ALERT

Yesterday I met a graffiti icon who was a big influence for me growing up. ALERT 5av/KBN was one of these guys who was sort of a legend in Boston. In my opinion, his work inspired a generation of writers across the country. I commissioned him to create a small painting, which he gave me yesterday. We hung out and played pool and it was super interesting and cool.

ABRACADABRA!

One of my favorite artist/designer/friends Alvaro Ilizarbe, has a show that opened in San Francisco this past Friday at the Medicine Agency. It will run for a little while, so if you're in the Bay Area, check up on it. He makes amazing work.

NEW HEATHEN

Genevan Heathen - Number One (feat. Chaz Jankel) (directed by Mattfoley) from Genevan Heathen on Vimeo.

And as a bonus, be sure to download Make the Move a new track from my homeboy The Genevan Heathen feat. L.E.D, produced by Mattfoley. This track reminds me of the good old days in Miami :))

Saber Buffed

SABER'S LA River piece, which I found on google earth back in '06, was recently buffed. Check out the pictures HERE. There are so many stories about this piece, from how long it took SABER to paint it, to the time when JA and FOE ragged it out a few years back over beef. It will live on as the stuff of legends.
