it's SWELL time

We're headed to steamy New York City for the opening of SWELL on July 1st, launched at three Chelsea locations: Nyehaus, Metro Pictures and Friedrich Petzel Gallery, the SWELL art exhibition is a merging of West and East coast cultures featuring the work of over fifty artists (myself included), documenting the art movements of Los Angeles and New York, these urban environs and their oceanic proximity, over the course of several decades.
