THE MASTER BLASTER

Greg Lamarche — 2009-06-18T10:35:47+00:00

IZ was in my mind the most prolific train writer ever, and for my generation from 1981 and on he was our IN TOP. I had the chance to interview him several years back when he was still in Rockaway and he was very candid and generous. I will never forget him telling me that he painted trains every single day in 1982. Coming from anybody else I would not believe it but IZ I believed.

A sad day in the graffiti world, we lost a true pioneer.

Rest in Peace Mike Martin aka IZ, IKE 327, CI…TMB Forever

Love Boat

Greg Lamarche — 2009-06-02T14:19:57+00:00

This is a poster for the Regional Addiction Prevention program ( RAP) - Hmm, clever acronym), in Washington D.C., and was circulated in 1985 in an effort to combat the rampant PCP abuse during the 80’s. I would love to hear what they told the illustrator…ah, make smoking dust look like your blowing your brains out…Good job bro.
The mushroom cloud with the skull is illmatic…The gun with the fatty is pretty ill too.

Ernesto Neto

Greg Lamarche — 2009-05-14T11:53:03+00:00

Went up to the Park Avenue Armory last night with my wife to check out Ernesto Neto’s installation, anthropodino. . It was also one of those nights when all you have is beer for dinner and a few handfuls of chips and a caipirinha for dessert….so I apologize about the blurry photos.
It’s something you have to see in person, it’s mind blowing.

Neto is a sculptor from Rio who totally transforms the space, which was interesting to view against the old dilapidated building, (yes there is a firing range in the basement.) Also peep the trophy rooms designed by Tiffany. The pendulant sacks as stated in the press release are filled with spices like clove, ginger, cumin and lavender just to name a few. You can see how they are staining some of the cloth. It is a great place to bring the kids, you are encouraged to touch, smell, sit and walk through it. It’s worth the trip and all proceeds go back into renovating the Armory.

five stars.

Brighton Beach Memoir

Greg Lamarche — 2009-04-27T12:16:19+00:00

I went on a photo mission out in BK this past weekend and came across some truly old graffiti. Way before the Lox and DMX repped Ruff Riders, Mikey and Pee Wee were running through the back alleys of Brighton Beach with the original Rough Riders crew, (Tags Dated 1954)...

This is fresh…Not necessarily graffiti but still hand done. I believe this is also from the same era as the Rough Riders, possibly even earlier…still digging. More on this mission in the future…Thanks S.K.

Have been making new work in the studio…cutting up hundreds and hundreds, ok thousands of pieces of paper. The piece on the bottom is a collage I made last year and just got around to scanning yesterday…

HAND STYLES

Greg Lamarche — 2009-04-10T11:30:31+00:00

Among other things a good part of this week was spent working on some hand styes for T-shirt designs and logos…Here are some out takes.

This is my version of “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”...I know it’s missing a few letters but so what.

loosening up…

Can you tell I was watching Do it for the band: Women of the sunset strip on VH2…holy crap.

The 3d effect comes off better in the thumbnail

Darth Vader

Greg Lamarche — 2009-03-17T11:37:34+00:00

When I was younger I went to a few comic conventions, circa 1979-1981. At one of these conventions held in the basement of the old Taft hotel, ( which either has been renamed or does not exist anymore) I met Darth Vader and got his autograph. I hung it on the wall next to my bed and I can’t front for years I truly believed that I legitimately had his real signature… On another note whoever did sign this had some nasty ass penmanship.

Black Sabbath ‘81

Greg Lamarche — 2009-03-10T10:38:53+00:00

This is a drawing I did right around the time I first started writing in the summer of 81. I wasn’t totally hip to what 666 meant yet..I was 12.

Whimsical Caprice

Greg Lamarche — 2009-02-12T17:21:11+00:00

When looking for collage materials I often come across some odd things and hidden gems. This (used), Valentine’s day card from 1978 being one of them…fuckin’ classic and well put.

Note: if you need a last minute Valentine’s day card print this one up, buff out Lefty’s name and give it to your lady on Saturday, don’t forget.
