SPRAYPAINT: THE FINE ART OF AEROSOL is a provocative feature documentary in production that focuses on renowned mural artist, Chor Boogie’s, life and work.
We will examine the forces that have made his legal spraypaint murals internationally famous. We take an up-close look at the effect on the human mind of his original color therapy technique and explore his past life of addiction that lead him to seek healing through spraypaint art. The film will give viewer’s an inside-look at his unique style and the uplifting spiritual healing he has brought to a worldwide fan base. Instead of a biography or typical documentary on the ‘graffiti scene’, the film will take a visionary filmmaking approach that experiments as much with style and substance as Chor does in his own work.
We have collected over 40 hours of footage thus far in cities around the world. Some of the artists included in the film are: Pose2, Apex, Neon, and many more!
In order to complete the shooting (i.e. production) phase on this documentary feature, we need to raise funds for equipment and travel-related costs. Our goal for this round of funding is $5,000. However, we will certainly put any money raised above $5k to good use.
100% of funds raised will go towards the following:
-High quality microphones -HD Tape stock -External hard drives to backup original HD video -Cost of airplane tickets for crew members -Car rental, food, lodging and in-town transportation when traveling outside the SF Bay Area
We need your assistance to complete this film! Check out the perks on this page and consider donating today! Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested!
Love and light to all of you!!

Hiredmeat’s “Dispatches from the S.S. Helen”: Choker Pinup Under-Painting
This is the under-painting stage of my pinup for CHOKER, the upcoming Image Comics title from Ben McCool & Ben Templesmith. I’m having fun playing with texture galore on this one.Originally, I’d wanted to show you all the original pencil drawing, THEN show the underpainting. But alas, the digital file of the pencil drawing got corrupted. Still, I’ll be posting more mid-process pics of this. So keep yer peepers peeled!Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!

Dead Geisha Wood Engraving via @PaleHorseDesign:
I teamed up with BlackBooks Stencils last week to create this 12×36in. plywood engraving to send out to a friend in Japan. Thanks to Scott from Super 7 FL for hand delivering it! I’m all about the laser cut engravings these days. Such a great way to go from a digital file to something so tangible and special.

Son of the legendary cartoonist Vaughn Bode, Mark Bode further channels and expands the “family style” through his own drawings, graffiti-inspired murals, tattoo work, and animations. Combining his father’s iconic figures, such as the Cheech Wizard and Cobalt 60, with his own variations and original characters, he creates artwork distinctly inspired by both past and present comic universes. Watch the interview from “The Run Up,” available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV.

BADASS BINDER!
I know what you’re thinking… How does a word like badass precede a word like binder? Oh, well, here let me explain… I make them. ;D That is correct. If you didn’t know about my super sweet artwork being currently available on Avery binders, now you do. And as much as you guys enjoy when I ramble on about the awesomeness of things, I think it might be better to just show you…

You see?! What did I tell you?! BAD. ASS. BINDER. You can view and purchase the binder shown here in my shop. Or start browsing through the rest of this awesome binder collection here. And don’t forget, these babies are customizable. Add your own text, choose your size, change the inside color… it’s up to you. Enjoy! :)Artwork on binder is also available in other products, including prints.
