Humans are obsessed with flight. Ask 10 people what super power they would like to have and half of them will say “flight”. This never made any damn sense to me. After two weeks this “super-power” will turn from exhilarating to just another way to get to work in the morning. Only worse because every other schmuck will be pointing their fingers, gawking at you all day and the other half will be trying to shoot your dumb-ass out of the air. Suddenly you’ll find yourself caged up in some …

There has been a creative boom recently with artists repurposing discarded skateboard decks. Brazilian Beto Janz created a viral skull campaign from chopped decks. MapleXO has created a line of custom accessories and a company called Deckstool makes stools out of…..yep you guessed it, decks. When a trendy niche starts to over-saturate the cool factor can fall off faster than Karl Wallenda vacationing in San Juan. Well, Tokyo artist Haroshi manages to stay above the fray with his incredible sculptures created from discarded skateboard decks. By not relying on the …

There is a lot of paint being splattered on a lot of walls in a whole lot of places. We will be hooking up a weekly wrap-up of our favorite walls, trains, tunnels & beer funnels, old and new. Seat belts fastened?

My favorite.

Matt Scofield, Victor Knight, Greg Davis and myself hooked up a show at the LabourLove gallery last year where we painted a set of panels in the gallery and pulled off a very cool show. We were approached by Kelly and John of LabourLove about showing the panels for a showing at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). I love that building, inside and out. I was thrilled. So thrilled that I felt compelled to redo that panels completely. I was never really very happy with how my panels came …

From time to time I will post a mp3 mixtape for download. Check it out….

I just finished up the rendering of this ticket runner dude. Its a pretty funny image so I threw it up here.

Here is an illustration that I teamed up with Kev Devine from Cake Design. Mighty Mi commisioned it for a mixtape that was coming out.  It was never used but it is still pretty cool. I still feel like they should make some wrapping paper out of this jawny.

So it ends up that my run on my favorite illustration gig is not over. Back in full effect.

After almost two years of development, I am more than happy to say that the first samples for production have arrived and look great. I have a really good feeling about these guys and with the right kind of marketing could be very popular. Spread the word people.

I have been comissioned to do a series of decks for a new skateboard company called New Skate City. I have big plans for these decks and will be updating you with the progress as I go. Here is a very rough cut of the first deck.

I was commissioned to do an illustration of Buffalo Bills LB Angelo Crowell. hut hut hike.

The last issue that I will be doing illustrations for has hit the stands. Wah.
White dude with a knee injury and a “Made in Motown” tattoo. Strange.

Here it is. Check below if you want to see the “how this shit was made” progress post. See you all at FM Goods on Friday.

Over the past year I have been working intensely with a company putting out a new educational toy that focusses on buckles. Anyone with little kids runnign around knows how obsessed kids will get with any kind of buckle so this toy line aims to address this core attraction that kids have. I have sketched and designed the animals throughout the process and am thrilled to see the final product becoming a reality. I will be making regular updates throughout the launch.

A while back I heard that my old high school was running a silent auction to generate some money for some scholarships. I decided to put some pencil to paper and hook up something to donate. Apparently the person who was sopposed to take pictures at the event didn;t show so I dont have any idea as to how it went down. I heard that it did well at the auction so all good. Go Challengers.

My Kanye West piece made one of the flyers for the Art Beats & Lyrics show. You go girl.

Wow. I just found this on Planet6.com. This one is going on the A-list shelf. For those that don;t know Vaughn Bode’s work, go check out
He was incredibly influential in the graffiti scene from the early 70′s through present day. You can probably see his influence on my work and you can definately see how the work still resonates today. His son Mark is an active illustrator and still hooks it up.

This was for the new Brooklyn Sene album produced by Blu. One thing lead to another and it didn’t work out. I am still partial to it though.

Detail:

I put this together in anticipation of the 07-08 season. This has got to be the starngest Sixers roster since the Witherspoon era.
