piece I imagined i was in a place that these epic creatures were completely a mystery, unseen, until one day there was a clearing in the clouds and as i looked up i saw these magnificient creatures effortlessly cleaning up the air that we humans fill with our selfish behaviors. The piece was sold at the opening of Urban Confluence Saturday night & i wanted to say Thanks so much CAVE GALLERY for such a great opening and great crowd.
