Chelsea vs Inter Milan at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.......

Manda got us tickets for this match, so awesome... It took us awhile to get there, and we missed the first half... but we still had fun, despite all the shit.... Thank you baby for getting these tickets..... I hope that Megan and Brim had fun too.... I think they did....

I am obviously having fun...

Manda gets the tickets at will call for us....

There was a huge crowd, over 80,000 people that showed up to see this match

So awesome to see the Rose Bowl filled... My first trip to the stadium, and it was to see Chelsea...too Cool

Mess of cars and crowd trying to leave... They parked all the extra cars on a golf course Aggie-Style... I know the greens-keeper was pissed that next day!

Artsy pic of Brim in the foreground and Manda and Megan up ahead, along with the mass of humanity that was leaving the Rose Bowl

THE FUNK RUMBLE..... JULY 11th, 2009.............................

Manda and I had our first show together... She made jewelry, printed out some of her best photos, She has really emerged as an excellent artist with the camera... I brought my paintings, shoes, and some currency cans and cash-wrapped objects, as well as the clothing that she and I made together and a painting that we both did together...

I want to thank Michelle Corros, and Spektr, As well as The Flock Shop and Chinatown for having this event.

I also want to thank those that bought artwork, and jewelry...especially Mikeal Maglieri, who purchased my painting A Storm Brewing Hawaiian Style... I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did making it and talking to you about it. Thanks man.

I need to also thank Manda and my parents for putting up the cash and always supporting us in all our endeavors... we love you both so much....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Manda before the day got cranked up...

Nice pic of the whole set-up...especially Everyday in LA, the piece we did together

Thanks for the tent, Mom and Dad, it really came in handy....

The Cicada has more Lalique Glass than any other building in the world...including this beautiful chandelier...


The entire place is so sharp...so Art Deco... Olivatt really knew what he was doing.

I tried to raise money for charity, but no one bid on my painting... long night... I was invited up on stage to address the audience, and as I told them, I was just happy to be a part of it all... And Al B. Sure performed.... he was great, and so was his son... very entertaining, almost made up for the rest of the night.

THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$-Three Friends Who Loved Track

I just finished with the Texas Relays Painting, just in time for my Pop to take it down and show all his friends at the meet. I really had a blast completing this guy and getting it out to my Dad. I know that everyone enjoyed seeing it, and I just wanted to get the guys right for my Pop... They were all three friends that worked together at the relays for years. My Dad, Dr. Douglas Moore is on the left, His pal Rooster Andrews is in the middle, and on the end his other buddy, Tex Kassen. The piece is entitled Three Friends Who Love Track.

PEACE,

The Big Blog By Travi$- New Project- A Painting for Joey PART 2

JOEY GETS HIS PAINTING!!!!


Just wanted to give you guys and update on the painting I did for Joey. I finally got it together and took it up to give it to him at his "office", The Rainbow Bar & Grill. So luckily Mike was there and he took our picture together.. Then I took their picture, anyway... We had a slice of pizza, and I thanked him again for signing a headshot for my folks... They gave it to a kiddo that plays the drums at the local high school. They thought it might inspire him, and Joey obliged... Great buddy. I hope he likes the painting... I think he did. I enjoyed doing it for him.

Joey with the painting, nice close-up by Mike.

Another shot of Joey with the painting.

Joey and Mikeal together, along with my shadow..HA.. Thanks Mike, for taking the other pics.

Another pic by Mike, of Me and the JOEYS.

Once again thanks so much Joey. I know you will enjoy this painting.

THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$-New Sports Themed Artwork

NEW ARTWORK BY TRAVIS

Sports Themed Paintings.....

Hey Everyone,

Just weanted to do a quick update on new pieces that I have been working on, both are sports themed, and both are in different styles...

The first piece is of Usain Bolt, the Olympic World Record holder in the 100m, and the 200m...
Just a combo of Sharpie and Acrylic... The piece really pops, with all the extra line work... It measures 18"x 24" and is on canvas... Ready to be framed or mounted on the wall as is....

Usain Bolt....

Detail of the piece, you can see the linework...

Another detail of Bolt's legs pumping...

Close-up of the arms, and the movement in the piece...

Close shot of his leg surging upward...

NEXT......

This piece is of Micheal Irvin when the Playmaker was still making plays for the Cowboys...

It is acrylic on canvas, and measures 18"x24", and is ready for framing or it can be mounted on the wall in your office or gameroom, and it will really look sweet. Perfect for any Cowboys fan.

Full shot of the piece, you can feel the energy...

You can't see it as well in this detail, but the helmet is reflective metallic....

Detail of the crowd and the official running with the play...

Another close shot of Irvin...

Detail of his hand reaching up for the ball...

Just wanted to let you all see these pieces, hope you like them... Also, look for our new handouts and flyers featuring these pieces and other sports related paintings coming soon....

Have a great day.

Peace,

Travis
