ANOTHER GREAT NIGHT WITH MY CA CREW! ONELOVE!

23 10 2010

My name is Agapito Doronio, I was born in Los Angeles, California on Nov 7th, grew up in the San Fernando valley & currently reside in Korea Town. Since I was a kid I’ve always been scribbling in books, drawing on walls, whatever I can get my hands on.  It just felt natural. Crayola crayons to aerosol cans to paint brushes & vectored graphics.

painting on cahuenga blvd.

I love California. Right in the middle of everything. The city, the mountains , the desert, the ocean & the forest. The LA music & graffiti scene played a huge part on my attitude & process. Just being comfortable out in the open & letting it all out. Not minding what anyone else says jus do you!

Attended Cal State University of Northridge for Biology and Art and then to Art Institute for Graphic Design. Combining my street art upbringing and my typographic philosophies, I have realized this is where I want to be. “Doing what I love. Loving what I do.”

My art are reflections of my EVERYDAY life, focusing on the simple pleasures in a complex world. A painful truth, a perverted joke, a random night, a thoughtful gesture. Simple but with a meaning. That’s how I feel and that’s what you see.

GREED

2 09 2010

Is your creativity led by what you’ll gain by making a particular painting, rather than anything else? Are you painting foremost for financial gain? Are you focused on gaining a place in the annals of art rather than the pleasure of what you’re doing now? Not sharing thoughts & ideas with other artists. The sin of greed is about gain, not consumption. Our vice, our sin, our GREED.
