Affordable Art Party!

This Sunday (15th) there will be an 'Affordable Art Party' hosted by Art.i.facts! It's a collaboration of artists and Musicians with music and Art available for purchase and ALL OF IT is $60 or cheaper! I've got some canvases and a pair of custom kicks for showcase. If you're in the area or want to make the trip, this is the first event so come on event and support the cause! 

St. Joe live also gave it a cover as well, they quoted, "Pritchett says that items that will be available exclusively at the Affordable Art Party include drawings, paintings and photographs as well as a few canvases from graffiti artist Kendall Blakeney (Pritchett says she’s trying to convince Blakeney to decorate some skateboard decks, too)." That made me laugh pretty hard. Feel free to check out the full story on Stjoelive.com for more info! :

Follow Up . . . .

I didn't get a chance to make it out to this show but I heard it had a very good turnout which is good for Art.i.facts, participating artists/musicians and the city of St. Joseph. Good ol' Joe doesn't have much culture so it's always pretty cool to see something like this come together that people look forward to coming to. I sold a couple pieces so it was a good turnout for me and a few other artists as well. Next months' (September) show will showcase 'functional art' such as shoes, skate decks, apparel or anything that moves or can be moved/used. So come on out if you're in the area and support the cause!

Update - New Video, Custom Kicks and Works in Progress!

I've been pretty busy these past couple weeks with all sorts of stuff. Better news is I have a new video uploaded and another to follow. You should watch it, tell your friends and help me grow! Check out the Custom Kicks in the gallery for some new kicks and 2 more pair are to be added soon so check back! I'm starting on many projects this week including the 2 pairs of kicks, custom controllers and the Halo Mural!

For now, I bring you:
Cowboy BEBOP!

New Project: PSR Van

I have many projects lined up right now but I think this might be one of my favorites. I've never painted on a vehicle before so It's a great learning experience. There is only a few elements of the company I have to add and the rest is my own personal style. This is for Team PSR, a car audio shop in St. Joseph MO, this should turn out to be interesting. . . Stay tuned for more info!
