APP-O-LUTION

2012-05-14T18:24:38+00:00

I Like the way this is going.
HeavyPAC (The Heavy Projects + PublicAdCampaign) created this demo of their experimental mobile application that digitally resurfaces buildings in urban centers.
It is a natural progression from their previous app; the AR | AD Takeover in New York City.
The mind of an artsist considers anything possible.

GRAFFITI STOCKS ARE UP.

2012-02-03T19:59:04+00:00

The true value of Graffiti and Art in general can never be summed up in $ and ¢, it is bigger than that, however it’s fascinating to see the prizes paid for original Basquiat’s and on down the line.
And then amazing shit like this happens.
Excerpt from BBC News.
“Choe’s payout could be worth more money than auction house Sotheby’s attracted for its record-breaking $200.7m (£127m) sale in 2008 for a collection of work by Damien Hirst.”

ENTER THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON

2012-01-01T23:15:12+00:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!
According to eastern philosophy, The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Dragon is regarded as a divine beast - the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. The Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority.

REAL STREET REAL FASHION

2011-11-09T13:20:34+00:00

I am proud to announce my partaking in a current exhibition curated by The Victoria & Albert Museum in London, aka The V&A. The exhibition is titled “Selling dreams” 100 years of fashion photography. The exhibition also features some of my own initial sources of creative inspiration, photography masters who have shaped epochs of style throughout the past century, including:
Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel and Jurgen Teller.
My contribution to this exhibition stems from a series of my early work and is part of the exhibition chapter titled “capturing real life”. The image was made in the mid 90’s and was really about capturing “Ghetto Fabulous” before the term was even coined. The series feature “real” people from the streets, and models from agencies that were generally too street for mainstream, and fashion documenting the times by mixing straight up street classics like Nike kicks, Canal Street gear and windbrakers with Comme de Garcon and YSL. All shot on location in Chinatown as well as my old hood in the L.E.S.

Model Yalitza

The V&A is home to the UK’s National Collection of the
Art of Photography. The Collection comprises over half a million works including many hundreds of fashion photographs. This is the
first touring exhibition from the V&A’s Collection to explore the work of 40 select international fashion photographers and to draw together
such a broad range of important historic and contemporary fashion images. This exhibition will be unveiled for the very first time at
Light House, as part of a UK tour. The show is on view until Friday 13 January 2012.
Special thanks to Kathryn Kliszat Curator at the Lighthouse.

WU TANG VS SHAOLIN
Living proof that real quality goes along way, Raekwon’s latest album is stacked w that original Raekwon and Wu tang swagga that has gotten even better with the years.
In a world over saturated with meaningless Pop Corn, It is a real pleasure to experience great artists getting to hone their skills and expand on their talents. in this case from the 5th boro of Shaolin to the inner cities and traveling far with it to develop a worldly sophistication, all while maintaining a rugged and raw New York realness. Check the new album and enjoy Raekwon painting pictures in your mind like only masterly lyricist can do. Its a tuff news flash from the hood.

The flix below are from a photo session i took in 95’ surrounding the release of “only built 4 Cuban linx ” with Raekwon featuring Ghost face killah.
Recently our paths have crossed again and I am now working on a new project from a new angle involving Raekwon.
Read full story and check back for updates.

Plenty of cuts on this joint.
Buy the album and get inspired!

BITERS BEWARE- RICHARD PRINCE

2011-04-07T20:17:01+00:00

I have just received the news that my friend and fellow photographer Patrick Cariou has won his copyright infringement laws suit against artist Richard Prince.
Richard Prince presented a show at the Gagosian gallery in Chelsea in 2008. I went there and to my disbelief i recognized Patrick’s photos as the main object in these giant mural paintings. Basically Richard Prince straight jacked Patricks photo’s from his book Yes Rasta, published by Power House, and scanned the images, then digitally printed the images on canvas and cut out the eyes and mouths of the subject, juxtaposed them against some other photos he jacked, and threw some paint on top. Richard Prince and Gagosian has sold these works for over $10 million. and I hear that the judge has ruled in Patrick’s favor to receive even more than that.
I hope that this will help to remind jacking ngz to back off and think twice before swiping other artist hard work for free. we work too damn hard for our royalty.
