A Lower East Side store front opened up a new business recently calledDream Come True K9 and the owner, Blake Rodriguez, wanted to have street art adorn the three roll gates where a new sign replaced the decades old ‘VideoLand’ sign. Fellow artist, Joseph Meloy and I collaborated together where Meloy painted his grafstract designs as a background and I illustrated the dog imagery. We began in late July and completed the gates in mid August. The work wasn’t able to finish quic

During the summer of 2013 I was invited by the city of Itri, in southern Italy near the coast of the Terranean Sea to create a mural on the 80 yard wall on Via Cescole (LINK to article from 2013 in Itri). I finished half of the wall and was asked to come back again this year and complete the last 40 yards. The first half of the mural was about the glorious history of this ancient city, painting imagery of Rome, the medieval castle, La Madonna della Civita, la testa del cane,

This has been an amazing summer for fumeroizing and the last week of August was the icing on the cake. I was invited by Steve Stoppert, who shares his A.M. Art Stop photos on Facebook. There he posts photos of street art, mainly around Manhattan. Steve is an avid lover of art and especially street art. I met him in September of 2013 while I was painting a gate in the LES. Since then we have become friends and he is the one who told me about the wall on 2nd Ave. and Houston

Presented by: Fumeroism, Global Mixx Radio, Aphotic, and SinCésure The time has arrived once again to celebrate art and music in a beautiful Bushwick setting! Last April we witnessed the beginning of a terrific marriage between the street art community and local underground dance music on top of a unique Brooklyn rooftop called #The407Bushwick. On July 26 the magic of sight and sound will be recaptured with even more artists and new music collaborations. THE ART New murals be

It was that time of the year when the residents of a special neighborhood in Astoria, Queens and AD HOC collaborate together to throw the 5th annual Welling Court Mural Project. Over 80 local and international artists come to paint the neighborhood turning it into an outdoor gallery once again. It was my 4th time painting at the wall located at Main and 30th Avenues, across the street from the community garden park. This year I wanted to bring back portraiture but in a diff

Governor’s Ball NYC is a huge music festival that converted Randall’s Island into an open field for their 150k+ attendees to party for three days this past weekend. I was honored to be among the talented group of 17 NY artists selected to bring ‘sight’ with the ‘sound’ for the masses to enjoy. My contributions to the event were three fumeroized wood panels ranging in size from 8’x8′ to 11’x8′ and were; The Army of One tribute, Notorious BIG and a Grampa/TSLogo wheat paste co

I went back to the Bushwick Collective after almost a year since I last painted there. It felt good to be back, but this time I wasn’t alone. I had the honor and the pleasure to create with fellow artist, Raquel Echanique. She is known for her portraits based on abstract compositions filled with an infusion of dynamic lines, shapes and colors. Her style is bold, bright and vividly distinctive to those who know her expressive works on canvas. Last year was her breakthroug

The turnout for Saturday’s ‘Art in the Air’ event was unbelievable with a packed house and perfect weather. The 407 Bushwick roof top opened up to the public at noon with Aphotic hosting the beginning of the spring season by celebrating the collaboration between art and music, sight and sound. The visuals, being elevated on the roof and the audio creations performed by Onda Skillet with his Aerotropic label along with Jay Hill. New York City is steadily becoming known as th

March 22nd I went back to my spot at The Musket Room, a New Zealand restaurant and bar at 265 Elizabeth Street near the corner of Houston Street. It felt good to be back out there with my first mural of the spring, 2014 season and I took full advantage of the warm 63 degree weather. How could I not after being cooped up inside during the extremely long, cold and brutally snowy winter. The original gate came down when it broke about a week ago. I was going to paint over it,
