Witness This.

Blog overload! I'm glad to be a part of this new blog project a few creative heads along with myself put together. We're starting to gather a bit of a fan base with unique imagery and music (some FREE!!!). Check it out at www.witness-this.com. Witness This New Years Eve Party details to follow. Shit's gonna get weird!

Wall Candy.

I've started to invest in new pieces of art since design has become such a big part of my life. The industry has done so much for me so it's only right to give back and support your local artists. Here's a few from my collection...This is a great piece by Ian Ross of San Francisco. It means a lot to me as it was from a live art show in SF and was painted on my birthday while I was in attendance. One of my best friends picked it up for me to my surprise and was one of the kindest gestures I've ever received. Much love Jamal. Ur next.

I saw this piece at my friend Tocayo's art show down in San Diego. The artist is EXIST 1981. Loved the Sound Of Music print collage with his other work.
This is my most recent pickup that I'm incredibley stoked on. This is a signed Shepard Fairey print entitled "The Presidential Seal." For all you who don't know Fairey was the artist behind the Obama "HOPE" art and is soon to be apart of the biggest lawsuit the art world has ever seen. No doubt one of the most iconic street artists of our time. I picked this beast up at a great charity art auction/xmas party a coworker of mine put on to support a friend of his that has ALS. It makes me happy to know that the proceeds of the event went to that kind of support.

"HASTA LA MUERTE" OPENING NIGHT

My homeslice Juan has been tearing up the art scene here in SD for a while now. Recently, he had a show in North Park and, as usual, KILLED IT! I was unable to go but was fortunate enough to get a private pre-screening ealier in the day by the man himself. Check the goods on his blog Tocayo, or his facespace. He also is a beast of pitcher on the diamond, fear him if you're ever facing him in the box. Enjoy his pics of his show!

Recycled Cardboard Harley Davidson

Is there anything that can’t be made out of paper? Be it a useful disposable omelet pan or something more decorative like the paper Freedom Gundam we had reported on earlier, it seems like paper can be rendered into everything. And what’s next? A car? A building perhaps? Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, cardboard boxes have been transformed into a visual replica of the iconic Americana mode of transportation, the Harley Davidson.

Kenny Scott couldn’t bear the thought of cardboard boxes going to waste, so he decided to give them a new life and mold them into a life-size replica of a Harley Davidson ride. Everything down to the spokes and wheels have been mimicked to a near pinpoint precision. It comes as no surprise that the paper Harley built out of cardboard, paper glue and craft knife won best in show at the University of Central Lancashire’s end of the year exhibition. via: Auto Motto

Banksy Works Spotted In New York

If your unfamiliar with the street artist Banksy, don't stress. To a certain degree most people are. This anonymous artist has been secretly tagging spots all around the world with his controversial art. Recently he released an amazing documentary, "Exit Through The Gift Shop." I highly recommend seeing this film if you're into this kinda scene. Which. I. AM. Anyway, he hit NYC recently with a few pieces below.



I was fortunate enough to catch one of his first few pieces close-up in London. You know you're respected when there is no other graffiti anywhere near your work...
