Out here on 1st & Bailey during the Boyle Heights 5K & Health Fair, putting some time in on this 8'x16' mural that I started last week during CicLAvia. (at Mariachi Plaza)

Painted this mural over the better part of a year with @kfishla & @dela_art at Guisados' Echo Park location. Good friends, good times. (at Guisados)

#EvanSenn wrote a feature on me for #RogueArts! Check it out here: http://rogue-arts.org/rogue-featured-artist-ray-vargas/

I'm here now, and you should be too. @senntastic and @fplusgallery have put together a fucking amazing show. (at F+ Gallery)

Detail of one of my new works hanging at the new Guisados location in downtown. Acrylic, pastel, and oil on cradled panel, 17"x31".

The new Guisados location is open downtown and once again I have the honor of being the first featured artist. Go stare at my brand new series of paintings while eating tacos. Do it.

Donations of coffee and donuts are much appreciated. #working #painting #marathon #Saturday #Netflix #BoyleHeights #RayVargas #ART (at Twin Sun Studios, Boyle Heights)

Soooo many projects I should be working on instead, but sometimes I have to remind myself to draw just for the fun of it. (at Los Angeles Job Corps)
