Charlie doesn't surf

Tonight went to check out the Lakai: Fully Flared video premier at Lakewood Theater and I gotta say that Marc Johnson still has it going on. It took 3 parts to show how great of a skater he is. For those who still haven't seen it, the intro is pretty rad. Drop tricks, not bombs.




In an other subject, I just found out about this sweet documentary about global graffiti and street art called Bomb It. Directed and produced by Jon Reiss. Right now is being screened at different film and art festivals but you can sign up for newsletters and pre-order the dvd @ www.bombit-themovie.com

Bunnies

I'm still trying to catch up on projects for school and study for finals next week. I'm thinking of going to Houston next weekend to check out B-Boy Hodown for my first time and report on the graffiti competition and perhaps compete myself, but that is still just a thought.

Other than that today is just another Monday, with bunnies

These are from Bunny; I saw these on the Flickr group album: Dallas Street Art and Graffiti.

Making the beast with two backs

That's right, besides from today just being another monday when Ron Paul starts taking money from prostitutes (gotta give it up to that guy) and my struggle with Othello, I couldn't go off before I watched this Sour Grapes video of them flavoring Dallas a bit.

the paletas are out on the streets so happy hunting and don't forget to send us some pics if you happen to stumble upon one." - SOUR GRAPES

Letters

Saturday night F6 Gallery, this underground art gallery for some of the most talented underground artist from the DFW, hosted it's November show called UPPERCASE. I got there quite early and the art was amazing. This gallery brings out some of the recognized names of the art scene and puts them under one roof for you. The clever theme for this show was...of course, letters, making it possible to bring out some graffiti style into the show.

Javi Update

For the past few months I've been doing some small works on my free time. In between work and school I get to do these few pieces:

Purple Haze. This one was mainly inspired by Hendrix's music. I kept on listening to this song over and over feeling th flow of his guitar and trying to portrait that into the painting. I was also influenced by frequent arguments on how the human/nature/cosmos are somewhat connected with each other.


Colourful Foot Fetish. I can't really say much about this one. It is so spontaneous and raw. Hahahaha. Feet.


Ms. Medula Oblongada. A few months back, I went to a free Erikah Badu show down at the DMA and I made this sketch of her while she was preforming. I was so drawn to her way of singing and appearance that I it made me do this kind of glowing background.



Triple Threat (DFW). A week ago The Triple Threat threw a B-Boy battle gig down at the Balck Forest Theater and I made this for the graffiti competition. Of course after not wining I took it back home, took a picture of it, then...slapped it on this blog. Ha haha. Anyways. Is just a wheat paste of Dallas's Skyline and some other designs.

Eye Poppers

Six Letter Word, or Diogo Potes, graphic designer/illustrator comes in with a visual bomb of colors, shapes, hot babes, and diamonds. His style is very raw yet elaborated, making it seems easy to combine colors. I had a little Q&A with him:

I'm just curious about how you became an illustrator?
since very ltlle boy i was connect in some how with skateboard.

make that kind a graphics always was a dream. i think that all came from there

How long have you been doing this?
graphic design 7 years, illustration i guess 5.

Where do you get your inspiration from?
a bit of everywhere; movies, books, art, artists, magazines, internet surfing, old stuff, etc etc etc......

And...What do you see in your future? and the future of art involvement with society?
i wish i can see that...
