April 2013 commission for the Shea Family in San Diego, California.
I recently took a trip to California to see friends, hike and make some art. This is a piece I did for The Shea Family! It was a blast to hang out with this super rad family full of artists and musicians…so much inspiration.

Came up with this the other night at the November Atomic Sketch Event…I was inspired by a pair of pants I saw someone wearing earlier in the day.
