The EYES Have it - The World of<br />
Ron Cameron<br />
What happens when an artist has so much energy that one medium<br />
is just not enough? For Ron Cameron that energy explodes into<br />
music, clothing, skateboards, murals and so much more.<br />
Coming from Sacramento Ron was the consummate California kid. A child of<br />
the suburbs, Ron lived with his mother, sister and dog. He discovered music and<br />
skateboards. He began designing all things skateboard while still in his teens.<br />
He was one of the founding members of RVCA Clothing. “As a kid it was punk,<br />
thrift and 60’s psychedelic – those were my influences,” said Ron.<br />
Becoming a professional skateboarder carried Ron to Southern California<br />
and points around the world. After moving to Southern California, Ron began<br />
painting murals. His distinctive “EYES” Pattern began to merge in the 1990s.<br />
This pattern shows the 60’s psychedelic influence. The pattern evokes the wavy,<br />
pop colors of the Laugh-In era. The “EYES” can be seen in Ron’s recent mural<br />
work at BAR in Palm Springs as well as his paintings.<br />

DJ Ron has been making his mark in the Coachella Valley music since 1998.<br />
He honed his craft watching and listening to comedians and radio djs. Ron’s<br />
easy manner and pulse on the local scene makes him a much sought after Dj.<br />
The Way Out is a part of his dj gig. As Ron states “The Way Out was specifically<br />
created for my solo art show at EPIDEMIC Gallery in December 2011, not<br />
so coincidentally called The Way Out. I began incorporating the music of my<br />
skateboard years. This evolved into the backbone of a developing radio show. I<br />
expect to launch The Way Out on local LA radio in the near future.”<br />
Not enough? Ron was a consultant in the design of the Palm Springs<br />
Skateboard Park. His latest clothing line, Nothing is Cool, is ready to launch.<br />
And his acting career has Ron thinking of moving to LA. “I’ve loved acting since<br />
I was a kid, but I just started studying over the past 8 years, primarily with Actors<br />
Studio member Wendy Girard.” said Ron. “I enjoy acting. I want to take this part<br />
of my life to the next level. LA is calling out to me.”<br />
Whether Ron heads to LA or remains in the Coachella Valley will have little<br />
impact on Ron’s prolific artistic career. “I was born to create. Here. There. It does<br />
not matter. I am an artist and my artistic endeavors have no boundaries.”<br />
