InLiquid 10x10


I was very honored to be invited by Mr. Brian Campbell, the Exhibitions and Reception Manager City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, to be part of the InLiquid 10x10 event happening this October. The 10th anniversary reception is going to be huge! Over 200 artists have been invited to be part of this major event.


From the site:

"The 10th Anniversary Benefit celebrates and supports InLiquid’s year-round programming, while raising the visibility of a diverse range of contemporary art and artists in the Philadelphia area."


It's so awesome for companies and establishments to include/recognize for an event like this. Say what you will with the mural arts program, but you can not front that the city we call home holds it down for the most murals in 1 city. BOOYAH! Eat it LA! Suck it NYC!


Here's my submission for the event called "La Bella Vida". Their will be an auction taking place before the reception and this will be up for sale if any one is interested in purchasing it.

Josh? colabs





Got some Josh? colabs done from his pack (earlier post scroll down). The first one is an X-Men colab. Josh? asked me first who I would choose for a colab like this and I immediately said Beast of course cuz he's a big fuzz ball. Josh? ended up doing the beast though cuz he started it, great minds think alike. haha The other 1 is a Josh? burping an EL TORO with UWP and Ticky holding the bottom of the colab down. Lastly the colab was suppose to be Mario Kart themed, but ended up just being regular fun GoKarts. Still pretty exciting though :) Got inspired by the new Flying Fortress toy "Le Mans" edition that just came out. Check it out here! If you want to donate one please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you want to do a sticker colab, send me an email and lets get things started! "Le Mans" toy is not necessary, but will make things alot more awesome.

The Autumn Society



Last first friday i went and checked out the 8-bit and Beyond show at Brave New Worlds and was amazed at all the throwback/video game inspired art works displayed. Tons of people came out and even a dj spinning some classic 8-bit video game soundtrack was blasting through out the night. I got to meet one of my favorite artists in the group, Chogrin. He has an amazing style and was great to see his work in person. I gave him a sticker and he knew my stuff and I was stoked on that. He even invited me to be part of the Autumn Society. So i'll be posting a few stuff their too! I'm so glad to be associated with such great artists that put out a fuckin amazing caliber of work between all of them. Check out the Autumn Society blog now!

MCJAWN BLOCK PARTY

Rocked out to MCJAWN.COM block party this past Sunday. Met up with some friends and found some old ones that were very unexpected, but very awesome to see them again. Ended up meeting some fans and really got me pumped on painting some new stuff. Thanks again for all the encouragement and support! Here's the festivities.

GI JOE MOVIE

I wonder if the new movie will have a bad ass song like this in the beginning. I mean how more American can u get?! Beating up terrorists in front of the Statue of Liberty and not even make a scratch on it. Wicked Awesome.



VS

the NEW G.I.Joe Trailer. I cant hate though, i dont think it'll be nearly as awesome as the animated, but theirs ninja fighting on this one. Soo yeh that makes the movie for me. They haven't revealed if Cobra Commander will be in the new one, i hope so. Destro is all about pussy, he's after the Baroness and not global domination.

DEATH OF AUTO TUNE

Ok so slacking on the updates lately. Here's a lil video post bout auto-tune and the true hip hop players respond to it. Although i find it funny that Kanye West is signed to Roc-a-fella records and he's totally dissin' Lil Wayne on it. What bout Kanye? His whole last album was auto-tune addiction.

Jay-Z "Death of Auto-Tune"



To keep it even more real. Here's a way better version on hip-hops commentary on the auto-tune.

EL TORO X METHODS NYC

Thanks to all the people that showed up in Brooklyn. Shout outs to the Robots Will Kill crew that came out and supported. Been tight with the RWK crew since 04 and still holding it strong in this game. Longevity is the key. Always innovating and never duplicating.

All the people I met, you guys totally rocked. Thanks for coming up to me and saying what's up. NYC is full of love for an out of towner. Gotta love that.

Brooklyn, you guys know how to party. Everytime I go to a Methods NYC show i feel like im such an old fart. I'm like Cinderella; pass midnight and Im hustlin and bustlin' barely standing and looking for the train home before something bad happens. You guys know how to throw it down. New summer shirts were printed just for the event, but stay tuned cuz thats dropping really soon. For the mean time check out the "PRESSURE" line on sale now. Visit them at their store in Brooklyn and online.

Thanks Dave and the Methods crew for making it happen. 4 years strong with you guys.
