Hello there...

Been a bit side tracked...so in my absence here's a time lapse video of Kase.

SOFLES and VANS the OMEGA at Boardshop - Gold Coast, Australia.

Ah yes another video... You know how I feel bout the videos that offers great break down... and dope music. Via the Ironlak Blog: ironlak.com/blog/.  SOFLES and VANS the OMEGA. Skate Paint Jam 2011.

p.s "that sucks dude" to the kid with the thrashed face at 1:35

The BLACKBOOK

Where every writer gets their start...

The Blackbook. The Graffiti artist's sketchbook where you spend some time working out your next dope piece. Where you get other artist to represent on a few pages...the thing you hide from the cops because it can link you to that dope piece you put up in that sweet spot a few weeks back...The BlackBook.

Now to share some random blackbook pieces I found that I hope to see up one day.

As you can see by this point I'm pretty much a fan of Wildstyle. Just look at what I post up...more black books to come, maybe I'll even put up some of my own...

MrDheo

I like this artist's style... his characters are very graphic in nature with hard lines and soft tonal variations. He definitely uses his spray can like an artist would use a paint brush.

Great video...feeling the head mounted camera angles.

Shriimp... naked girls guaranteed

Arguably involving the best canvas on the planet. Shriimping is the act of painting a tag on a nude or semi-nude female. Now in the past I may have shriimped on the female or two but I never actually took any legitimate photos of if.

Through my random searching on the internets and the occasional thread in a forum, I've discovered Bombing Science dedicated Shriimping site, at www.shriiimp.com. Check it out to see some amazing Shriimping work.

In the meantime here are some of my favorite pieces from this summer's shriimping contest:

Bombing Science by SPEK

This by Spek placed 1st in the Bombing Science Shriiimp girls Contest.

Boro Wall

Video of Ether TFO painting a wall for the Boro clothing line releasing this November.



I came across this video via bombingscience, watched it and I really appreciate the way the time-lapse reveals the breakdown of Ether's work. For more info on the clothing check out the following Brand Boro.

And now to reveal some of my stuff...

I've been meaning to get around to this for some time now... Check out some of my old stuff. New work to come shortly.

Most of these are either on canvas or from my black book. There's a lot more than what I've posted here these are just my favorites out of what I can find... That last photo is an example of how horrible my tags are...eventually I get around to improving it.

Making your work Mobile

Driving around with a friend I spotted this:

And it got me thinking...Man putting  your shit up on the side of a vehicle has to be the best way to get your work seen by many. Grant it, I myself have never been in a position to bomb, tag or put a piece on a truck, but given the opportunity... I'm for it.

So with a few minutes to spare in my "busy" schedule I hunted down some amazing pics of graffiti on trucks.

Reyes

And lets not forget the truck in my banner, I see "Meen Sumo" driving all the time around my old neighborhood...so I took that shot. Anyways, I also stumbled across a vinyl toy site that makes 8" and smaller replicas of trucks that you can customize or buy pre-tagged by note-worthy graffiti heads.

The cost isn't so bad and the larger models have working cargo holds so you can use it to stash shit it.

Enjoy the pics, hit up the comments if you know the artist.

The sheer greatness of the handstyle

The whole concept of handstyles has always been a bit intimidating to me. I mean developing a handstyle on your own takes a lot of patience and practice. Attempting to make your style look sick and simply your own borders on redonkulous, and no matter how hard I tried I never was quite happy with what I came up with. So like many before me I just adapted the style of my predecessors in an attempt to keep their hand going.

So I give much credit to those who adapted an entire alphabet in their own style breaking away from just doing their tag.

Some of my favorite sources of inspiration. Some of these also are elaborate handstyles but still have the ability to be done as a tag.

Graffiti on Canvas

Bringing the world of graffiti to your walls in a less obtrusive way.

Personally I have no problems with pieces, bombs and tags done on physical walls. There's just something awesome by doing it in a way to cherish it for ever... Or more realistically make a little duckets selling it to the fans.

Here's some canvas work that's worth mentioning.

Had a little trouble accessing the name of some of the artist who did these works, so if you know who it is, hit me up in the comment section so I can give credit.

Wheat-paste with a helping of stencils

Thought it was time to start posting some photos. I found these amazing stencil and wheat-paste jobs that can be found around New York, and Montreal.

Seeing these makes me want to break out some of my old designs, sharpen my razor blades and exacto knives.  For real the spray can airplanes were on point, and the skateboarder is insanely fluid.

If anyone knows the names of the people who did the 'Unknowns', please hit me up in the comment section, and I'll go back and edit.
