Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been hard at the grind trying to finish up all the little things in my life...This video is exactly what the doctor ordered...I love turntabilism, I feel its really a pure form of adaptation and forward thinking...a turntable a day keeps the boredom at bay...
This is the first look at an upcoming collaborative toy between Original Fake and Undercover. The iconic Undercover teddy bear graphic becomes a vinyl figure and gets paired up with the Kaws Companion character, which is lying in the arms of the bear. The toy seems to be coming in two colorways and a September release is expected. Via Highsnobiety.com

I came across this gallery of photos on www.juxtapoz.com by Marc Da Cunha Lopes ("aisakie") depicting the factories where video games come from. The photo above is the place where all of the magic happens surrounding the game of Tetris.
This is so sick, the idea of showing a factory creating the enviornments that we have all found ourselves lost in interaction with. This is one of those ideas that, you wish you had thought of it first...Especially with how big gamin has become...Pure genius.
Lil Newport getting Busy... 230 slicing and dicing... Crowd shot... Papa Z baking out in the sun....
Went out to LA(Los Altos Skatepark) to peep ES's Big Game of Skate. Good Looking Beach Zone for helping to put this event on. Had a few REFRIED ROLLERS participating. My lil brother/team manager aka The Big HURT, not pictured sorry I was slipping on the pictures it was hella hot!!! JD aka "Lil Newport" aka "Mafioso." He's my first team rider, I'm super exicted to work with this kid, he has that go get it attitude. My main dodoo stain PAPA Z was out and repping REFRIED/ Team Dank.
Newport got out first round but he went up against 230...230's got mad skills...Big HURT went out 5th round and PAPA Z lasted till the 3rd...Good luck next time...
The name of this piece is "Lilly Pink." Shes the one panel that I have done that is pain full to look at...For me she carries alot of lost hope, a constant second chance for a situation with the same inevitable negative result...This was the first panel that I actually manipulated two photos together to get the pregnant girl, it really pushed my skills...In the end I was happy with how it took shape and evolved...
It was a piece that was not easy to part with, but the things you hold on to most in life should be the things easiest to let go of...Just be content that they were in the first place...Be happy with were your AT not were you've BEEN...
I have always been a fan of INSA, he mixes all my favorite things: Oiled up ladies, Kicks, and a whole lot of paint drips...That's a better mixture then sugar and spice and all things nice...
I always watch women's fashion just as close as I watch mens...Womens lines tend to have alot more little details because the lack of overall attire, hehe! None the less when I saw these gloves It triggered the THRILLER video...Were MJ is morphing into the werewolf, or maybe catwoman...Anywho these are sick I'm sure they look dope with gold accents...
When the "Street Art" boom started, there were maybe a handful of artists that were really doing stuff that was intriguing...Most people around my circle started to really gravitate towards Banksy's and Shepard Fairey's work. But all along there was D-Face, hands down one of the most influential street artists in my opinion. What's great about D-Face is that his medium is anything that he can get his hands on ie: Aerosol, Wheatpastes, etc....
I remember being lucky enough to snag a copy of "Overspray," the special charater issue. They had this interview with D-Face were he carved a huge can of paint with his signature wings out of ice!!! Shit was cold...That really said something about how an artists mind is adaptive to circumstance and medium...I was a huge fan from then on...
Founded in late 2005 with no intention to record an album, La Coka Nostra was more a loose collective of artists connected through Danny Boy than a group. Having taken time off from rap after the break-up of House of Pain, Danny Boy took to working in video production and fashion as well as mentoring other artists. He met Slain in Boston and, impressed with his writing, brought him to L.A. to record some tracks. Eventually it turned into more of a group effort including the former members of House of Pain and Ill Bill, as well as associates from Psycho Realm, Special Teamz and others. It was not until early 2006 that the current line up solidified, plans to release an album were first voiced later the same year.
In late 2008 the group signed to the punk/hardcore label Suburban Noize Records and released the long delayed debut album A Brand You Can Trust on July 14, 2009. The album took so long to complete due to Danny Boy's refusal to have the artist collaborate via e-mail; instead, he would gather everyone at the studio. This took time due to the recording of Ill Bill and Everlast's solo albums as well as various tours and other commitments. A Brand You Can Trust features 15 tracks and guest spots from Snoop Dogg, Bun B, Sick Jacken, B-Real, Sen Dog, Immortal Technique, Big Left and Q-Unique. Though similar stylistically to the group's prior online releases, it features songs grounded more in reality. Some subjects touched upon include politics, death, drug addiction, raising a child and terrorism.

My brother passed this article on to me that was in the new THRASHER...It was about ditch skating. Burque being the sweet city that it is, jus so happens to rein king when it comes to ditch setups...Well never far from the ditches creeps the PARASOL KILLER, a stencil campaign I did a few years ago, I'm happy that they have survived for so long...
This fat boy of a wheat paste still needs a home...It's probably the six or seventh version of the parasol killer...
This pretty much sums up my outlook on life:
When offered a choice between dueling interpretations, you should opt for elegant and generous stories over vulgar, boring and unimaginative tales. While the no-nonsense, just-the-facts approach may seem to explain everything just fine, I assure you that there will always be catalytic engimas lurking beneath the surface. This is one time when poet John Keats' rule will be in full effect: "If something is not beautiful, it is probably not true." Transccend the obvious, please! Rebel against the ravaging numbness of plain old everyday ugliness.
