Three New Coaster Sets To Make Your Cold Beer Happy

New iPhone Case, A One Of A Kind Original

Here is the latest iPhone Case I've been commissioned to paint. This is the third one I've done so far, but it's the first one I've done for a collector from out of town, so that was pretty exciting.

Get Up And Stay Up!

"Get Up And Stay Up"
This is my latest edition to Dayler and I'm super stoked about it! I think it's a must have wallet for anybody that has ever had any interest in the art of graffiti.


And I'm happy to say that it's available online at http://dayler.etsy.com

New Goodies To Add Life To Your Walls

I've got some new goodies! I now have matted prints. These are the first two, but I have plenty more in the works. These are 5" x 7" prints in 8" x 10" mats. Soon I will have 8" x 10" prints in 11" x 14" mats. Yes, that's a standard frame size so you don't have to break the bank to frame these. All of these new prints will be signed on the back.














These two are currently available in my etsy shop.

After Much Debate I Won Myself Over

I suppose it was only a matter of time before I started selling spray paint online. For now I can't quite justify offering one can at a time. For one, the shipping wouldn't be worth it and for two I would get really confused on keeping up with the inventory for in store sales as well as online. My solution: Paint Packs!


This is the first pack I have available and I think it's a good one. I love these colors and one could do a lot with this particular combination. The blue and green look awesome together as do the black and chrome. Grey and red is also pretty nice together. You can come up with a lot of options using these six colors.


For now these Paint Packs will be available in my Ebay Store. This coming week I'll try to come up with a couple of other packs.

Stoked On The New Paint Job!

So, here's my bike last Monday afternoon.


Sadly, It's taken me six days to take a photo of the bike all put back together again. I just went for a fun little ride downtown and found myself in this alley to take a couple of photos.








I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that my living room no longer looks like this.

Creative Street Art For The Taking. Enjoy!

I love creative and clever street art. Happening upon this made my day. I see nothing wrong with leaving artistically enhanced women's accessories on the streets. It's functional art for the taking.

My Obsession With Chubby Birds Has Yet To Wane.

The latest in the "Cookbook Pages" series. Also, I seem to be really into these chubby birds lately. This one is available for $30 in my etsy shop.

To Write Love On Her Arms

Last Friday my friend Julie came by the gallery on her way to Ventura so I could draw a little picture on her arm. She was on her way to the TWLOHA event. That stands for "To Write Love On Her Arms". Check out the link for more info. Anyway, this is what I came up with and I didn't have much time, but at least she didn't go to the event empty armed.







Yep, the Krink never fails.
And it looks like Henry started a trend with this arm drawing thing.

As It Turns Out My Living Room Is Actually A Bike Shop

At the present moment my living room doubles as a bike workshop. That poor old IKEA rug has seen better days. I finally reached my breaking point. I bought new tires. It's true, the old back tire was so worn down it would make Lance Armstrong throw up a handle bar. I figured if I am going through all the trouble of changing the tires I might as well just go for the entire overhaul. Although I loved the paint job that came on this bike the time has come to make it my own. I have yet to decide what colors, but seeing as how I have access to this




I'm not too worried about a lack of color options to choose from. It's now too late to paint, but tomorrow I plan on spraying to my heart's content. Or at least until the bike is totally covered. Stay tuned.

Patrick "The Giraffiti" Lawler

Halloween. Daytime. Phone Rings.
"Claassen Gallery."
"Hey Jeff, it's Pat."
"Hey Pat, What's up?"
"I was wondering if you can help me out with my Halloween costume. I have a giraffe mask and am going to be The Giraffiti. So, I was wondering if you can do some spray stuff on a shirt for me."
"Hell yeah!"














Oh yeah, Patrick is awesome with a video camera in his hand. Check it.

Krink Arm Drawing On Henry

So, I'm in the gallery hanging artwork last week when Henry and Kelly stop by. If I remember correctly our conversation went from Where The Wild Things Are to the new waffles at Bel Frites to coffee shops to napkin stores to the fact that if you're a squirrel (male or female) you are always thinking about nuts to a number of other things that aren't directly related. At some point Henry asked if I would draw on his arm. I pulled out the trusty Krink and did this speedy little gem.

Get Naked And Jump In

It's been a good year for commissions! This is the latest one and one that I consider the most ambitious commission project to date. It's by far the biggest three dimensional object I've ever painted. Enjoy!

Five New Paintings On Some Awesome Old Ass Paper.

A few years ago while helping my parents clean out their garage I found this old cookbook from 1964 that was chock full o' awesome clip art. Instead of tossing the cookbook into the big dump trailer I snuck away and put it in safe keeping just knowing that one day I would find a use for a forty five year old book full of recipes. And that day has finally arrived.

















And now for the details.
Each piece measures 6" x 9".
They were all painted with acrylic and my beloved india ink. Oh how I love india ink. Sigh.
They are $30 each and can be purchased in my ETSY SHOP.
