Paint It! (mentioned below) is getting some press most notably in the 'Santa Monica Guide' where not only do they featured suit clad surfers on their covers but they find time to say nice things about me and my work. classes are going well, if you have time this Summer drop in for one!

I just starting teaching at Paint: Lab in Santa Monica on Main St. Its a new place that works as a drop in studio of sorts. You can take an instructed class with me Tuesday nights 6-8 for $40. Please contact them for more details!

52"x 52" in progress

as some of you know, we have moved to house in Hollywood and I am using our back room for a studio space. Things have been working out well and I am getting back into painting larger pieces.
The 'group cityscape' show is up until the end of the month at SGFA and I have other shows planned for the Fall as well as the Art Fairs in the Winter. So, lots to look forward to. I am also teaching all Summer at various places both privately and publicly. Please contact me directly if you have any interest regarding classes.

Ok, another video and then I will stop wasting everyone's time and get back to painting. I love the Trader Joes.

My buddies The Pressfire ( T.P.F ) have released their long awaited E.P. Es Slash Tee. its out of this world.

The Group Cityscape show is up at SGFA and it looks good! I am in the South Gallery with Kim Cogan which is pretty sweet.
There is a review that is out in Artscene that can be viewed in its entirety at
http://artscenecal.com/Articles.html. an excerpt:


Scott Yeskel seems to incorporate elements of all the above artists--that is to say that he is stylistically all over the map. For example, “Her Old Mercedes Benz” is a monochromatic, somewhat ghostly, greenish-ochre composition that can be seen as a portrait of a shiny status symbol that has been consigned to oblivion, like a fading starlet. Then again, he creates a visual wild ride in “Inner Coastal,” an abstract impressionist painting dominated by brilliant oranges and red, with touches of blue and black that convey an ambiguous melding of water and sky, with perhaps a road in between. What matters is that this painting, along with “Bends,” “Transit Map” and “Last Bridges,” among others, departs from the lugubrious ghostliness that permeates paintings like “Taco Truck,” an over-mined and exhausted effect. While conventional wisdom holds that painters should focus on a signature style or subject matter, Yeskel thumbs his nose at consistency, and therein rests the appeal of his body of work.
