ATX

I'm gonna be gone from the blog, the computer, the house, and yes...the city too, only because I'm going down to Austin for BBoy City this weekend with my boys from Sole Power (Dallas). What's great is that I'm taking some dope shirts that I've been working on (Truheads) and also to hook up WSK crew (Houston) with some gear too. So I'll be getting down on some street art and I'll bring you guys a scoop of whatever happens down there. Cool? In the mean time, go check out the F6 Gallery Lock-In Show and also the Ultraviolet Rock Show & Art Auction. Peace to the most high.

Street Art Locator

"What the fuck?" you might ask yourself, but indeed my friend, artist and web designer Andy Clark has put together this cool concept powered by google maps to allow any street art lover to spot art from everywhere around the world. His website, www.streetartlocator.com, let's people upload pictures and locate in the map where the art was spotted. You can search the world for anything from graffiti to stickers. So if you happen to take a picture of any street art you come across around the DFW...you know where it can go for the whole world to see!

East vs West

Adidas designed a project to celebrate the iconic Superstar. This project involved artist from both East and West coast and a pair of giant, SUV-size exact replicas, down to the fire-hose shoelaces! Artists' collective included Surface2Air (NY) featuring Gordon Hull, Daniel Jackson and Alexia Stamatiou, and Upper Playground (SF) featuring Sam Flores. At the end of the three day project both shoes were transported to Venice Beach, CA for a showdown! A short film about the act was made to document both parties' experiences and different styles.

S.K.A.T.E.

I know this might look kind of random, but as a fan of skateboarding and a skateboarder myself, I got so much love for the game SKATE. This goes way back between friends and rivals to show what new tricks you've learned practicing in your room carpet and what not. So now Collective Board Shop bring up the official eS game of SKATE tour to Dallas. Check it and sign up.



Collective is the official Texas stop of the eS game of SKATE tour.



Free Entry, Saturday the 28th of June.



Online registration is mandatory you MUST register on the game of SKATE web site.

Paletas v2.0

Sour Grapes were at the Sneaks Up 2008 in San Antonio debuting their new paleta shirts. By the look of it, seems that they were a hit! The design is fresh, the colors are loud, and the people that bring it to you are...well...bad ass. Big props on the tees. Now it's turn for Dallas to show love, so go order one at www.sourgrapes13.com

Are your buttons easy to push?

Live Art Review

The organizer of the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, Stephen Millard, was kind enough to let me execute the live art concept yesterday at the festival. This of course was done on the street so people could experience art being created on the spot. At the beginning of the afternoon we were put on a really good spot on the corner of Main St. and Malcom X but unfortunately the assholes from Chrysler Motors were complaining of us blocking their entrance and other fire lane crap. So even tho we were moved down few feet from the intersection, we were still able to have fun and paint all day. The response of the crowd was fantastic. Sunday was a better day, better spot, better art. Many curious pedestrians made their way to see the 'box' that we were painting on. I guess for people to see something like this being done was pretty new, specially when you have more than 5 artist painting one single object. Other artist stopped by and check out what we were doing and gave us a lot of props. Hey, even Dallas Morning News guy was fascinated. Anyways, I want to thank Stephen once again for letting us do this. Big props to all my friends that came by and painted: Mer, Chris, Danny, Chantelle, SEDSO, Richard, and the list goes on...
Thanks to Town2 Magazine for support, and also to everyone from Ghetto Palettes that were showcasing some great art at the festival too.

Live Art

The Deep Ellum Arts Festival will be going on this Friday thru Sunday. We were lucky enough to get a spot to do what we love to do, art. And what better way to bring it to the people other than doing it live! We'll be displaying some art also that will be available for purchase. So you already know, come down this weekend, experience all kinds of arts, crafts, music performances, and food.
