GOOD street food + design market

I was honored to be selected as the “artist of the month” on the sac365 website I tagged along with Rachael Lankford from Sac365 to the GOOD food and design market and had a wonderful time. The event is beautifully set up and full of creative businesses, designers, food for foodies, artists and just GOOD people! This thing happens on the first Sunday of every month and I highly recommend checking out the next one. Here is their info.

I created a unique hands on art project specifically for the event and had over 100 people participate in the creation of the piece. You can see the final piece on display at Beatnik Studio this 2nd Saturday, July 14th and Final Friday July 27th.

Karma Soap Co.

I love going over to my friend Amara’s house because it always smells amazing. If she’s not mixing up an tantalizing new flavor of soaps she’s baking cookies or other delectable treats. Plus I get to jam out with Brad in his sweet little music room. I asked Amara to help me with some gifts for my family on Fathers day so she whipped up a batch of her famous cookies and I picked out a few bars of soap.. sometimes it’s hard to tell which one you really want to take a bite out of, the cookies or the soap 😉

My Mom

My mom retired from teaching after 30+ years.  We had a wonderful celebration and listened beautiful and emotional testimonies of her character from her friends and fellow teachers.  Teaching is the most noble and undervalued profession there is and I am proud to say that both of my parents were the kind of teacher that really make a difference.  My mom’s going to start growing flowers and dial in her green thumb now that she no longer has to deal with 8 year old’s making fart jokes.  Love you Mom!!

She Blinded me with Science. Nicole and Julian tie the knot

I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph the first wedding at the new Scientology building on 6th and J streets downtown Sacramento. To make the deal even sweeter I hired my friend and amazing photographer Nicholas Wray to help me shoot. It was a very short wedding but we had all kinds of fun. Thanks to Gloria for putting this together and having such an amazing spirit. Congratulations Nicole and Julian Margarite! Here’s a little glimpse:










Sac Peeps

I always seem to find myself working with really cool and interesting people.. Here’s some recent portraiture of Sacramento’s finest. These are the people that make our City great to live in.

Matt Pailes
Matt is a professional skateboarder and reggae / dancehall recording artist. Originally from Boston Matt now calls Sacramento home, although he’s still pretty good at the Boston accent. You can find him often at the B street skatepark or rockin the mic as Ras Matthew.

Chris Jarosz and the Wicked Wich crew
The Wicked Wich sets the standard for amazing mobile food service. They are always hustling and helping out their fellow mofo peoples. Great food and great people. You can usually find these guys at Beatnik on Final Fridays as well.

Sean Jones and Rose Moxley
Sean and Rose are lenders working in the realm of real estate. They are strong local music supporters and passionate about the culture of their city.

Billy Miller & Marc Melin
Marc and Billy are the guys behind HA Critical and Grey Skateboards. Years of experience in the Skate industry have led them to create their own companies and help the progress of the Sacramento skateboarding scene. Keep up the good work!

Matt Rodriguez
Matt is a professional skateboard and amazing percussionist. He skates for a company called Ipath and was instrumental in the development of the brand and the designs. His band the Storytellers have been shredding Sac’s music scene for years.

Judd Hertzler
Judd is retired from the ranks of Pro skateboarding but he still destroys everything on his board and he’s one of my favorite people to skate with because he’s always stoked. Judd is also a talented artist, designer and art director. He’s currently a freelance design / web developer and his work is amazing!

Aaron Nelson
Aaron is an author, storyteller and the creator of the graphic novel “Marlow.” Aaron’s reminds me of a character from a film noir and I bet he drinks lots of scotch.

Mike Rafter
Mike is another ex professional skateboarder turned creative entrepreneur. He is fixated with small motorcycles, mopeds and vintage motor bikes and can fix anything with two wheels. He also may or may not be the leader of a gang of moped riders called the Land Squids.. but don’t quote me on that.

Christopher Tafoya
Christopher Tafoya aka DJ Christoph is a prominent French Music DJ, music enthusiast, collector of retro furniture and art and appreciator of fine alcohol. His apartment is amazing and his bar has more unique and delicious alcohol than I ever knew existed. Thanks for introducing me to St. George Terroir Gin.

Me!
Here’s some self portraits and a shot my good friend Todd Falcke shot at the Genoa Bar in NV.


Thanks to all my clients for supporting local artist! See you in the lens.
