Down Time

Monday, August 8th, 2011

You may be asking yourself “What happened to the blog?” or “What do I have to do to see some new content around here?”

The truth is we are in the process of launching thebadcharacter.com 3.0 and we are up to our necks in the Matrix. I promise good things are coming and the wait is almost over. The site has been completely redesigned and is in the process of being built. Please visit our FLICKR, TWITTER, and FACEBOOK to keep up to date with all our endeavors. We appreciate your patience and look forward to working with YOU in the future.

Grenade Games 7 x Bear Mountain 2011

Monday, April 4th, 2011

March 26th & 27th marked the 7th installation of Grenade Games held by Grenade Gloves.   Our buddy James ‘Haunt’ was set to paint live at this event, so we packed our extreme gear and headed up to Big Bear Lakes to join up with guys at Living the Dream. Spent Saturday night watching The Game perform.  Later that night we  got a pizza ordered to our hot tub time machine. #BOSSLIFE The weather on Sunday was perfect, not a cloud in the sky. We had the perfect viewing point for the games and spent the day in the snow. Thanks to everyone that showed us love and support. Great time.

Soccer Ballin’

COOK-CMK from Osaka, Japan

I painted an indoor soccer spot the other day with about 15 other people. It was a lot of fun and I was able to chill with people I haven’t seen in awhile. I was a little rusty but I think everything came out cool in the end. Special thanks to Elexare.com for pulling the wall. As usual the pictures are up on our flickr or you can click on the pic above.

While I don’t have any photos of the artwork, I encourage you to visit the Archrival store to see the original pieces. And if you just can’t make it, here is a link to see some of the artwork.

STATE OF THE ART – BTS

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Greg and I spent most of our free time last week downtown at Andy’s studio, watching the progression of a piece that both Andy and James were collaborating on. The piece was for a show titled “State of the Art” which opened and held at Ek5obition Gallery last weekend at Pomona’s Artwalk. It’s a one of kind experience watching these two ‘work’; Mini electric dirt bikes, night-time LED laden photo shoots, random visits from friends and even a lucha libre show next door all came together to make quite the creative environment. The piece itself is actually 15 different canvas’ that were placed together to create on large canvas.

Be sure to check out the Flickr to see more behind the scene photos and if you were not able to make it out to the show last Saturday, here is a link to Ek5obition’s Flickr that shows the finished product.

A splash of color

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I took this photo back in the good old days. My friend Domes had just picked up some new kicks and as usual we were bored at work. I always liked the colors of his shoes and we used to flip colorways for garments based on his new kicks.
