My new Totem Scarz series

// March 29th, 2011 // No Comments » // Art Shows

Finally got a nice professionally snapped photo of my latest inspiration which is a fusion between Native American totem poles and Maya stela stone carvings. I give it a 21st century twist and affectionately call these new creations my “Totem Scarz” series.

This first iteration is 24″x12″ and I am currently completing a larger 36″x20″ version for a book being published by an LA gallery here soon.

I love experimenting, and can flip this all day long. I will continue pushing as next I will paint up 2 and 3 color versions of this in a more spontaneous manner.

This is my new piece currently showing @ Mattie Rhodes gallery here in Kansas City

Totem Scarz No.1
