Grafix Jam - John Rios

Francesca and Sharkey

As usual, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted. If you are supposed to diversify in business, than I am doing things just right. Some days lately, I look back at the events of the day and think “wow”. 

I’ve been working on a project that is so big, huge and cool that it blows my mind. I’m not ready to blog about it but I’ll say this. A year ago, I looked back at the body off my work over the years and thought I’ve done everything. My art has been featured on everything from toys and games, concert T-shirts and stages, dvd’s, c.d.’s, posters, magazines,a  tv show, the cover of a new york times best seller and so on. What do I want to do next? What is the most far fetched thing I can think of that I’d like to apply my art to. Well, I am working on that far fetched thing right now. It will be out next year but as soon as I can, I’ll post what it is.

This past week, Francesca and Sharkey- Martha Stewart’s dogs, posted my artwork on their blog. There are some photos of the dogs, looking at my illustration, that are just hilarious. The art is posted here but your should really go look at the photos.

The Last Vegas site

 One of the many projects that Nikki Sixx is involved with / responible for brining to your ears, is a new band called “The Last Vegas” which is on his label . If you haven’t heard them yet you owe it to yourself to give them a listen, if you like hard driving straight forward rock and roll. These guys are awesome.

It’s kind of a long story how this came to be so I won’t bore you but, if you go to their web site, you can download one of my latest creations as a wallpaper.  The illustration features Chad Cherry , lead singer of the band, and an amorous fan in a kind of back stage dungeon scenario.

Hope you enjoy.
