FLASH BACK

I got my start as a graphic designer working in the skate industry. Some of the best days was when I worked for World Industries. Digging around in the storage at my Mom's crib, I found a box of skate decks I designed back in those days, circa 99-00. Not only did i work for World, i also got down with City Stars and Blind.

UP JUMPS THA BOOGIE

Recently Ive been rolling with the Blakeslee camp, ive met one of the most creative groups to come around. Getting the official head nod from Ray Ray Saadiq, Tha Boogie is latest high energy on his Velma Records Lable.

I had the pleasure of banging out there identity package. This font treatment was built from basic shapes and curves in illustrator. The speaker head kid is just anther sweet find streamlined, but it all works so well.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ART

I had a small exhibit in a gallery in the LES. When the show ended, i go to collect my pieces or money. And the gallery tells me my pieces are missing. Im very flatered that cats is feeling the series, but damm dont take with out asking! Im on the hunt for these joints. If you've seen them or got them, give them back or the karma god is gone getcha! There here 20 total but i only had shots of these ones.

PHRASE OF THE DAY

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PT.2

Here is a complete pic of the 10 foot x 70 foot something wall installation. This giant collage is titled,"The Bi Product of Our Inspiration." Photo compiled by Ryan "The RAT" Anzures. The Blakeslee Recording Co. will never be the same again, after the SMBLC art collective wrecked the spot. We are currently planning a full gallery show and party at the Blakeslee in NOHO,CA. for mid summer.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PT.1

Well yo, for the past month Ive been doing an artist in residency at The Blakeslee Studio, in NOHO (North Hollywood, CA.)
This was prolly one of the dopest experiences to happen yet. I was able to develope a new series of paintings and get down on a collab piece with Ryan "The RAT" Anzures. Music, the beach, Cali girls and tress was the consistant vibe the whole trip.


Out on the West the vibe was crazy, alot of inspiration in LA. On our rout driving around we turned on a secluded street to find, The Bishop Don Magic Juan's classic gold and green Rolls Royce.




Players recognize players so i was able to get in and put something up in the back seat. Green is for the Money and gold is for the honeys. Anyways back to the art. These are shots of the ruff starts and finals to a new series I worked on in LA.

More and better pics to come. I want give a special thanks to the Blakeslee Recording Co. staff and Raphael Saadiq.
