I have a new gig as Managing Creative Director for a gallery in Provincetown. Spank The Monkey Fine Arts will open in late May of 2012 and showcase a bevy of dynamite artists in a downtown location. Located at 288 Commercial Street next to the new Shop Therapy. The gallery will focus on Low Brow, Cartoon Surrealism and Outsider Art in painting, photography and sculpture.
I am very happy to announce an exhibit in my home town. On Thursday night May 24th from 7-10 pm, I will host a reception for a solo show at The Hyannis Harbor Arts Center. The exhibit will take place in the historic Guyer Barn at 250 South Street, Hyannis, MA. The show will run till June 10, 2012. The exhibit will feature a series of works I have been developing for a couple of years. For a sneak peak at some of the pieces and a little more insight and behind the scenes click here.

I have been working all winter and spring on the new Shop Therapy murals. The new building is at 286 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657. The orange shop (now painted silver) is the new Spank The Monkey Fine Art Gallery I will be running. I painted the top half which is 33 feet long and 13.5 feet high in a contractor bay this winter on MDO boards and attached to the facade. The first floor is painted directly on the building. click here for a set of photos on facebook (you will have to log in and friend me) set 1, set 2.
