The last little bit...

I kind of fell off a little over the last couple of months. Been walking the streets and flicking but just haven't put it all together. Every now and then you just get lost in all the action, let the work pile up until it buries you. Well, this is me digging myself out of it. Here's a bunch of stuff from the last couple of months. Walls, rooftops, spots and shows.

I passed on through the EarthCrusher show a bit back to lend my support for Mr. TV Head a bit back too. Didn't stay long but this gent kills it. Loved the helmet, the exhibit, and his energy. You can check his work here at his site, he's got a bunch of good stuff, including some dope prints and drawings.

 

I also passed through Fake Shop last month for the Sneakers High Vs. Runners Low show that was a pretty awesome too. Again though, I didn't get that many shots of the show cause I got lost in all the kerfuffle but the highlights were definitely the classic and fresh assortment of sneakers and related paraphernalia from Michael DSK, the beats, tunes, and lyrics from Loes, Narcy, et al. You can check out some great shots of the evening by the talented Jose Enrique Montes Hernandez and shots from the current Saturation exhibit going on in San Juan, Puerto Rico featuring works by Philip Pun18 Cruz, Alex Scaner, Zek, and Kems.

And yeah, I'm still working those rooftops as much as possible. One of those rooftop editions is definitely in the works... I love catching unique city sky lines, especially from the rooftops of some of the choice spots in the city. I've been scouting out some more locales, more to come soon.

Been trying to get more freight lately as well. It's an aspect of the local as well as larger subculture that I have been very interested in covering  in more detail for some time now, but due to daily and academic restraints have not been able to dive into as much as I have wanted to. I'll be trying to put more work in on that end of things so hopefully I'll have more freight flicks in future posts to come.

 Lots more that I am trying to line up as soon as I can get to it. Stay posted.

St Pattys Weekend 2012

Another year and another St Patty's. Beautiful, record breaking weather made this an awesome weekend. Good people and good times to start the spring off, even if it's not official yet. The weekend started with a session at the PSC wall. It was a great day that involved a lot of curb chilling and beer. Cheers to Meor, Sohoe, Horse, KidPQ, Beast, and everyone else who passed through and chilled that afternoon. It's a good little wall, one that I'll have to remember to pass on through to flick more often.

Sunday was yet another record breaking day, and the parade was in full effect. It looked like a record turn out too. Massive crowds of drunk revelers, over priced dep beer (I never bring enough and am too liberal with sharing), green everything, back alley parties, and solid group of degenerates to party with made it even better too. I wouldn't have it any other way. Like everyone else this past Sunday I had way too much alcohol coursing through my veins, and I even started late. I didn't  make it to the church until about 1:15 and the place was packed, especially on the north side of St Caths. It's a good space, with a pretty ok view, and good company made it a great start off.

After that I snaked my way on through to carve out some prime rooftop but my access was blocked by some snitches. Instead of wasting time I made a move through some nearby alleys and come across a bunch of folks chilling getting their drink on pretty solidly. I spent the rest of the afternoon there getting pretty blasted. I was pretty plastered, so If I said hi to you incoherently or talked a bunch of nonsensical shit to you for a bit, sorry. And Happy Saint Patty's. No one should really remember the day. I'm sure we'll all catch up on semi-coherent terms some point soon.

I cut out early to check Fluke at A'Shop as he was just finishing up the final touches on this massive container he had been painting since the wee hours of the morning. Solid job. Monster piece. Classic Fluke.

I never made it to Barry's for the big shindig. I was too finished. Next time for sure. Not a tonne of pics but I was a little busy being festive. Again, happy Saint Patty's to all. See you all around soon enough.
