The new studio is all together and now it’s time to paint!

The first painting off 2012 is about to hit the streets! After a nice break on the East Coast with family and friends I’m back in San Diego, Ca. and soooo ready to start pumping out new works. I’m working on a few commissions as we speak and looking forward to teaming up with peeps from all over the map in 2012! There will be a few new paths coming to life this year so I’m pumped to get things rolling! Awwww Yea! -monty
