Studio 23 black light show ’24

Alameda , CA | # of Attendees: 100

I had the opportunity to paint for another black light show at Studio 23, and this time I joined forces with @prof.jelly. We set up on the outskirts of the space where we had more space for people to walk around and check our set-up.

We both ended up selling some art, and it was cool to see Prof. Jelly sell the piece he started at the event! I sold some paper prints of some of my favorite pieces, so we both walked away happy to be able to share our art with the world.

Treasurefest June

Treasure Island | # of Attendees: ~1,500

This was my second time live painting for Treasurefest, and this time I forgot to bring my large canvas. It’s okay because I brought another painting I wanted to work on. I also brought a little more merch to try to sell, and the other artist brought an ez-up for his display, so I was thinking it would be awesome if I brought mine as well. I had a good time meeting the new artists around me since they switched from the last time.

‘Taking over 6+ blocks of Avenue N, flanked by palm trees and with gorgeous views of the Bay Bridge, Treasure Fest brings back its festival with live music, 300+ curated vendors, food trucks and tons of food pop-ups, a full bar, seasonal cocktails and more.’

Out Of Office Event by Thematic Ent.

San Francisco | # of Attendees: 50

I returned for a 3rd time at the same event. Around this time I was finishing up with school, so I took a break from live painting for a few months after this event. It was nice meeting up with the organizer this time around, and we had a chance to talk about their future events and his vision with this project. I love to see the passion behind th drive these events forward.

Treasurefest February

Treasure Island | # of Attendees: ~1,500

This was my first time live painting for Treasurefest and it was just the beginning. I reached out to the organizers through Instagram, where I ‘slid in their DMs’ to make a new connection. I had a blast, and met some new fellow artists while making art.

This was a 2-day event to showcase 150-200 local Bay Area artists. Space has two rooms upstairs and 2 larger rooms downstairs, with the artwork filling every space of the walls. There were so many walls that they brought extra walls, and organized the work in a ‘Salon d’Independence’ style.

Wormhole 11 year anniversary

Public Works @ San Francisco | # of Attendees: ~300

This was my first time live painting at Public Works, and I was invited my @Prof.jelly as an initiate of the Wormhole Mural Squad. We were celebrating the 11th anniversary of music group called Wormhole, known for hosting one of the stages for a major bass festival called Untz Music Festival.

The space was really cool, and they placed the live painters together on the balcony looming over the main stage.

Studio 23 black light show ’23

Alameda, CA | # of Attendees: ~100

For this event I dressed up as an astronaut and brought my art to life with UV lights. It was a pleasure to also see 2 members of the Wormhole Mural Squad, so we stood beside each other as we painted on our own pieces throughout the night. It was also nice to connect with the organizers of studio 23.

Bass Brunch – Live Painting

In the heart of San Francisco, this event hosted bass music and waffles to a crowd of 100 people. The sound quality was immaculate, and the performances were lively, from the music to the dancers.

I really liked the way they had everything set up, and you can tell they had the space well- thought out. They even had an inflatable slide with a pool of plastic balls like at Chuck-E-Cheeses! The vibes were nice.

Starvibes Campout – Decompression Event

Monarch Gardens, San Francisco | About 50 Participants

This was my first time painting live at this venue, and it wouldn’t be my last either. I made connections here that would bring me to future events in the San Francisco, so I was grateful for being a part of this event.

I discovered this event by searching for festivals in Northern California. Instagram can be very distracting, but it can be useful for networking. Initially I was going to be a part of their live painting of the festival, but I was in Romania visiting family during that time. So I made it to the decompression event and got a chance to work on a painting that I recently started.
