About the process

Super Dylan — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 01:10:45 +0000

I frequently get asked about my process. Here is a little documentation of a piece I have going now.

July 2010: This canvas has seen many places with a few different faces. The “GOLDEN STEEZ” as seen below hung in the hollywood district for quite a few months.

August 2011: Random Jager bottle ends up with a STEEZ Tattoo also.

August 2011: Jager STEEZ gets smashed for a new explosive canvas. Incidentally, usually I come out of these injury free. This Jager bottle got a good slice of my thumb. I was told it should have had stitches. I grabbed a beer, panicked a little bit and moved on with the work.

Aug. 2011: The broken glass gets glued to the canvas with a combination of hot glue and an excessive amount of paint. I buy the mis-tint paint at Lowes/Home Depot so I can use it with reckless abandon. Usually I paint over it so the color doesn’t matter. However, the way this looks currently I’m kind of inspired.

Stay Tuned… Graffiti Lettering starts now.

Burning Man Van

Sometimes Craigs List is crazy. I responded to an Ad on friday afternoon that basically said “We are heading to Burning Man and want a crazy mural on our van before we head out. We’ll be in Portland for one evening on our way down, anybody want to trade a bunch of beer to paint our van?” Of course I did!! I got the hook up from some new friends on a bunch of Ninkasi and Rogue Beer and in turn spent about 4 hours painting their van. I ran out of daylight towards the end, but got this great picture from the first side. Hopefully when they return from burning man more pictures will surface.

Bob Marley Pop Print Now Available!

Here is the Bob Marley painting unveiled at it’s new home in Milwaukee this past Saturday night. Everyone in attendance seemed very pleasantly surprised with how the painting looks in person. The piece looks fantastic in the room it’s been placed in, and the owner is very happy. What a great place for Bob to live. Pop prints are now available here.

Pistol River Creative is growing

Super Dylan — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:06:53 +0000

It’s always been my intent to develop Pistol River Creative into a loosely assembled multi-artist vehicle instead of the Dylan Toomey brand. I’m proud to announce PRC has grown with the addition of two fantastic artists. Chris Orr, Jacqueline Smith and I are doing a group show from October through November at Good Neighbor Pizza. The opening on October 2nd will feature a humble party with the three of us on hand to discuss Art and Inspiration. Join us for some great food, cold beer and stick around afterwards for an after party at the Toomey house just down the street.
