The absolute best part of the area where this is, is the odd remnants of Santería rituals that are always found there.

Love painting at night there is no better feeling to be in a quite urban war zone while the warriors are sleeping quietly at home, readying their minds for tomorrows war.

Bacon X Rath
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Bacon X Rath:
bacon x rath: Rath Ups Cod 3a
Ive been working slowly and spottily on this idea for a few years now. The idea of combining pieces, and have yet to really commit or propperly prepare a wall to do it the way i see it my head; For one reason or another the right time hasnt presented itself yet, or maybe i havent forced it yet. It started with this in Montreal about 2 years ago with this Re-Run X Rath* pictured at the bottom of post. And Later that year, did this, “rated as Ideated” painful little jawn. IT seems like the more i did it the worse it got, a year ago was this, HeavyXRath.
So this weekend i got back on the fail horse and road out in hopes of doing a decent Bacon X Rath. And as it would happen it was a cool 92 degrees yesterday and the heat Kick the crap out of me. At one point i found myself lying on some concrete that was in the shade, my shirt was up so my back could cool off on the cooler concrete. I drank 2 gallons of water, two 16oz Tropicana Ojs, and a little bit of a Tropicana lemonade, which it turned out was lemon flavored not lemonade so that got trashed. RastaFari is a blessing but the Lox can be an oven in the hot heat and sun parade. There was a lot more background work and top letter integration i wanted to do, but I admitted defeat in the mid evening.
********* the olders…

Good Times
Sunday, April 4th, 2010years ago i did these painting, and etching based on my memories of the paintings from the opening scenes of good times. Looking back on them they didnt really mimic them much beyond having a certain lanky quality to the bodies. At any rate i was reminded of them the other day and googled the crap out of them. Ah, ha, how could i forget It was Ernie Barnes, amazing. So i did some quick sketches of a few characters from the Sugar Shack (see below):
The plan was to develope them a bit more and maybe create a scene of some sort, but i got to the wall saturday and it was too nice to just do a piece so i decided to try out a few of the characters i sketched the night before.;
Happy Easter & Good Times in preparation for a good summer, and in fond memory of the MLK (04.1968.04)
i am the key holder
Sunday, March 21st, 2010So saturday was slated to be in the 70s, I got up early got all my crap together and hit the BX. I managed to roll the wall and get a freestyled sketch up when i got a text from Booger, “where are my keys?”
I have no i dea lady im not even at home. I put my phone back into my pocket to discover my keys seem heavier then normal, well as it turned out i had both set of keys. So i slapped a lil fill on the piece instead of taking more time to finess the letters, then packed up and went home so Booger and P-fab could go for a ride. ANd i spent the rest of the day with adjida waiting for sunday so i could go finish with the time i needed/ wanted. Sunday was stimeied by the fact that in afternoon i was slated to have achain saw party to get the tree teh fell in the back yard sorted. so i hurried everything alona dn got home to find boogers father in the back wayd already hard at work, Yeah i felt like a dick.
The read and midnight blue go against pretty much everyone of my color No-nos and i did it anyway, sometimes you gotta try when you know you dont like to see if your taste has changed any. I dont hate it.
Graffiti’s Story, From Vandalism to Art to Nostalgia
Friday, February 5th, 2010Thanks to Saul Nofizaro aka Mr Saul Metnick, of blandscape.org Photographer extraordinaire for putting me onto this NY times story…
Mr. Felisbret, 46, chose the long way. Not that he is unused to fence-jumping. In the 1970s, that was one of his skills as a budding graffiti writer who stole into subway yards. Using the nom de graf DEAL, he was part of the Crazy Inside Artists, a legendary crew from East New York, Brooklyn. This time, though, instead of wielding a spray can, he pulled out a camera and took a quick snapshot of the artwork, done with the landlord’s permission.
