Truly honored to be featured in @hifructosemag issue 76. I gave this interview back in July, and Liz Ohanesian did a superb job on the article. I hope you all grab a copy and check out all the art im fortunate enough yo be amongst. Many thanks to Atta & Annie for the opportunity!
Portrait of Jazz, an artist I met near my studio in SOMA. If you’ve ever walked through the neighborhood, you may have seen him at work on cardboard or canvas taped to a barred gate under the bay bridge. He’s very prolific, often hanging over 20 works at once as he works with a steady hand on the next one. He generously agreed to have me paint this portrait.
Tidying up for OPEN STUDIOS here at @bridgestudiocollective this Saturday.
Join myself and the rest of Bridge Studio Collective as we open our doors this coming Saturday, May 16th, from 10am-6pm.
I’ll be in my studio from 12-5. Gonna sweep all the staples off the floor, and put out original works, framed works, and prints for sale. I’ll have some supplies set up for kids to paint and draw as well.
All available works will be discounted, including many not listed on my site.
Drop by to say hello, check out the space, pick up some art, and talk shop. I’ll be working on something new in-between hosting you fine people.
Hope to see you in person on Saturday!

Sketchbook work I’m okay with sharing.
In fact, I’m so okay with sharing that I’ll be showing the book in its entirety at @ryangraffcontemporary , along with a star studded roster & their sketchbooks. Come see me and my work at its most vulnerable!
Cover of a sketchbook I’ll be sharing in a show coming up at @ryangraffcontemporary , curated by the great @andrewcadima . The book will feature works disassembled and reassembled, some from life, some from photo, some from illustration work. It’s an experiment in collage, but a lot of my work has a collage feel anyways so here we go. 🏄♂️
“John Madden” by Jon Stich, presented at our group exhibition “Visual Field” during Super Bowl LX week.
Jon is a stellar artist with an uncanny ability to capture the essence of his subjects. His painting of John Madden as head coach of the Oakland Raiders was originally commissioned by the NFL for their Los Angeles headquarters, where a 10 foot high reproduction exists as part of a large scale mural.
Since age nine, Jon Stich has been creating pictures, with his earliest works found on the backs of Red Lobster menus. Although (he claims) those were some of his strongest pieces, he still thinks the best is yet to come. He lives and works in San Francisco.
