Heavy Metal was happening in the 80s in France like everywhere in the World. However It never reached out the point where hordes of wild teenagers hang out high and drunk in parking lots like in the US. It was pretty much a super small subculture. Here is what the album covers and demo tapes looked like in the land of Napoleon and Daft Punk. Still fresh of the Xerox and airbrush in the basement…Bootleg Anthrax welcome!

Last Sunday I went to my boy Chris wedding’s brunch in Central Park. I went to the Union Square Station to catch the C to 72nd Street. When I arrived on the platform I see this hood kid (barely 20 years old) with his little girl sitting inside a huge Escalate toy. It was so out of context that I straight told the dude his car was dope and that I would love to take some flicks. The kid had that mean “don’t fuck with me face” but was cool about me taking some flicks. I asked him how he brought that big ass toy inside and he simply told me: “with the elevator”. The best part is when he actually pushed the car inside the C train and at the same time blocked a full door with it. He went up to 72nd Street not giving a damn about the pile of tourists trying to squeeze in at Time Square station. He was giving that “Mobb Deep Juvenile Hell” look to any body trying to tell him he was retarded to bring that ugly toy inside the train. Another great New York minute!

I remember this scene like it was only a few days ago… Things didn’t changed too much over there for the freedom of speech… For instance you won’t find that bellow youtube movie if you google “Tienanmen” in China. All you’ll get is nice & clean pictures of the place. For many, the Tienanmen square will always be the symbol of the 1989 chinese democratic uprising that ended up in a blood bath.

Thanks Adam G.

Steve from 5BORO sent me those 2 flicks of my designs traveling in the street of Brazil. 5B taking over the world one country at the time!

PLAYMOBIL came up with their greatest set since my childhood. This is a must have dropping in August for all the graphic designers (and there is a lot of them) using pyramids, etc… This is the ultimate references for you guys. My kids are already asking about it.

Here is the Jux subscriber cover in case you haven’t seen it yet…

I bumped into this guy the other day. Thanks for hooking me up.

Today is magazine day… I just got in the mail one of the 2 covers I did for the June issue of Juxtapoz magazine. They did a nice 12 pages feature about my work including a cool shot from my boy ZUEK
