Vinton Street Graffiti Festival

A while back i was approached by Oscar Duran (President of Deer Park Neighborhood http://deerparkomaha.blogspot.com/) to help set up a graffiti festival. After months of planning we were finally able to put it together. So at the event which took place May 12, we had mad support from all the participating and non participating artist, merchants, vendors, breakdancers, musicians, kids and the thousands of people who were there. Check out the pictures coutersy of Sam Heron, Blacksheep Photography and Dale Heise Photography....Ohh yea the mayor was there

First Friday: Live Painting at House of Loom

Here is the paintings i created Friday at The House of Loom. The event went well and we had a good number of people show up to support. For all those who put their names in the raffle but did not win, send me and email (tchofor2000@yahoo.com) i have a little appreciation gift for you. Thanks for the support

Show At the Hardware Gallery

This show is the result of a collaboration between Brian Tait and Gerard Pefung.

There were 2 rules:
You must leave a trace of the previous painting & both have to agree its done.

Sharing a studio space in the Old Market, having backgrounds in street art, mentoring local kids, both make a living solely selling their work…. A colab seemed inevitable.
Constantly working to strive on an international level, this was a chance to create what was in the moment.

There will be food and drinks.
Specialty drink HARDtini
Vegan Friendly
