SNEAKER CON L.A. RECAP

SNEAKER CON made it's way to Los Angeles this past Saturday. I attended it back in March in New York just to get a sense of how the east coast sneakerheads get down. Being that it was in my hometown, I made sure I got a proper display to exhibit my work as well as do a few on the spot commissions and sell a few prints.
Photos Courtesy: Jacque Slade
Happy customer with my best selling print thus far. Sold quite a few of those that day. Hmmmm...I wonder why it keeps selling?

Getting down on a piece. Lines first.

Colors second

Laughing it up with somebody about some nonsense. lol.
Here's a couple of live commission pix. These were done on 11 x 14 bristol board paper with Tria Markers, Pit Brush pens, and pigment liners and acrylic paint. Excuse the photos...had to keep it moving.

I'm going to try something a lil different at the next sneaker event. But for now, this was fun.

ALL SN'EADS UNITE EVENT RECAP

Here's a recap video for sneaker event I did last month with some of my friends, Franalations, Afrokix and of course, King Poetic.

I'm the last person interviewed, but I brought my Cintiq and my Mac and got busy live on the spot on some sneaker art for the sn'eads in attendance. Good times.

Shoutout to Mind Candy TV, Homeplate Entertainment, and Copernicus Studios for holding me down.

Allen Gregory "Gay School Dance" on FOX

It's a big week for me.
MTV moved one of my episodes of Good Vibes up in the rotation and it made it's premiere on Thursday 11/10
And as luck would have it..
FOX scheduled one of my episodes of Allen Gregory to air this Sunday, 11/13.
So, that means I had 2 episodes on 2 different series on 2 different networks air the same week!

Without further adieu...
here's a preview for "Gay School Dance" airing at 8:30 tonight after The Simpsons on FOX.
I storyboarded this sequence personally.

Stay Tuned for air dates on my next episode, "Van Moon Rising" with guest star Jeff Goldblum.

IGGY AZALEA - IGNORANT ART

Recently, I was blessed with the opportunity to do the cover art for hip hop's latest underground sensation, IGGY AZALEA. Just last week, her debut mixtape, "IGNORANT ART" dropped and has set the underground on FIRE. Her controversial video/song, PU$$Y, has been featured on Perez Hilton's blog and record labels are literally foaming at the mouth for a piece of that...no pun intended.
The most astonishing thing about this young woman is she's Australian born and raps like a Dirty South black girl. Can you say "CONTRAST"? Check out one of her earlier "home-made videos" below to get a glimpse of the rising star.
I have more news regarding the IGNORANT ART project to drop soon. Stay Tuned.
If you want to know a little more about IGGY, head on over to COMPLEX MAGAZINE for an in-depth interview with her here.

DENNY DENT PERFORMANCE PAINTING

I was on twitter asking people about what kind of art they had on their walls at home. @JustJaes replied that he had a painting of Jimi Hendrix that he paid alot of money for by an artist named DENNY DENT.
The name intrigued me because I'd never heard of him before. So, I investigated and this is what I found.


Needless to say, I was inspired by his art, but his words struck an even stronger chord with me:
"BE WHO YOU ARE"

MOVIETICKETS.COM commercial


...my big screen directorial debut.
It played on big screens nationwide last summer.
If you were early enough to catch some previews before your movie, you "might" have seen it.
I actually caught it one time myself lol.

What you won't notice about this piece on the internet is it's actually "3D"
looked cool in the theatre though :)

Special thanks to Rob Dyrdek, Bill Schultz, Tracy Tubera, and Copernicus Studios.

THANK YOU, DJ CLARK KENT

My big homie, the O.G., DJ CLARK KENT blessed me with a pair of the friends and family release of the LEBRON 8 "112"
No bullshit, I'm not saying this cuz Clark is my dude or that he hooked me up with these, but these are THE MOST FIRE RELEASE/NON-RELEASE OF 2011 THUS FAR. So with that said, it definitely KILLS all the entire Lebron 8 line.
So, anyway, for those not knowing, the reason the shoe is BLINGING YOUR EYEBALLS OUT is it has 3M Reflective material on it. So, when the flash is on, the STUNT is on! HAHA!

Once again, I can't thank DJ CLARK KENT enough for getting me these kicks.
I will cherish these muggs forever...forever ever ever...forever EVER.
