I painted in Praha, Czech Republic recently for namesfest.net. They flew in a bunch of artists from Europe, Japan, Brasil, Russia, and the US. I met a lot of really cool people, and the trip gave me a refreshing perspective on things from politics to world history.
The US is very insulated from the rest of the world. Europeans especially have a long history of living together with different cultures and understanding each other. They seem to be very aware of and interested in world events, history, and culture beyond their own home countries.
Traveling, if you have the time and money, is a must.
Sometimes it takes me awhile to retouch and edit all the photos. Here are a few for now.
Big up to Honza!

A couple of years ago I bought a Canon G-7 digital camera. One of the best purchases I’ve made in some time.
Although one thing missing on the G-7 is the ability to shoot RAW files. I skipped upgrading to the G-9 because I was so satisfied with the G-7.
Canon just released the G-10, it came into the studio today and I’m really excited. I hope it lives up to the rep of the 7.
I shot everything with the G-7, all the product shots seen on this blog, artwork documentation, graff, everything, even the videos. Day, night, indoor, outdoor, and studio. If you want real versatility for a very reasonable price ($500) the G series is the only way to go.
Forget about the Leica, Lumix, and Sony, unless you just want something small and shoot all photos on auto for your face book.
This camera can create files big enough for a full page in a magazine. It has a hot shoe to sync with studio lights and it takes amazing night and low light shots, plus it shoots RAW files. I don’t think any other point and shoot comes close.
Plug into your computer retouch, crop, and you’re good. Technology that is helpful and cost effective.
Get it here. They will sell out.
Sharing is caring.

Very rarely do I go out to clubs anymore. I’m more of a linger after dinner with friends or go to a specific event or opening.
A lot of clubs in NYC are rammed up with bridge and tunnel people or are on some snooty bottle service steez, everyone acting like they got money, and for some reason, clubs are now in “districts” full of bars or clubs, so the whole area is rammed up with “nightlife”.
I went out the other night to this spot that is really fun, Q-tip spinning great music, no pretentious crap, and in a great location, no other clubs or bars next door or down the street.
It was cool to see Q-tip out amongst the people, representing the old fashioned way, good music, nice mixed crowd, good times.
Tip and Vashtie, party people in the place to be.

The Smashing Machine 2002
Director: John Hyams. HBO Films.
Mixed Martial arts has come a really long way and is constantly evolving. John Hyams’s 2002 documentary follows American wrestler Mark Kerr through his training and ultimate rise to stardom in PRIDE fighting. Really brutal at times, but very interesting if you enjoy fight sports. Mark struggles with drug use, the pressures of fame, and the desire to win.
The opening sequence in the film displays footage from early “vale tudo” (anything goes) fights in Brasil, the head butts are brutal. Not for the faint of heart.
Below is a small clip from youtube

My friend sent me these photos. They remind me of being a young kid, I’m getting older and I forget that I used to be running around like this, and I also forget, it still goes on.
