Emerging LA artist Leftyjoe.

Hi guys,
Leftyjoe is now on Artslant,

Thanks to Booleep!!!

LA artist Booleep and I where at an event a while back, here's the motley crew of interchangeable friends.

Some more NM stuff for the line revised.

Wish us luck, the line that I'm revising will hopefully be bought for the YELLOW RAT BASTARD franchise and carried in 29 stores across NY city. Wish me luck, hopefully someone like the tees!



I'm trying to portray a positive yet tajic message in these NATURE'S MISTAKE shirts. Hopefully other animal lovers dig the hidden meaning. :P

Nature's Mistake: holiday 09 line.

So, with a little help, and some inspiration; I'm gonna take some interesting approaches for the line based on Carson (the other NM artist) Cornett's designs. Check them out.

Latest updates!!!

So guys,
I'm back from Vegas.
I had a lot of fun at the apparel show Magic. I got to paint live in front of the Natures Mistake booth! ( Which btw Matt Geiger has left in my hands now. I'll be doing the sales reppin' and the art direction as well as the designing for Nature's Mistake.)
Thank you Matt, I won't let you down! I'll keep Nature's Mistake up and running and I'll take it to new heights!
I'll post the pics from the event soon.

My solo show at FARHAUS was sadly put on hold because of the Vegas trip. I tried to kill two birds with one stone by painting all my solo show pieces while at Vegas. (but it was really hard to paint and concentrate while tons of people approached me to chat the entire time) So, I guess it was like painting my solo show pieces live and letting some peepz take a sneak peek before the pieces came back to LA with me for the solo exhibition..

Well, so the show debut reception was supposed to be the 5th of September, but, since we all came back from Vegas tired, not to mention all the planning that went on for the Vegas trip, pretty much resulted in my solo show being put on the back burner. I don't mind, I'll work out the details with the lovely manager at FARMHAUS later this week.
I'm planning to do the art for the show all this month, and hang the art as it is completed. I'll invite you all to stop in periodically to check out my work as it comes into the shop! I may even try to hang out in front of the shop and paint live.
I'll iron out the details, but I'm planning on having the closing reception on September 25th from 6-9 at FARMHAUS,
chek this link for the details on the shop, (stay tuned on my blogs for final details on my solo show and more)
