I've seen this before and just came across it again. This is definitely not an easy style of writing to do. Any hand style takes time to master so I gotta give it up for sure!! Watch the video to see how graff has many different hand styles.

Blackbook Session

Sometimes I stop and think to myself, what am I doing right now?? I enjoy drawing and painting and at times some of my own crew says things to me like, "wish I had as much time to waste as you do" but I stop and laugh. The silly things we enjoy to do I say do them to the fullest. Those are the things that keep up young at heart. We can always make time to do things that bring ourselves a sense of happiness and well being.

Since I did "waste time" as it was put to me I've decided to make another video of a black book session until I am ready to go and paint. This is inspired by Street Fight aka Coonskin which is an animated classic by Ralph Bakshi who has done, Fire & Ice, American Pop, Lord of the Rings and Felix the Cat just to name a few. He's been a huge inspiration to me since I was a little snot nosed kid drawing and chasing after big brother. You can check more by clicking here.

Barnstormers in NYC

The other night West hit me up and asked if I knew about the show that was taking place. To my surprise I didn't especially since I just spoke to Bluster and he forgot to mention it to me (Thanks Blust!!!!). I was definitely eager to go and support the crew so when we showed up it was a really good turn out. Made our way to the 3rd floor and worked our way down. Got to reconnect with heads I haven't seen since the early 90's which was really dope. Take a few moments and go check out the show at the Joshua Liner Gallery.

Here are a few pics from the show. There are some really good pieces I didn't get a chance to shoot but you get the idea.

Black Book Session

Just trying to be patient and waiting for nice weather to come around to get busy. Recently we've all been pushing each other to do black books and just keep our minds active during the winter season. Also due to being snowed in a recent black book session was canceled. Here's a quick video for your viewing pleasure.

Black Book Session

The weekend that just past was a dope black book session Gets threw. Unfortunately for me it was the end of the month which meant a time for people to move. My frustration was due to their lack of consideration since these people decided to park their moving van blocking my driveway for hours. I mean seriously, people have lives and on top of that my wife is due to give birth anytime now. That would've made me lose my mind. Trying to get that sucker towed was also another mission especially since towing companies won't tow a vehicle unless the cops gave it a ticket. Yeah well at least the fellas documented that night so here's a snippet from that night.

Sun, Fun & Fumes

One day I recall "the Ambassador" WaneOne showing up to the office to visit the crew. He showed me pics from his recent trip to Miami. Dude is all over the maps (one of the most consistent internationally and nationally) bro!!!! He began to tell me of this art expo he went to in Miami and how he knew it was going to blow up. A few years later I completely forgot and come to find out, afterwards of course, the crew was there. I have yet to get finished pics of all their pieces but I know there are some floating around. You can click here for Primary Flight who has great coverage of the walls. These pics were courtesy of our homey Liz, Thanks for hooking it up!! Unfortunately I don't know who all of the artists are as well as have all the pics from the show. I'll say this much, next time its a go!!

Now & Then

I just got this pic. I was asked to be a part but couldn't fit in the time to go and even though I ain't a part of this wall it is still official FC tissue and wanted to rep the crew. I also have been cleaning a few things out and came across some old pics and wanted to share them with you.

First Class Marvels - DanOne, Risk, Serge, Serve, Nasty Neo & Aim4.

This is an actual sculpted and tooled figure that I was supposed have came out with back while I was living in SD. It came from a character I did on The Evil Kills wall. The company in Hong Kong at the time was going through some issues so the timing was never right.

This is a progress shot of the wall going back around 91-92 I believe. This was at 137th Street park. This is a Jabstract production in action.

Unfortunately I don't have the full wall connection but the line is Dos, Camp, Jabs and Vins. Total different ball game back then. I'm even in the pic doing some work.

Why ask why??

Here's a mini video from the previous post "das boot, painting excursions", that were trying to shoot while we painted. Not an easy thing to do while trying to focus on your piece. Regardless it's a short movie. maybe it'll help some get an idea how labor intensive a piece can be.

Das Boot, Painting Excursions

I have been fiending to go and paint. Been really wanting to pull out a 2 man production but just not prepared enough to make it happen this time around. So for now this is enough just to get my feet wet before diving in. Linked up with Sye early this morning and started on our painting adventure. With what ever scraps I had I was able to pull this together. Got to pull out my "get busy" FC gloves.

The roughs all set up and ready to go. He got all crazy with his kung fu technique.

Sye, fast as lightning bro.

Just trying to stay at a steady pace

Complete and ready to go. I had to laugh cause Sye did white highlights (had him up against the ropes). A rarety for the man. We really wanted to add a character but didn't get a chance to beat the clock.

Black Book Sessions

As of recent I've been dealing with certain things that have taken precedence over my painting (going out and painting that is). So in order not to get backed up I decided to let loose a bit into my black book. When I show the crew everyone has funny comments about the pieces. Dontay TC5 thinks I've lost my mind. Sye TC5 tells me he doesn't have time to do black books but he'd rather make time to go out and paint, which he does religiously. Bluster FC is constantly sketching and painting which lets me know that I can always make some time to release some steam and do a page in my black book. I have a few things I'd love to experiment with but haven't figured out how to go about doing so. Back in the days I hardly did color pieces. Now it's just about growth and trying to experiment, which I have yet to do because in my crazy mind I'm trying to work it out. All in due time but for now I present my recent black book session editions.

DJ ITruth (aka Kare One) told me that he just saw this movie called El Super Beasto by Rob Zombie. So once I saw it I got hooked. Pas Primero piece.
