Recap: RE:GENERATIONS CD Release and Exhibit

I finally uploaded all my fotos from the month long   RE:GENERATIONS Nat King Cole CD/Exhibit   festivities back in March.

Before the public opening Capitol Records/Spin Mag/KCRW and others sponsored the CD release party. It was good timers and even with the alley open it was super duper packed. A very supreme night.

Here’s me, “mi osito”, Chaz and his wife Christina at the release party

A blurry foto of part of my fam bam at the release party. We were also celebrating the good news that Rebeca (the shortest one in the photo) is preggers with her second child!

with Carole Cole, the mastermind behind the entire project. A true visionary and advocate for the musicians and us visual artists on the project.

Check out more CD release party photos HERE and HERE.

Then the public opening was during the Downtown Artwalk.

This is Sophia.  Before I started working on the RE:GEN project I had seen her mom pregnant about to pop. I hadn’t met her yet due to my hermit status. I met her at the opening. She was already 5MONTHS OLD!!!

then the next weekend was the LACMA MUSE event for Muse memebers. There was music and spoken word from a variety of great peeps such as , Ted Lange (that’s right Isaac Washington from The Love Boat)

Mrs. Nichelle Nichols ( Lieutenant Uhura from Star Trek)

and look who was there supporting friends Miss O.G. Supreme herself Mary Wilson posing with Overton Loyd who drew her live on the spot.

more fotos of this night can be found HERE.

The Closing reception was a benefit with live painting.

Richard Montoya from Culture Clash was the Auctioneer and was nice enough to buy one of my pieces.

Natalie Cole stopped by to support before she hit up Prince at Nokia. She’s here with one of the live pieces I hit with one of my Nat stencils.
