GO! Festival on Gold St. was a smash this year...If you happen to miss the festivities, you SUCK! Just kidding but you did miss out! There was an exceptional pool of artists/people...Everyone was so welcoming to the new fish and it really felt like a community of creativity...The diversity of styles as well as personalities was really the highlight of the weekend...I met so many people that left a lasting impression with me...I've decided I will be dedicating a post each day to each individual artist that I met...I took my own pictures but I will also be posting links to their websites/future events...I'm going to try to get the first up tonight but I really want to get all the information I can to present to you guys so it might take me a day or so...Please keeping checking back over the next couple of weeks for artist updates.

Thanks to everyone that came out and supported!!!! I couldn't have kept such a positive attitude thru out the weekend without every ones love and support...

These ladies are part of my "Smoking Kills" series. It's a limited 10 panel run encompassing this concept/theme. Each lady is a manifestation of a different strain of Cannabis. Having had a extensive interest in the attitude towards Cannabis and the culture surrounding it. I decided to take my time researching the individual strains. Studying the qualities of each IE: Visual attributes, Region, Smoking characteristics, etc.... I feel that each painting is the ideal beauty...

I DO NOT CONDONE THE USE OF ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES...!

This is merely MY feelings towards Cannabis Culture...

The Big Hurt

This is my favortie shirt, my lil brother aka the BIG HURT is a huge biggie fan...I think he actually copped this out in Alabama on a skating trip...



He also forwarded me this montage of some Burque heads throwing down at LA (Los Altos) and Calvary. Big Hurt dropping kickflip backside 50-50 and kickflip backside 5-0 on the square side of Hubba ledge. I love this kid if you ever see him around Burque give a holla, he'll holla back!!!
