Sticker Kit Print
Dave and Holly Combs are wonderful people as well as the founders of PEEL Zine. They took the risk of following their artistic passion and have paid the price of losing their home. I created this print with and for them to raise money to help with their huge debt. PEEL has helped to support and grow the street art community and I believe they deserve to have the favor returned. Profits from this print go to help the Combs family. Please help out.

Our friends at Causecast are putting together a flashmob this Sunday in Los Angeles to bring awareness to the human rights violations in Burma. The poster I created of Burmese leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, for Jack Healy and the Human Rights Action Center will be given to all participants of the flashmob. See below for details:
At 4:00 p.m sharp this Sunday at the Abbot Kinney Festival, hundreds of individuals will freeze in place, unfurl their free Shepard Fairey poster of Aung San Suu Kyi, and stand in silence for exactly five minutes to show their solidarity with Burma and raise awareness for her as the symbol of freedom. Then at 4:05 p.m. everyone will break their freeze, close the poster and pass out Burma information flyers to anyone around them.
Who: YOU! Anyone in Los Angeles and the Venice Area. Activists, artists, musicians, teachers, families, students…we need everyone.
