New TRUNKS ART Release: On Your Marks..."Race Day!"

"Race Day" is definitely a slight departure from my usual works. Actually, this fun and lighthearted piece was created in response to requests I've received from various running and fitness organizations here in Ventura County...so...with that said, don't be shocked to see this image on a whole bunch of T-shirts in the near future!

Here's more of the meaning behind this piece:
If you knew me (even slightly) in the 90's, chances were I was just a blur running by. I ran so much that whole life phases came second to weekly mileage, interval training and weekend races. But spending all that time on the roads and trails wasn't always so uneventful. I ran the first few miles of the L.A. Marathon with actor Dennis Quaid, bumped into Olympian Bruce Jenner on the Los Robles Trail and was mistakenly hugged by actress Jamie Lee Curtis in Malibu! I even ran right up to and met former President Ronald Reagan in Santa Monica and did the same thing to former Vice President Dick Cheney in Austin – apparently, I'm not very dangerous looking as I was able to zip right through the Secret Service guys without making one of them put a nervous finger on their ear piece…really?!

Meeting celebs and VIPs was pretty cool, but the real characters were the people I trained and raced with – a bunch of good guys and gals who went from mere training partners to dear friends. “Race Day” doesn't even come close to capturing the cherished hilarity of all these fine folks but the message is clear – getting to know these people was the best part of running – or this image would've been a picture of me hugging Jamie Lee Curtis!

*"Race Day" (32x24) is part of my A La Art Series. It's available on paper or canvas as limited edition prints (75). Licensing of this image is available as well.

TRUNKS ART: Adding Color to Earlier Works to Accommodate Collectors!

As I was developing my signature art style, a lot of my earlier images were black and white. Today, I'm finding that some collectors are interested in these earlier works - but they want me to add color to them. In this photo, I'm adding color to "Straight A's" - per the specifications of the collector. It's a 24x32 canvas piece that's out of my "True Love Series."

TRUNKS ART selected for CD album cover!

"Numb Again" is the latest effort from native Californian sAs (aka Steve Sciallo). This evocative and sanguine collection of gently downtempo electronic songs, warm, sweet tempered beats and ambient textures echo sAs’ eclectic approach to musical composition. These instrumental pieces are haunting and spartan. It's the sound of the world that lies beneath mind, perpetually shifting and pulsing with somatic activity.

To hear samples of sAs's music from the critically acclaimed "Numb Again" CD or from his wildly successful debut CD, "Future Memory," please visit his website at www.wildoatsineden.com.

New Release from TRUNKS ART - "Strawberry Festival!"

Make no mistake about it - I love smoothies just as much as the next person but this composition is a tribute to the many strawberry festivals that dot the Southern California coastline every Spring. My goal for this piece was pretty simple - make the strawberries look inviting and put them in a fun environment. I hope you like it. "Strawberry Festival" is a limited edition of 75 prints on high quality canvas or paper.


Picture above: 24"x32" canvas print of "Strawberry Festival."

TRUNKS ART is featured in the '08 winter issue of "Diva Latina" Magazine!

I'm really proud to be the featured artist in the current issue of Diva Latina, a seasonal magazine geared toward the more sophisticated latina culture in LA, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. And having been in the art business for quite some time, I found the publisher and editor-in-chief, Natty Rios-Sipes, and the creative director, Roberto Ramirez, to be off the charts in terms of professionalism and passion. With people like this, Diva Latina has no where to go but up!
