Street Circus

For those of you who attended the street circus last Friday, much thanks! Here a pic of Themba's submission to the show. If you're a fan of the wire, you may recognize the street as Dookie's street.

Also, just another reminder that our next event, "Return Of The Waxxx" is on for this Saturday.

shooze! pt.2

here is my first post in my series about the shoes that i have in my collection.

today we have the jordan 1 red army. these are some of my favorite joints and only come out on sunny days. they have red suede on the toe and on the sides of them. the toe is red leather and the swoosh and inside of the shoe green is velvet. the laces are green, red and black, at first i was planning to change the laces to white or black but they kind of grew on me.


i likes these so much that i decided to do an oil painting of them. it took me a long time to finish it and i killed my self working on the details.


on another note "return of the waxxx" is coming up on saturday the 17th, it will feature hip hop cover art from albums, remixed into my style of drawing. sadly the laser engraved records didn't really work out the way we had planned so we had to move on to a different idea.

i will try my best to post some pics before the show starts to let everyone get an idea of what we will be showing that night.

for this show i will be teaming up with my boy kenrick currie to produce different hip hop icons and have them laser engraved into records! yes vinyl! its going to be hot as hell. i will post the pics as soon as i get them done.

i painted the picture above to go with the fantastic 5 idea that we came up with for the show. the design was done by the very talented leo shia. if you want to hear some real hip hop, do not miss this night.

shooze! pt.1

well as anyone who reads this should know i have a love for shoes and since most of my paintings are still only in the sketch stages i decided i would start a series of posts called "shooze!" in it i will post some shoes from my collection and give them a review.

today i will keep it simple and give everyone a few pics that i took of the whole collection together. this is just to let you know what i am working with here. please ignore the cat bowls and water dishes in the background, i was too lazy to cut them out.



the majority of the collection is nike however there are a few random boys in the bunch.

i will be back soon with my favorite pairs and reviews to go along with them.

bff remix

i know it has been a long time since i have posted something, but i am hoping that this will be the start of a long run of updates.

today we have a "remix" of a painting that i had in the "that's art folks" show. i was asked to do a variation of the unseen bros painting.



the painting is of the yeti and big foot hanging out at the rugby world cup. the painting has been changed to resemble the famous scene after south africa won the rugby world cup in 1995. in the picture i have morphed yeti into nelson mandela and the captain françois pienaar into big foot. i added a few other south arfican touches that were not in the original painting to set the tone. i also added the preliminary sketch to show the beginning of the idea.





more to come

well its been a little while since i have posted something and i am sure that anyone that reads this is wondering what happened at the art show that we were promoting on here. well i know its a little late but i have finally gotten around to posting some pics from the show. over all it went well and we learned an few things that should make the next show even better. check the pics below. i will also be posting the artwork from the show this week too so stay tuned.


a special shout out to dj charles, anti hero and marcus aurileus for keeping the party live and moving for the whole night.

a serious collector...

first of all happy new year to all of the people that read this stuff. today i have decided to give everyone a look at one of my favorite unfinished pieces, as you can see we have jabba the hutt showing off a pair of his custom jordans. when this is finished i might not be able to sell it because of the emotional attachment that i have to it. when i came up with this idea i was not sure how much i would like it but, it has grown on me a lot. this pic only shows some of the story so you might have to see the finished thing to see what i mean and the 3-d model of the shoe that kenrick helped us finish is so good that i might have to beg nike to make it for me. hopefully i will be able to upload the 3-d models next week so everyone can see how wicked they look.
