Matthew James Powell III (CLOWN)

 When I met Matthew James Powell the Third, I only knew him as "CLOWN" and was over the moon to be in his presence. I had always studied the graff mags and his work was regularly featured in a lot of them. I guess you can say he was kind of like a celebrity to me. Over the years our friendship grew and I was able to spend time with him and his crew making art, painting wall murals and getting to learn so much a long the way.

Matthew is a genius of many styles in the art world. He has mastered the art of graffiti, used his skills on the sets of films and commercials, created many beauitful works of fine art with acrylic on canvas, and now is a full flegged Tattoo artist in Tarzana California where he is making his mark on the art world a little more permanantly.

Matt and I have decided to create a small detailed work of art for the show, please come out on Fri. May 2012 to see it and all the others that will be on display.
