About Me

Curently he paints live allmost every thursday @ THE HOP MONK in Sebastopol & allmost every fri @ THE LAGUNITAS TAP ROOM AND BEER SANCTUARY IN Petaluma.





“In 2010, Mouse made another discovery. One evening he went to a concert where Neal Barbosa was painting live on stage as the bands played and hundreds of people danced. He invited Mouse to dip in and paint, and a great new context for painting was born into Mouse’s life: live painting. Unlike many live painters, Mouse plans his work in advance. But once he is painting with the music and the energy from the crowd, he goes into a bubble, alone with his muse, oblivious to all but the magic. Mouse paints fast, like at the hotrod shows at the beginning of his career. His brush is dancing, remembering designs he has created for automobiles, motorcycles, shirts, posters, album covers, riffing on them, allowing his subconscious, seasoned by many years of the best art, psychedelics, music, death, and new life to commandeer the brush, to do what it wants while Stanley watches in wonder with the rest of us.”

Neal realy loves what DC Darling wrote and is very exited to be included and overjoyed to inspire other artists to work up the boldnes

and get out of the studio to paint and get inspired by the music of musicians and create on the spot in the moment for all to enjoy.

Especialy since at the age of 9 Neal got his first stanley mouse t-shirt given to him by his uncle, then at 18 ,9 years years later was inspired by stanley's work and started airbrushing, there was no other artist Neal ever knew of untill he was 21,now allmost 30 years later,Neal inspired Stanley!!

Forrest Day packs Live with energy every time.

Painter Neal Barbosa leaps around between sloshing blue and red paint on a canvas. While nimbly rapping lyrics, frontman Forrest Day moves back and forth like he's on invisible roller skates. Tenor saxophonist Dave Bullers and baritone saxman Dave Eaton dance in unison like the horn section in an old Motown group between blasts that complete the band's full sound.

When Forrest Day takes the stage, the group is as active as their lively fans. At the recent BaRock the Peninsula! concert at the Monterey Fairgrounds, it took the eight-piece Bay Area outfit to finally get a sluggish crowd-which hadn't stirred much through the first …
