Went down to Mexico with my friend JamesHaunt.com to paint a HUGE wall in Tijuana. Check out the video and his new website which was designed by thebadcharacter. Special thanks to Justin for holding everything down when we were out there, you are a real G!
Got a chance to work with Primitive via our good friend Berto recently. They used a TBC panorama photo of the DTLA skyline for their site and also on a recent tee shirt design.
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.
I got a chance to hook up a flyer for our good friend over at ELEXARE in Long Beach. I also did the product photography for the flyer and website. He just opened up and is fully stocked with paint and other art supplies so if you are in the area check him out. click on the flyer to link to his temporary site (full site in the works).
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.
While watching ‘Ocean’s 13′ last week, we noticed Bernie Mack (RIP) had a special customized set of dominoes for his ‘Nuff Said casino game. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch the movie again.) We were inspired to do our own set of customized dominoes. One week later, this is the outcome of that inspiration. Looking forward to breaking these out at the next BBQ.
I made this little wallpaper of a photo I took just north of downtown on the 110fwy. Jimmy and I were promptly met by 4 Los Angeles sheriffs who schooled us on the safety issues of shooting inside the tunnel. Click on the photo for the fullsize 1920×1280 version.
We have been spending a lot of time at the print house lately. Working, drinking, skating, playing basketball…etc. I uploaded a few photos of our activities to our Flickr. Big thanks to Rudy, Andy Rios, and all the homies at the shop that are making sure our tees are coming out proper.
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.
