National City, located just a few short minutes from downtown San Diego, acts as a major backdrop and source of inspiration for these 3 artists who call National City home.
This 3 person exhibition combine's street art, graffiti, stencil art, sticker art, and graphic design. For part 2 of Nasty City, the artists have also collaborated on art works, conjoining and overlapping their individual styles, creating layers of images and ideas reflective of the Nasty City experience.

Don't Trip is a prolific artist and party machine. His first solo exhibition will be held August 23rd, 2014 at VISUAL in San Diego, California.
Although the artist paints his iconic characters in various illegal "spots", this collection of work will focus mainly on canvas and mixed media works. The exhibition will consist of his classic bright orange characters and floating heads, sporting stoner smiles and peace signs. The title "No Worries" suggests the artists extreme positive mental attitude that he promotes and lives by on a daily basis. No worries is a mantra that symbolizes pure positivity, enthusiasm for life and celebrates the art of Don' Trip. New paintings by San Diego artist Eric Wixon.
Eric's new work celebrates the pursuit of happiness. Using loose continual line drawings filled in with his classic pastel color palette, Eric creates whimsical, light-hearted characters sporting goofy facial expressions.
