DEPH X CRAOLA X MAXX242 X MONTANA GOLD

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I finally got two of the most inspirational artists and great friends of mine, Greg “Craola” Simkins of IMSCARED, Deph of To Die For, and Maxx242 of Famous Stars and Straps and The Wild Ones together to collaborate with me on a production at the To Die For flagship store in Costa Mesa, Ca . Lets just say this is by far one of my best and favorite productions thus far. Montana GOLD paint flowed us several boxes of paint for the production. Montana is one of today’s premier paint leaders that sets the standards for the art movement of graffiti. Click on the images below to view the mural.

Painting the streets

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Last week i ventured down to Los Angeles to help out a great friend of mine CRAOLA work on a new production he was doing with Dabs and Myla, who by the way are great mates. Amazingness always seem to come from the land “Down unda”. Craola was painting some letters for his recently released line of clothing called, IMSCARED. Here are some of the pics.

Jeff Soto @ Miami Art Basel

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Got an email from an old friend today. His name is Jeff Soto. Not sure if many of you know this but Jeff has been one of my favorite artist since the late 90’s. He has played a HUGE inspiration roll in my art and has become a great person to know. He is one of the reasons ive learned so much about graffiti along with other artists such as Maxx242 and Steven Daily. I would not be BASHER if it werent for these guys today.. Thanks. Jeff sent me a picture of his recent painting he did at this years Miami Art Basel. Its amazing as always..
