Steve giving an interview to Channel 7.

Brooklyn Boulders has officially opened. Although still its soft opening, it was quite a stir. As there were several First Ascent available dates preceding the opening, today marks the first official day for business! The GRAND OPENING will be on September 9, 2009! These are a few of the pics from the opening day and the days before. In the time BEFORE the opening, they were visited by several tv news media and a number of press media. I m not sure how many but can tell you, there was Channel 1, Channel 12 and Channel 7. I don t have cable or access to regular tv so check your local broadcasting or hey, go on line. Congratulations to Brooklyn Boulders!! The Grand Opening Day is gonna be OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

Aside from the wall painting mural, I ve recently gotten my hand.. er.. my brush into a can of one shot and got busy trying to make beautiful lines. I see a very long long road before the lives get straight, but hey, they are organic and I personally like the rough style, but I can t say that it is proper. anyway, I m not hung up on it and am super psyched on it... check it out and keep an eye out for more as the road to progression looks like bumpy and frustrating, it s still as fun as can be!

Brooklyn Boulders.

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.
