Blog entry May 4th, 2013. This kind of thing still blows my mind...

"To Whom it May Concern;
I am a 3rd grade teacher in Idaho. We are studying art and great artists. Each of my students pick an artist that interests them to do a research project on. The students find information about their chosen artist and then using the information that they gather, they "become" the artist in our Great Artist Museum. We then present this performance piece to my students' parents and guests. One of my students has chosen you as their great artist. I was wondering if he could contact you to ask you questions as we are having a hard time finding information on Ewok's life for the timeline piece of his project.
Thank you for your help.
Andrea Snow"

In my mind, I'm still just a punk ass who grew up listenin' to rap, terrorizing rush hour traffic on a skateboard after school with a bunch of other punks till it was time to go home...   To think that drawing funny pictures and painting them on other people's property over and over until people paid me to do it, could some day impact the youth is still crazy to me.   That either says a lot about my determination, or more about today's youth.  ha!

BLOG ENTRY APRIL 20,2013

My extended family on the west coast livin that life. Proud of you guys, especially Luigi. This video is based on something in the Bboy world that is usually frowned upon, because it breaks up the idea of what a crew is supposed to be.. But sometimes you have a bond with friends that aren;t in your crew, so in this situation 3 friends made up a crew based on each of their own crews... SKILLMETHODZ, BOOGIE BRATS and RENEGADES became SKILL BRATS RENEGADES and they entered the biggest battle in the United States and won and ended up going to Japan for the finals and winning that. Check the video, it's really inspiring for me. I hope you enjoy it. Not a lot of people realize I've been a real Bboy for more years of my life than I've been writing Graffiti, I kept the lifestyles separate as best as I could to not tip off any eager photo types to shoot pics of me while getting down and it worked for years. Unfortunately I had to hang up my shelltoes and move on, due to at the time what I felt was losing the passion for the dance as well as just getting hurt more and more as I got older, the recovery time taking longer and of course my crew SKILLMETHODZ basically all relocated to Hollywood to destroy the industry. So when I see these kinds of videos it definitely is bitter sweet, but I live through my crew now so it's all good.....

Blog entry April 18, 2013 #NKOTB

So I did a pretty funny illustration for Valentine's day of Adventure Time Characters and switch out some identities, that sparked a commission offered from a collector of mine who's wife is a big New Kids fan, never in my life would I ever expect to do something like this so I jumped on the idea, not because of the money ( never hurts) but because NO ONE would ever expect to see it done by me. And those are the things I love to do... So above is the end result, I had to pic references from a certain period of their career, obviously they went thru a young kid phase and now they're doing a come back so they're on the older side in pictures.  I was informed her favorite in the band was Donnie, so I made sure he was in the middle, a bit more stylized than the rest and he was holding one of these "Teeny Bopper" mags autographed to MAE.

Check the full piece in the ILLUSTRATION section.  Stay tuned for more wacky shit as I am working on about 8 other commission pieces currently.  And feel free to drop me a line if you think youre interested in a piece. In regards to turn around time you would be much better off picking up something that is already painted in my opinion because I painted it purely for the love.... When someone says " I have $5,000...  the entire time Im painting it and listenin' to music in my studio relaxing, its annoying to keep hearing that money in my head.... there's a fun side to doing a new piece with a new idea, but I prefer not to be thinking about dollars when Im in the creative place....

here's a couple other pics I had on the camera.... Check it out... more to come later
