Lab de Loops Final Version
Finished the flyer. It’s basically 1000% different than the first version but I like it. And more importantly the person who commissioned it likes it.
Also the event I’m pretty sure is going to be awesome. So if you’re in the Brooklyn/NYC area and this looks interesting to you, come check it out. Click on the flyer and it will take you to the official website for more details.

this is my submission to the brooklyn art project/brooklyn academy of music exhibition. the theme is “connected unconscious”. i hope they like it.
The Man behind the Graff
People all over NYC know RESKEW, the graffiti writer. Famous, infamous, whatever. He’s definitely known and his tags and pieces can be seen all over the city, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx. This piece below was done by Ski (top left), RESKEW (top right) and 2esae (bottom). You can check out more of Ski and 2esae’s art work from my art links. Sweet truck, huh?
Anyway, possibly less people know RESKEW as Miles Wickham, artist. He’s good people, a real talented artist and my friend. AND I’m co-curating his first solo show this Thursday in the East Village. So I thought I’d just give him mad props on my blog and let you all in on it.
Here’s the link to the event. Check it out, and of course, if you’re in the NYC area this Thursday stop by Sapphire Lounge! Meet the man, the myth, the legend…

Reasons to like NYC
I started a series. Don’t know how far I’ll go with it, but I can come up with hundreds of reasons to like New York, so I could theoretically take it pretty far.
For now here are two…
Reason number 1
Reason number 2 aka “Masked Self Portrait”

Long Overdue Props
I know I usually post about something having to do with me. My art, my shows, whatever. I mean, it is MY blog after all. But today I feel like talking about other people. Of course it will still be MY opinions about other people. 😉
Anyway…I have some artist friends I’ve made pretty recently, and I’m real proud to know them. So it’s time to tell the world. They have just mad, endless talent. And I have been fortunate enough to hang out with them, paint with them, learn things, watch them work, AND I have some of their pieces on my walls. So yeah, I’m pretty much lucky all around. They’re really well known already, but just in case you aren’t one of the enlightened many who know about them, let me introduce you to AVONE, NOBODY, 2ESAE and SKI.
This piece is by avone. And I OWN it. You should be very jealous.
This one is a nobody(tmnk)/avone collaboration. i *heart* that rust for reals.
Here’s a collabo piece by ski mst, avone, tmnk and 2esae. And one that I dig. like a LOT.
Here’s me holding up a piece that i own, in the spot in Soho where they sell their work. 2esae, avone and ski mst collabo:
Their spot in Soho is corner of Prince and Greene…you know…so you can go out there and buy up all their paintings. Do it. You know you want to.
Thanks to avone for the photos for this post. I yanked em off his flickr page cuz I’m way too lazy to take all those photos myself. And thanks to all four of you for your inspiration, your friendship and for just making the world a more beautiful place. <3
