130824. Wall of Fame. 2013

Wall of Fame in uptown was hosting a painting grafitti event of all types writers. I m not reporting this to name all those involved or talk about graf or debate about anything. I happen to go up because a fellow wall/therapist, Maxx Moses was there, getting involved and sharing his heart, art and expression. It was a cool family vibe with dudes from ZULU NATION and BLACK SPADES representing. I like the dragon by Topaz and well, all the walls were still being worked on. There ws some hoop shooting, photo ops and general chill out vibe happening.
Pretty much after hanging for a minute, my son and I skated down to Union Square from uptown. Thats how we roll.
On the way down, there ws some Comic Con esque carnival gathering at central park west.
Further south at Madison Park, there ws some cool rope art installation.
There are people expressing themselves everywhere.
I also know for a fact... in brooklyn, Afro-Punk is going down.

110804. Snacky and Mike Ming

Snacky is an awesome little dig that serves up a nice asian affair tapas on Grand Street in cozy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. Its an establishment that has spent over ten years being the hip bar/restaurant before it was hipster-burg.




When the owner, Sandy Pei, decided to renovate the look, she honored me with a call to do up the roll gate box. I thought it would be appropriate to hit it with the red and gold, chinese festivity colors, and keep the look free-stripped and abstract.
It was a beautiful day to paint the outside and a great photographer friend of mine, Yuri Shibuya, came through on her bicycletta and took some flicks before she went off on her next adventure.. oh, the travelling photographer.





Snacky is located 187 Grand Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Yuri Shibuya is located where ever she pleases, camera in tow and ready to
shoot whatever she pleases.

It s been a minute since I ve dropped out of communications and now I m here to report on a project I ve been working on the past couple weeks. I ve been at 3rd avenue and Degraw at the old brooklyn Daily News Building that is now being transformed into the biggest, greatest, bad-est, funkiest, artiest... (add your own adjective with -est) and you get the idea that this one is gonna CRUSH any climbing gym as one ill activity theme park. Check out the flicks of the painted walls gracing the gym so far.. much much more to come.
