BMW Kinetic Car Sculpture



What else is there to say about this. Passed onto me at work, so I'm passing it on to you. This sculpture is made up of 714 metallic globes. In order to see this sculpture you'd have to pay a visit to the BMW museum in Munich.

Street Wars, Assassins Creed








StreetWars is a 3 week long, 24/7, water gun assassination tournament that has already taken place in New York City, Vancouver, Vienna, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Chicago, Paris and is now coming back to New York City.

This was passed onto me and I was like, this is truly for those who are kids at heart!! It looks like a lot of fun but curious to have seen footage of it in the big apple. I'm sure it changes your outlook on things once you get into the game. Plus you can look at it as what better excuse to run around NY acting crazy, let's just hope Po Po doesn't get carried away!!

Doodle Master



Tay's Home Grown Joints here
Flexing different techniques

I have been drawing my whole life as far as my family tells me. It's a great thing when you get to come across heads that share the same labor of love for their craft as well. He is a person that holds a rep when it comes to the Graff game and even crosses over into our industry. Dontay is one of my peers who has inspired me to experiment even more with my sketching. This takes me back to the A&D days. I recall during the mid 90's when I first started traveling to LA and doing graphic illustrations for
RAPPAGES, Dontay was doing graphic illustrations for VIBE. We won't post those just yet but once Dontay posts his VIBE catalog I'll post mine from RAPPAGES. He just showed me his new blog spot where he will start showcasing more of his "doodles". I did ask him if he was sure he wanted to do so and he says "Those ain't even Mugs, they're just doodles". Keep looking to see more posts from Dontay TC5

Looking after another a young gun...I wonder where his father is???
Nice time to take a nap after a few beers and a couple of intense games of volley ball
One of the young prince's of the party

The Hyena looking on with that thousand yard stare!!
British people are so strange, it's hard to even understand them at times
All the hard work that Angel has put into the yard along with the hard work my sister's contributed to the party I thank you, we all thank you!!!
You can hold on for dear life but you're going in. After all this is a pool party isn't it??!!!
Oh wow, she has the "No te atrevas" (don't even try it) face while holding onto a camera, cell phone and any other kind of electronic devices so she doesn't get thrown in
It didn't work as you can see she was over powered and thrown in.
The Young Guns chasing down the next victim
Here we have the action shot
The aftermath of getting caught, lucky for us we jumped in with you so you had someone to hold down so you can stay afloat
The Old Timer's looking at us act a fool
My brother letting you know that you're next!!!
My brother giving you the look of.."you thought you were safe didn't you!!!"

You know it...Salute Time!!
Moms giving the toast
self pic

Running a bit late with the post of these pics but here they are. I have to admit it was a beautiful day to have a BBQ/Pool Party/BDay celebration. The invitation went out to a lot of people but not too many showed up. I like to think of it as the ride out there is a long one but once you get there you will see that is was worth it!! We will see what happens the next time a bbq is called. Needless to say those that showed up had a great time and I had a great time having them over. Thank you again for taking the trip out to my family's house.

Pinstriping

Just the other day Bluster passed this onto me. We were doing some research for work and we happen to come across this. Now this is truly a craft because not everyone can do it. It takes a certain type of individual to do these types of work. Your mind works differently, not to mention the amount of patience you need to complete such a project. This is truly the labor of love. Respect due the people of this craft.

Walking with Dinosaurs













I'm a bit late with this post but I recently had the chance to go to see the "Walking with Dinosaurs" show that came to MSG. I got to take my big homey Christian and he really enjoyed the show. We both were amazed by the how they were able to make them come to life. Just the fact that they were to scale and you were always able to see this because the announcer was always on the floor. If the show comes to your town then by all means take the lil' homies to watch it. I took a few pics and a couple of short movies but of course they didn't come out that good but here they are.

WestOne FC Art Show





Recognized as one of the most prolific artists in the New York Graffiti scene throughout the 1980's and 90's. He began painting on the number 1 Broadway local subway line in 1984. Throughout the 1990's, West, along with his 'Fame City' crew has been recognized as a major influence in the NYC graffiti movement with large scale graffiti mural paintings. Since 2001 West has pushed into the realms of abstract expressionism and stripped the artform of all of it's traditional trappings of color, medium, and process. As a result a new unique language has emerged.

West has been an inspiration to me within the world of Graff and Fashion along side of the rest of the FC & Original PNB family. I can never give credit alone without mentioning Brue, Blust, Serge, Sung, Dash and Dontay in the same breath. I missed out on the opportunity to go to Paris to check the show but next time for sure. For more info go to the Galerie Magda Danyz.
