1NCOMING

Alright people it's been a while since my last post and that's because we've been busy! "Return of the Waxxx" was an unbelievable success! All paintings sold. I know you're curious, so I'll give you a little taste. For this show we decided to recreate some iconic hip-hop album covers and they were loved and immediately consumed by the masses. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported!

On another note, Themba has been commissioned to do a spread in 1NCOMING (A Taiwan based magazine sold all over Asia). More details to come...stay tuned!

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.

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
