No commentsCASSIOPEIA 8.23.08
Saturday couldn’t have been a better day to paint. We headed over to the terrain where the Cassiopeia is located. I’m not really sure what this spot is called but it’s a huge urban playground for adults and grownup kids in the heart of Friedrichshain. The area has three to four different club locations, a burnt down building with mad graff, an exhibition venue, a huge indoor Skate Park, a beer garden and the highest climbing tower in Berlin. Seemed like this place was an abandoned dump but the folks there have been cleaning it up and keeping it funky. Love it when shit looks griddy…
I went all out on this one…surface was great, location was awesome, and the weather couldn’t have been better ..all we needed was some rice & beans for lunch!
No commentsLOVE TO BE BACK IN NY!
Yay finally back home! OMG I feel like I have been away for months!!! So happy to be back in NY there’s just not place like it man. Berlin was an interesting city…”hardcore” and “rough”. A lot more graff there, than here. Puts us to shame:( Places and spaces are endless its no wonder it’s thriving on the streets. I enjoyed the huge ass blockbusters on the street and rooftops. Kind of resembled their environment a bit. “blocky” residential buildings that went on forever with hardly any space in between them. Forming huge WALLS carved out throughout the city like NY projects only european style, modern, and pretty. Yeo what was most odd was that I saw nooooo homeless or spanish people there? It was a lil weird and a bit uncomfortable at times but because we were rolling united nations style most of the time we were good;) The slow down pase was nice, bikes are everywhere, and their transportation system really smooth. Hardly no need to hop the metro! Here some flicks of our first days I’m backed up for days but will add more soon…
Walls and walls, and walls of buildings…

No commentsFELIZ CUMPLEAĆOS VEE!
this weekend we celebrated our homie’s cumplaƱos with some good ass BBQ food, and a walk through the west side of Central Park. The weather couldn’t have been better, y la compania even more so;) We got laughs for days when we get together. Gotta enjoy the good people around you any chance you get. Now we’re gonna get ready for the lake trip! Last month of summer folks enjoy it while it’s still here!!!
No commentsSKIN-IT!
So yeah…I worked on this $ gig for T-Mobile last night in the Lower (LES). I never expected this sort of event to be dead center in our peoples hood. Puerto Rican flags in the summer breeze, a bunch of triple X T’s drying on the firescapes, and mami’s plants blooming with flowers. Then again all them condos are creeping in everywhere you look making it feel “cool” to host this type of establishment on this side of town. Sigh…New York an ever changing landscape. So anyway, I didn’t really know what to expect, I was just ready to throw down, collect my dough, and call it a night. I get there and I was like WORD! set up was tight. I dig professionalism, that’s corporate $ for ya. Damn the food was off the hook! shumai, noodle soups, spring rolls, dumplings, yum! big ups to the caterers for hooking up my dinner for the evening. Peeps rolled thru, and got first dibs on all the free shit; food, drinks, sidekicks, custom skatedecks, Kidrobot Munny’s, T-Shirts, and a time to shine on the green screen. That was a lot of fun actually. Shout out the fellas who put on an excellent freestyle dance sequence just for fun. That shit was GREAT!!! Vee and I were rolling…Okay folks just felt like writing more than usual today. Here’s the T-Mobile / Skin-It! action in full effect…
Gotta save that loot for Berlin baby!
