This will go down from June 10 to 13 and I will be there showing some original pieces, doing live art and selling my stuff in the arts market. The event has some of the biggest names in Visioanry art and music, so it should be pretty epic, not to mention the unique location. Hope to see you there!! http://alchemeyez.com/Alchemeyez_Home.html

A Good day for Art

Today I had a good day. Ive been in Gent, Belgium for like a week now and find myself by my own in a cozy lil hotel room, where I've been painting, eating fries with mayo and painting a vynil "Qee" toy for fun.So I finished that piece today and dropped it off at a local street art store called "City Kings" so its displayed for these next 2 months here.

I then went out to practice my spray paint skills in a graffitty alley they have here. I was pretty happy with what came out. I am starting to be less crappy at it, so I wanna do more.

Then, as I walked back home I randomly went into this huge beautifull church and enjoyed seeing lots of awesome old school art. But the best was bumping into a 15th century masterpiece by Van Eyck. "Lamb of God" is a giant triptich set of paintings that blew my mind, crazy detailed and realistic and spiritual. A really humbling experience to be in it's precence, especially so unexpected...

After talking to my girl on the phone n having dinner with my aunt at a vegetarian restaurant here, I came back to this hotel to find that a new Tech Dech toy skateboard with my art just came out. So I am stoked. Nothing like reaching kids through the heart of the mainstream!
