Stupid Fresh!

Amanda & EL TORO, originally uploaded by frost215.

This picture sums it all up. It was an awesome night and great people showed up. It turned out to be a successful night for Abakus and I that night. PBR was flowing like water and we even got a dude puking by the end of the night. Always a good sign that you threw a kick ass party. 12 fresh new canvases for the masses and so far 3 got sold that night. Get there before you miss out on the one you want! The show is up for a month, so definitely check it out if you missed the opening. There will be more in the future!

Thanks again to the whole Abakus Family, Matt from findingphilly.com & especially my girl Amanda who was there through the beginning of this whole show and was just there for me when I needed her. Thanks and enjoy the pictures. Uploading more from everyone once they come in.

PHILLY SKYLINE

My buddy Brad from Phillyskyline has posted something about the show today. Phillyskyline is an awesome blog on Philadelphia. I dont know how they get a ridiculous amount of great shots of buildings, especially when the Comcast building was in construction. He has that whole building documented from the ground up. Also, dig deep enough and you will see his photo essays on different blocks in Philadelphia. Awesome photogrpahy, great intelligent content, this blog surely can't be missed.

TOYS R EVIL

The guys at Toys R Evil, kindly posted something about the show on their blog today. This blog is great, it just doesnt cover the designer toy market, but also covers regular toys and movies. I always visit them atleast once a day to get the latest and greatest news from the toy world. They recently just posted great pictures of the My Little Pony project, so if you can't make it tonight (sept. 18) you can view the participants. Oddly enough some celebrity are going to be in the house and John Stamos is listed. Uncle freakin' Jessie. How cool is that? I want him to come to the Stupid Fresh show!

Pilipinas Street Plan

The guys over at Pilipinas Street Plan hooked me up with a lil post about the show and wanted to do the same with their blog. I am definitely excited to see that the Philippines are creating awesome street/graffiti art and they are growing style every day. Visit the blog here http://pilipinastreetplan.blogspot.com/

A beast roams at FDR

Beast of burden, originally uploaded by frost215.

Sightings of a slow movin beast thats rummaging around FDR park.

Had some leftover cans that needed to be emptied for the Abakus show. Got to FDR and met this gnarly dude Houdini.



Houdini pointed to a spot that was full of just scribbles and also a spot where the skaters wouldn't use. Real awesome dude, he rides a body board that's hollowed out with a skateboard underneath. Also, does the old school waves around FDR. Real retro and classic lookin. He even got it featured at one of the Tony Hawk games. While painting, he got all up in some young dude just taggin up the park. The young kid mistakenly went over his piece and got a real reality check. Respect the game kid or it will fight back.
Also, Houdini borrowed a can of black paint to cross out his ex's phone number he put up around the park. Supposedly if your lookin for a good time, you should call her. Apparently, she was getting phone calls at 4am and she's calling him right after to complain. First off, some one actually calls those phone numbers written on the walls? Secondly, are you actually thinking your going to have a good time. Finally, did this ever work back in the day? Some sort of hippie code for some sexy time back in the day?

All in all, good day and if you want to find out what meal to eat before painting, i suggest this one.

EL TORO X METHODS NYC FALL 08

EL TORO X METHODS NYC FALL 08, originally uploaded by frost215.

Another one bites the dust...

Reaper TORO coming in full effect and killing the whackness in the streets. The new Fall 08 Dreams & Nightmares line from Methods NYC will be featuring these 3 dynamic shirts. Each flavor caters to the individuals on the streets. Even though the shirts aren't loud in color the graphic will surely slice through people retinas and demand their attention short after.

Dropping in October, cop em at ur local bodega street wear shop (u gotta support the locals) and if ur in a town with out one, just head on over to Methods NYC and order from there.

Stay tune cuz their will be more shirts coming!

Just submitted this for printing to start. Hopefully see the result this weekend. Jumpstart press over at North East is handling the job. It's going to be 3 dozen only! so very limited edition, probably selling out that night. 2 dozen men and 1 dozen for women ranging in different sizes. Guys are going to be in heavyweight tees and the girls on American Apparel. Get to the show early before they sell out.

Still toying around with a name, but here's a preview of what the label's main graphic will be. This will be for the Abakus show on Sept. 27th. It's going to be a doozy. Im pulling all the strings i could for this one, cashing in my chips as they say. It's going to be exciting to see everyone at the show. sorry for the slow updates. will be getting back to the blogging world more after this show is over.

enjoy!
