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.

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.

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.
