Brian Clinebell is a local San Diego artist originally from the small town of Abingdon, Virginia. If you’ve ever seen Brian around the neighborhood, you’ve probably noticed his contagious smile.

Brian is a super talented artist that dabbles in a little bit of everything. You may recognize some of his mixed media pieces from art shows around town (Commune June ’08), seen his art on a t-shirt or maybe even more recently seen him as the front man for the Kabbs (www.myspace.com/thekabbs).

Like Commune, Brian joins in the fight against Big Tobacco and took part in Commune’s quit group to face his personal addiction with smoking head on.  For seven weeks Brian participated in the weekly group that helped him reduce his smoking dramatically.

If you haven’t had a chance to see Brian’s art in person head to the Soda Bar where he will be showing art for the month of July. You can also catch the Kabbs at the Ken club July 16^th for JJ Rad Fest.
