David Garibaldi/POOL Trade Show

We did POOL again for the third time and it was better than last time, which was better than the time before that, which was even better than that other show we did, which at the time was terrific. That being said,

we had a corner booth off of the main aisle across from Free Gold Watch (3rd time at a show with them as neighbors strangely enough) and right next to where Garibaldi was going to do his live paintings. So the time comes, they announce over the p.a. "shows about to start", he shows up, a crap-load of people gather, and he knocks out a rad portrait of Michael Jackson in like 5 minutes. But it doesn't feel like 5 minutes because the whole time he's dancing around, pointing at people, jumping in the air, real cool shit you know!?

I think at the time he even had a nice leather jacket on which doesn't sound like much unless you've ever seen this guy paint. He's painting with his hands, he's throwing paint, there's paint on the floor, probably would have been paint on the ceilings had they not been 75 feet in the air. Cool dude to boot. garibaldiarts.com  And yes, I know I did the "This guy" photo thing but I was pretty excited and he truly is an awesome and unique artist.
