What's going on in my world...

Blast from the past.

Looking through some old stuff.

Wooster Collective... No. Rooster Collective

Posted: June 11, 2008

My life and my art changed the day I found the Wooster Collective website. Every success my art has had since then I attribute to Marc and Sara Schiller. They were the first people to give me an international showcase through their website and the Wooster on Spring St. event. And for the life of me I have never stopped thinking of hip hop roosters, go figure. So here's my boyz just chillin' in a print. I did these as stencils in the street but with my life spirilling out of control keeping up with client requests photographing them has been difficult. Whenever I do something at night it's such a hassle to try to go back to the location to shoot pics especially out of town. Edition of 40 - $100 each in the print store.

Back in the day when I was young...

Posted: June 4, 2008

Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated with popcorn. To this day I get caught up investigating the popped kernals, the in's and out's, tonal ranges etc... So today I'm letting one of my secrets out of the perverbial bag. I noticed when I was in my teens that popped corn had a lot of the qualities of graffiti letters. I would sit and look at each kernal and test myself to extract a letter from it. Some kernals give you round, throw-up style letters, while others have hard edges jarting this way and that. It also gave you 3 dimensional looks at letters in some cases. I would also glue many kernals together to form other letters. So for all you young bucks looking to lock in your own style, popcorn gives you an infinite amount of possibilities, with a little imagination of course. From experience nothing beats popping your own, the kernals haven't been mashed in a bag. ; )
