Last weekend I had the pleasure of rocking a live painting with Dana Woulfe for the NY Red Bulls’ opening home game against the Colorado Rapids. Special thanks to James at Lot F in Boston for lining this up!

I was honored to show alongside artist Marion Bolognesi at this past year’s SCOPE NYC 2012 art fair. I has been a long-time goal for me to show at SCOPE ever since I caught their show a few years back during Art Basel Miami, and when Chashama offered me a chance to display my work at their booth I jumped at the chance. Please see below for pictures of the booth as well as close ups of the pieces we submitted. Enjoy!

I was thrilled to be asked to exhibit at ESSENTIAL EROTICA 2012. This massive group show was held at the Jinn Gallery, a colossal 14,000 square foot gallery at Broadway and Houston in NoHo. I met some great people including photographer Victor Spinelli, documentary filmmaker and video production artist Danny DiMeo, NYC-based artist Light Weight, and photographer/illustrator Jaime Filomio. Plus got to witness the incredible contortionist stylings of Natasha King, and rocked out ’til dawn to the sounds of Andrew Vogt ( Verboten ) with the ace homie known only as EVAQ.
Also sold 2 of my 3 pieces and earned a wall commission, which was an incredible way to kick off a truly amazing night! Thanks to Gigi Gueorguieva, Ze Vaz and everyone else who made this amazing event possible.
Peace + Love,
Metalwing Magnetic

As everyone’s work around us continues to advance, the vision for DYSTOPIA FILTER becomes more focused and realized. As long as people continue to dedicate themselves to perfecting their respective crafts, I will continue to curate these exhibitions and document this unique moment in creative history.
Thank you to everyone involved and I’ll be seeing you for DYSTOPIA FILTER IV.

The Dragon represents unbridled, untouchable power. It is the only animal in the zodiac that is also a God. Coupled with the feng shui ‘restart’, its reign means that in place of any roots, there will be intense dynamism.
The Water element of this Dragon makes that change even more fluid, fast and unstoppable.
