As anyone not living under a rock should know, Os Gemeos were recently in New York City painting a new mural over on Houston and Bowery. Besides having the privilege to document the Os Gemeos mural along with Martha Cooper, as well as get shots of a truck Os Gemeos and the Brazil Crew painted, we also got to hang out quite bit. True to form, even when not painting, Os Gemeos and the Brazil Crew usually fill the gaps between conversation with something creative. Here’s some shots of our chalk board after one of the times they stopped by the AKANYC studio to hang out.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen shots of the Os Gemeos mural that just got painted over in New York City’s Bowery neighborhood. Besides painting walls and blogging, Os Gemeos and most of the VLOK Crew also got in on some truck action. Here’s some shots I took of Os Gemeos, Coyo, Finok, and Ise giving a local delivery truck a new paint job. Hopefully, its something most of you haven’t already seen.

Many of the people that know ‘Also Known As’ probably don’t know that we also operate as a boutique creative services agency catering to a select group of clients. In fact for the last two years or so, we’ve been so busy outsourcing our services, that there hasn’t been much time to put efforts into our own stuff. Hopefully by Fall ‘09 you’ll start to see a more public refocusing on our own brand, but until then, I figured I’d give everyone a small glimpse at some of what we do behind the scenes for other companies. Unfortunately, I can’t really discuss the details of this project or even who it was for, but needless to say it was a real pleasure to have access to Robert Ammirati’s Soho photo studio for a couple days while we were shooting. Robert is an incredible photographer in his own right, who’s been shooting fashion and product photography for the better part of the last 25 years here in New York City. He was also generous enough to lend out his space for a particularly challenging photo assignment, and share some pretty incredible stories about guest lectures from Salvadore Dali he sat in on as an undergrad at Cooper Union or the eccentrics that queued up outside Studio 54. Anyhow, here’s a few production shots…

Last time around it was my son August going nuts over Supremes collab with Kermit the frog. This time around it was my wife Christy waking me up after a long night in the photo studio to gush over Supreme’s new face man, Lou Reed. Seems like while most people were sleeping, the Supreme camp was creeping, and this morning downtown NYC wakes up to find new Supreme posters featuring Lou Reed plastered up all over the neighborhood. Tip of the hat to James for always being on point.
Here’s a couple shots I took around the neighborhood this morning…

Anyone following my posts already knows I’ve been steady exposing my kids to art, culture and some of the cool stuff living in NYC has to offer. Usually it seems like my son August makes it into the spotlight on these sorts of posts, so I dug through some old photos to give my daughter Ava a little shine. Here’s a couple shots of her over the last few years… From helping Os Gemeos on their first Deitch opening, to hanging with her earliest best friend James (Dalek‘s son) at openings, to more recently checking out Eric Elms installation at the NikeID studio (She was a big fan of the plush zipper), and Kaws’ last big art opening in NYC, she’s definitely had no shortage of cool stuff to see.
