Painting I Just Finished:
I started this thing like 3 months ago, finally got around to puttin' the finishing touches on it.
Specs: 32"x40" acrylic/opaque/gesso on masonite with 1"x3" frame
Detail:
Pictures do no justice to the contrast of colors.
For real though, PLEASE tell me your honest opinions. Because personally, I am never satisfied with the stuff I paint, so you all have a chance to give an opinion that I will actually care about.
Let the praise/hate begin.

Album Cover Of The Day:
While cruising the local flea market a couple Subdays back I stumbled across this gem in a stack of mariachi and techno records.
As of yet, I haven't listened to it (my turntables currently reside at Young Smalls' house) but, in my mind, judging by the cover alone, this HAS to be a classic.
Seriously, have you seen a better play on words in photo form in your life? I think not.
It was a fairly uneventful weekend.
Posts will be short and limited this week. There are HUGE thangs poppin. Currently, I can't go into detail, but just know, power moves are in the works.
On top of that, there is a cornhole tournament this coming Sunday (April 5, 2009) and I gotta get into fightin' shape, I need the scratch after Oklahoma shit the fuckin bed and cost me the rent money.
People always ask me, "how can you handle the stress of gambling for your income?" My response is simple, ice water in the veins.

New BAMA Logos:
Sunday afternoon I went over to the homie Sam's house. Sam will serve you suckers somethin' serious on that illustrator/photoshop tip.
Anyways, I posted that picture of the Obama X Cubs logo a few weeks ago. I had been tryin to get Sam to flip it for me since. We finally linked up and this was the end result. Can't say that it is neccessarily FINAL, but it's a really good start...
So after I left, Sam put together a few more ideas and e-mailed them to me this morning...
So, my question to the valued readers is simple, What do you think? Are these T's that you would wear? Remember, they will be in different colorways, black is just the default color in illustrator...
Hit me with your opinions!!

Lazy As Fuck:
Still hungover. Can't keep my eyes open. Took a little too much "medication" this morning and then again this afternoon. My throat hurts from goin' buck at the show. Therefore, this is all you're getting today. Back tomorrow with lots of classic Throwback Thursday goodies. Pictures and videos from DraftKlick performance at the Starline should be up by Friday.
For your viewing pleasure, this is a video of Alex Pardee doing a painting in fast motion. The guy is seriously unreal. I would go so far as to say he's prolly my favorite painter in the game right now...

One of the illest videos ive ever seen
This is called graffiti animation. This particular video was done by a cat named BLU, and he gets my vote for animated short film of the decade. This shit is seriously amazing, ive watched it 4 times now and want more.
This is just an introduction to BLU, if you are into graffiti/abstact/modern art, take some time and youtube BLU you will not be disappointed.
