He just had his first solo exhibition in a gallery, at Harrington Fine Arts in San Francisco, which included paintings and assorted other works.

By Christine Clark for This Week@UCSD | April 28, 2008
UC San Diego students showcased their commitment to the environment and talent for visual arts during the second Earth Week “VidFest” film festival on Wednesday night at the Price Center Theatre. The competition featured 11 original videos by undergraduate students. The short pieces differed in style, but all were created specifically for the competition to increase awareness about the environment.
The filmmakers competed for over $3,000 in cash prizes and winners also received a copy of Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax” autographed by Audrey Geisel. In addition, Leonardo DiCaprio donated copies of the documentary “11th Hour” to the winners and sent a statement commending the student filmmakers for their dedication to the arts and the environment.
Jason Campa and Joshua Krohn shared top honors at the film festival and won $1,000 each for their efforts. Krohn’s “Footprint” was built as a narrative in reverse that showed how the ‘footprint’ of littering causes damage to the environment. Krohn also won the Muir College “Choose to Change” award; his film was screened at the Honorary Muir Luncheon on Thursday.

The Senior Art Show 2008 - 'Transparency'
Submitted by yolietorres on Fri, 04/11/2008 - 7:53am. Undergraduate Events
The Visual Arts Department Graduating Class Announces the Annual Senior Art Show 2008:
Transparency
May 30 - 31, 2008 | 12-6pm
Opening Reception on Friday, May 30 | 2-5pm
Closing Reception on Saturday, May 31 | 6:00pm
UC San Diego Mandeville Center, 2nd Floor, The Visual Arts Department, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA 92093
In a department overshadowed by traditional academics, the arts are unseen and transparent. On a broader range, we as people are no more of an individual as our names claims to be. We are in essence just among the masses of identities. Therefore we become transparent in the normalcy of daily routine, transparent in our calculated gestures and interactions. 'Transparency' is a show about recreating individuality through an exploration of self interconnected and plugged into the system as a whole.
For the past two years, the graduating class of the Visual Arts Department has provided a unique opportunity for young artists to exhibit their work in a celebration that invites the UCSD community, local gallery and museum curators, and the general public.
