I was psyched when the homies Rich & Thot & Learn hit me up today to let me know we got the GO on painting the soon-to-be-demolished USM Dorm Buildings. I took a choice spot and painted right over the door and windows. Big, Fast, Sloppy, and Funky. I've never painted a piece layered like this, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I dig it, but the next one will bang. Had to bounce early, but I'll post photos of everyone's burners when they're done. Click-Zoom.
It has been years since I rocked a proper Blueprint. These days I just go with the flow and play with the space most of the time. Today I sketched this sorry doodle while trying to wrap my head around the layering process. Gotta get back to being serious with the pencil and Sharpie. Summer 09 will be a scorcher!

Just got home from a NYC cameo for the KDU X Diesel "Only The Brave" Expo last night in Soho. Good people. Good drinks. Amazing art. Good times! I've scoured Google in search of the thousands of pictures I know were taken last night, and have yet to find professional quality shots of the artwork. So here are my amateur photos of the art, and when I come across better ones I will link it up. 
It seems most of the camera flashes were focused on other subjects, and I can't blame them. Like Whoa! To my fellow KDU homies in this show, I am sorry I can't do this proper and plug your name and country, I am simply too hung over and can't remember everyone's specifics. But when another website hooks it, I will link it. 
Big thanks to The KDU + Sub Rosa + Diesel for having us on board with this Expo, and the Miami stop next week (May 7th). The show turned out great. I wish these photos could portray the sheer size of the gallery and the impact of the art. Everyone was shook!
The set is now complete! There's a spot reserved on my bookshelf top row for these. While I was in London last month I came across a couple books from this series by Wooden Books and was blown away. Each mini-book is packed with uncut raw knowledge. I did some research online, found their website, and grabbed the entire set. Really, really amazing stuff. Beautifully printed and thoughtfully curated, and the perfect size to travel with. Wooden Books UK Paperback Editions. Coffee Table Curriculum: 1 & 2 & 3. Enjoy!
Hometown homies Dagger Or a Dram rocked out at Bill's Bar on Landsdowne Street on Saturday. Right after a Red Sox Win against the Yankees. Good times. Great set! *Photos by Brooke Finke.
The Semi-Permanent 2009 Book. 220+ pages packed full of amazing artwork from all over the world." Curated by the good folks at Design Is Kinky (Australia). Rocking since 1998!
Earlier this week my friend Aris from AddicTEEd and I chopped it up about Glyph Cue. What does it mean? Is this the right time for a new brand? Who is involved? What is the perfect recipe for a tee? What's next? Glyph Cue - AddicTEEd Interview. While you are surfing around, swing through Aris's other websites: Streetgeist.com (Street Fashion Shots) and TheLabMag.com (Greek Urban Culture Mag). All three websites are bookmark worthy. Thanks bro!
My "Coincidence World" Exhibition at East London's Concrete Hermit is up for one more week. Swing through and check it out if you are in the area, and please pass along to friends and colleagues in London. There's lots to see, including the cut-paper originals of the entire Matthew Scissorhands Series, the crowd favorite. More Info.
My Painting Studio is in full effect this month. I've been working on my Hexagon Series, and Kate has been swinging through every couple days to rock on our Collabo Series. There are over 20 half-cooked paintings in my living room right now! Life is good. We're up to Round 4 on (10) 24x24 panels. Still rocking the atmospheric backgrounds, but fun to look at already. It's super fun to collaborate on paintings, especially with such a talented artist. These are going to rock!
