thanks to everyone who attended and showed their support at my photography show for the past 3 weeks. The closing party was a big success and I sold MOST of my prints!! pretty amazing. I will be updating my website with the new work, but in the meantime, you can visit Mighty Tanaka’s online store and order prints from there.
Thank you again. The support is what keeps us artists going.
I did this piece for a friend as a gift. I painted over another piece and took advantage of the texture, which is one of my favorite things to do. Used very quick brush work and kept a light and loose approach. I’m happy with the result. I hope she is too…

I have a show this coming July at Mighty Tanaka Studio with 2 talented Photographers (stay tuned for more details!!). I will be showing my latest collection of in-camera multiple exposures shot with 35mm film. I used both my grandfather’s olympus OM-1 and re-shot most of it with my trusty Lomo LC-A. I never use photoshop, what you see is how they look straight from the negative scans. I’m not hating on photoshop, in fact, I use it everyday for work, but with my photography I much rather go as traditional as I can. Its a lot more fun this way.
Below is one of the latest multiple exposures. This particular photo was shot at downtown Barcelona late one night. On this trip I experimented with the Olympus, the Lomo and my ‘78 Hasselblad. I’m very much looking forward showing everyone my latest work.

Been shooting with my hassy and holga lots lately. Below is an example of my latest pics. a little taste of what my shows will be about…kinda.

update: I’ve taken most of my recent work down on my flickr, since I will be showing in San Francisco this January…I’ll repost after the show.
I’m painting againnnnnnnnnnnnn! I’m back painting with oils and it feels amazing. I love it. this has taken too long. I decided to do a series on birds. Cute little furry birds. They are small and fun and quick paintings. Just what I need to get back into it. I hope you enjoy. Here’s the first one.
