NEW WORKS COMMING SOON

So I have been pretty busy with work and travel. I have cleaned up the table I work at and am now ready to dive into some new works. Moving to New York has been a pretty crazy experience. I wasn't sure if it was a good move for the longest time. I gave up a great place to make art in Minneapolis and left some of the best people I know. I have however managed to find myself in a good spot in Brooklyn with people I love. I am now just starting to feel like I am settled down and can really attack and get going on making art on a regular basis. Life is too short to get upset up on the things we don't have or the things that have changed in our lives. Ultimately we are the ones in control of our bodies and our actions. So look out, and keep looking.

NEW VIDEO OUT BY THIS JERK?

2 THINGS

I have been out for awhile. I was on tour with the Rhymesayers family for the last 5 months. Got home to Minneapolis crushed out this painting with artist Shawn McNulty for a colab show at Fox Tax. I then packed up my studio and stuff and moved to Brooklyn.

Birth of Man -  Isaac Arvold and Shawn McNulty
Well I have be away for awhile. I have been drawing a lot in my sketch book and trying to translate those drawings into paintings. I am also working on a mural with some really good friends at the Alternative Bike & Board shop on Lyndale and lake street.

ALMOST HOMELESS FINAL VIDEO and im not good at this blog thing.

Well looking at the calendar my schedule is somewhat hectic. not so much with art but with traveling and other things. it has been too long since i have been at the studio. i must leave minneapolis one more time for work. not complaining by any means but it would be nice to have a regular routine of being home. that being said, the art i have been working has pleased me. i just need to buckle down and hit it. if you haven't seen the final video of our 'almost homeless' show at first amendment check it out.
