This is a custom Kathie Olivas Hazel Scavenger that I created for a golden ticket. It was a blindbox series I did in 2011. Check out more photos on my Flickr – http://www.flickr.com/photos/drilone/sets/72157629035406693/
So just in time for the Holidays you can get a painting by DrilOne. The paintings are 6″x6″ and 7.5″x7.5″ in a rusty frame. They are painted with Acrylic on a stretched canvas. It comes gift wrapped and blindboxed for $300. Just for the holidays it comes with a free custom toy (3″ Dunny, Pocket Kaiju, or something similar) and a small gas mask magnet. Also i will throw in random extras to make it a happier holiday. Pictured above are the 3 paintings, the frames vary from the photo.
They go on sale Monday 12 noon Pacific at my store – http://drilone.bigcartel.com/ for $300 plus shipping.
I was ask commissioned to customize a Leroy C. for Invisible Creature. I really like Leroy C., he is such a great character. Glad I was asked to paint one as I have been eying mine on the shelf.
Leroy C. was designed by Invisible Creature up in Northwestern Pacific and was produced by Super 7 in San Francisco. The vinyl toy was made in Japan.
Leroy C is available at Super7 – http://super7store.com/toys/leroy-c-2.html

Above the Radar II
On view from November 5 – December 3
Join us this Sunday as visiting curator Luna George (Crewest Gallery, Los Angeles) and Gallery Director, Alex Goldstein discuss how “Above the Radar II” came to be. Luna will discuss how she chose the artists and the message that she hopes to convey with this body–of–work. Alex will touch on the importance of the coast–to–coast collaboration. Both will discuss what street art means to local communities and how it has taken the art world by storm. This talk is open and free to the public.
This collaborative show will be on view from November 5 – December 3
This piece is for the Bill Murray tribute show called “Please Post Bills” at Gallery 1988 Melrose on November 3, 2011. I created this tribute to Bill Murray from a dancing Caddyshack gopher who plays Kenny Loggins. The title is called “Gophers Revenge”. The mask comes off. Enjoy!

Also by special invitation we have US super talent Drilone and from Germany, the awesome Bruno Orbit. The Anchoring theme of the show is simply ‘Icons’ and we have left how that’s interpreted firmly in the hands and minds of the artists.
This will be one hell of a party, besides the art exhibition there will be live painting from the likes of Guy McKinley, Hugh Rose and Tom J Newell. Music will be provided by upcoming, Leeds indie pop band, Escort Knights and brining his eclectic mix of party grooves is J.Cub, head honcho of E.A.R Recordings. There will be tons of giveaways, a fully licensed bar, pop up store and much more.
All the pieces from the show will be available to purchase on the night on a first come, first served basis. So if you want to snag something by your favourite artist they suggest you get down early. Any remaining customised artworks will be available via their online store: www.thehanggang.co.uk after the exhibition has finished.
The show artwork was created by the amazing, Leeds based illustrator, Drew Millward. It is going to be produced by the team over at whiteduckscreenprint.co.uk, as an A2, 3 colour screen print with an edition size of 100. It will be available for purchase at the show.
Curator and Hang Gang owner, Barry Darnell said, “Why do all the cool
parties have to take place in LA, NYC or LDN? We thought it was about time the North of England got some love and in particular, Leeds. People say nothing like this ever happens around here, well all that’s about to change!”To be in with a chance of winning a signed copy of the show poster simply follow the Hang Gang on twitter: @thehanggang between now and the 28th October and they will pick 2 lucky winners at random.
