A view of the historic Moore Building in the Miami Design District - The stage of our show!

The interior was a dramatic and stunning setting for equally stunning work.

A completely custom Laser-Etched mosaic panel piece I created for the show. The intricate typographic details spell "BRAVE" laser-etched from birch wood.

Set-Up at our SOHO Show which opened at Openhouse Gallery - This space was soon packed with hundreds of revelers ready for a show!

When DIESEL and The KDU collaborate on an art exhibition you can expect a real "Show of Force". To celebrate the launch of their latest fragrance 'Only The Brave' Diesel asked us to create works which reflected Bravery. We collected works from KDU members the world over. More than 30 members participated, representing over 15 countries. The aesthetic force of The KDU converged to create a visual experience of epic proportions.

The NEW YORK show opened in SOHO's Openhouse Gallery to a capacity crowd. The show then hit the road for a debut in Miami's historic MOORE Building in the Design District. The classical space, replete with a permanent architectural installation by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, created the perfect backdrop to the amazing body of work. We put our blood, sweat and tears into this show. My sincere thanks to all the members who participated in this showing. There's just too many for me to name so I won't even try. Thanks to all of you - y'all know who you are! The overwhelming response we've received has been humbling.

I personally created many works specifically for this show, I'll be sure to display them here in better detail in the near future. Stay tuned for an soon-to-be-released Video Documentary on the entire show!!! For now, check the official site for more info : ISBRAVE.COM. This was definitely one for the history books...
More coming soon.
