ICA Experiment Recap

2009-04-09T21:35:00.006-04:00

The day after the NEU Springfest I painted at the ICA Experiment night with Kenji and Fish.

We painted throughout the night while DJs spun on the first floor.

You can see more photos of the event on the Boston Phoenix website.

Then the following afternoon I sat on a panel for a discussion about my work and my relationship to 'street art' etc. This was part of a days worth of programs revolving around Shepard Faireys continuing show at the ICA.

The panel was interesting...you can catch a clip of me and Kenji blathering away below...

Good to be busy i guess.

Spring Fest

2009-04-09T21:08:00.006-04:00

Last Thursday, Project SF did a mural for Northeastern Universities annual Spring Fest. This was our third year doing the event and i think this year was my favorite so far.

Check out Fishs great post on the Project SF blog detailing the projects process....

ICA Experiment

2009-03-19T17:08:00.002-04:00

A little heads up about an appearance I'm making at the ICA in a couple weeks.

I'll be participating in a live painting event Friday night April 3rd at the ICA Experiment night along with a few fellow members of Project SF. I'll also be speaking on a panel the next day, Saturday April 4th, regarding how street art...in particular Shepard Faireys work... has affected my personal work and goals.

More info here... and here...

Should be an interesting couple days so if your around town come by and check it out.

Coraline Dunks

2009-01-28T13:08:00.002-05:00

Sooo ...got another package the other day.

A limited number of Nike Dunks were created to celebrate Laika’s first full-length animated film, Coraline. Designed in part by my pal Rob Heppler at WK ...they have a heavy canvas upper with hand stitched details, a leather toe and collar, satin lining and a glow in the dark sole. These are special edition 1/100 that includes the large button. Definitely a creative kick!

Apparently there are more of these that can be won by watching the movie when it comes out on Feb 6th but they will not be for sale.

Thanks Rob!

Friends indeed.

2009-01-06T10:47:00.003-05:00

Finally back in the US..and after a good 2 weeks of holiday chillin i'm back to the grind.

Over the 'break' i got a package from my friends at 3sixteen.

Got some fresh new gear including my personal fav...this dope field jacket.

Big big thanks to Johan (and Jeff!)

Be sure to check out 3sixteen.com and Jeffs blog BOOOOOOOM!

Beijing

2008-12-16T21:40:00.003-05:00

Took a short trip to Beijing over the weekend from my current home base of Shanghai. Saw all the standard sights ..Great Wall, Forbidden City, Olympic Stadium etc. but the trip was definitely highlighted by a visit to the 798 Arts area.

The area is an old factory complex on the outskirts of Beijing thats been converted into artist studios, galleries and cafes. I was kind of surprised to find this in a city like Beijing...the youth are standing up!

798 area

some of the sculptures outside of a studio.

the main gallery at 798. check the maoist slogans left on the ceiling from the old factory.

personal fav of mine. old AK-47 graffiti. seemingly protected (via fence) from anyone going over it. if you don't know about AK-47. read up. one of..if not 'the'.. first graff artist in Beijing.

still functioning factory tracks. something tells me kenji is gonna want this photo.

Coming home soon. Excited to get back and create some new work.

Shanghied

2008-12-09T03:20:00.003-05:00

So..I'm kinda slowly getting this thing off the ground. But its still better than an outdated portfolio site.

I'm currently 'living' in Shanghai, China for 3+ weeks on assignment for Converse. They have a new office over here and I'm working with the team to get them up and running.

Overall an amazing experience so far. Few pics from the stay below...

Rise and shine!

You can still access it via the link on the right for now but i will be updating this blog with news and updates, and my flickr site..also linked on right..for new work, opening/party shots etc.
