Releasing a Mixtape

I’m going to be releasing a mixtape in the coming weeks of songs that have inspired and motivated me over the course of the last five years. These songs are/were essentially the soundtrack to my life and are still staples in my weekly musical rotation. Whether it was working late nights at a shitty retail job, waking up early to create art before work, or just daydreaming of making it big these songs pushed me to work harder, dream bigger, and make things happen. I’ll also be dropping artwork to accompany this mixtape. At the very least I hope that these songs will inspire and motivate you guys as much as they did me. Keep dreaming and go get the world and everything in it. 

Yeezus is not College Dropout

I think Yeezus is brilliant. Complex beat compositions, progressive forward thinking music, and the perfect anti-radio album. For anyone looking for College Dropout, this isn't it. That album is 10 years old and Ye' is 10 years older. Yeezus was made to push the limits of hip-hop. If you're not progressing as an artist and doing the same thing you were doing 10 years ago people have already forgotten about you. Kanye has already ruled the air waves, 20 million records sold and ruled the Grammys, 21 of them to be exact including 4 for College Dropout alone. More Grammys then any other rapper. He's been there and he's done that. If you're looking to "pop bottles" and "ball out" with your cronies this isn't the album for you. You can find those songs on just about any rapper's resume now-a-days, but Ye' isn't every rapper. He's Yeezus. It's no secret how influenced by Kanye I am both personally and artistically. I listen to his full catalog on repeat weekly.  With that being said.....

 

My one complaint is he should've kept the old album artwork. It was brilliant. Minimalism at its best. Marcel Duchamp and Dadaism at its best. Peep the old artwork below. The new artwork now features an orange square where the duck tape once was and nothing written. Also, if you haven't seen it yet peep my Kanye portrait below.

Mural at iSlide HQ

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to create a mural at the iSlide HQ using my signature vintage newspapers. iSlide allows users to upload their own artwork/text and create customs "slides" or flip-flops. Located outside of Boston, MA in an old refinished mill the iSlide HQ features beautiful exposed bricks, hardwood floors, and beams which is a perfect marriage with my vintage style. The wall is 12 ft x 12 ft and I utilized vintage Boston newspapers as well as more recent headlines including papers from when the Celtics and Red Sox won their championships. Here's a little teaser to hold you over before I drop the new video for this. #StayUpStayTuned

New Analog Piece, "Stay Up",

Here's the newest piece to my analog collection, "Stay Up." Was influenced by abstract geometric paintings and minimalism more specifically paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Matisse. I find this particular shape so fascinating and beautiful that it's actually tattooed on my arm. It's 36" x 40" x 2" with acrylic paint over vintage New York Times Newspaper and finished with 3 coats of matte varnish. You can cop' this beast on my Shop Page here.

 

Mural coming soon

Excited to announce that I'll be doing an indoor mural utilizing newspaper and cut-paper. The entire process is going to be documented and made into a really rad video. More details on this project coming soon. #StayUpStayTuned

New print, "Macklemore"

Here's my newest print, "Macklemore." When selecting a person to create a portrait of I look for someone that not only captivates an audience with their music, but also with their style and personality. I think Macklemore is a really unique and interesting cat. He embraces who he is and you can hear that in his music. I think his style is really interesting and super rad and it's an extension of his personality. Musically, his lyrical prowess speaks for itself. Everything I preach and believe in can be summed up by what makes Macklemore, well, Macklemore.  Peep the print below and enjoy. You can pick it up on the Shop Page here.
