SoLive! Arts Movement (and Fly Lady Di)

Since the beginning of 2008, SoLive! Arts Movement agreed to sponsor me as an artist. As my sponsors, they provide me with all of my art materials that I need for all of my live events, as well assist me with online promotions. By sponsoring me, they have enabled me to focus more on what I will be painting, rather than what I need to paint with. They have been nothing but professional, bright spirited and positive motivation for me and what I do, and I have got nothing but love for them. Also, whenever a work of mine is sold, a portion of it goes to SoLive! -- so whenever you are purchasing my work, you are also contributing to an amazing organization.







Come meet them at the FRESH PRODUCE event next Wednesday May 7th at GALLERY BAR (for more info, see flyer on my page). SoLive! will be running my merch table with my Generation Dshirts that they helped me supply.








I look forward to our continued success...!

R.I.P. WAYNE FROST

Were a little late on this, but we felt it was necessary to show respect to a true pioneer of this Hip Hop culture we love so much.



Wayne Frost, a hip-hop pioneer known as Frosty Freeze who helped inspire a worldwide break-dancing craze in the early 1980s as a member of the influential group Rock Steady Crew, died on Thursday April 3rd in Manhattan. He was 44.

NEIGHBORHOOD/THE HIDEOUT 10th Anniversary T's & Jacket

The Hideout is a Japanese streetware boutique. The site features alot of "BBC" and "NEIGHBORHOOD" clothing. For the tenth anniversary of NEIGHBORHOOD and THE HIDEOUT working together they did some special pieces. Check it out, we have just approached them as a sponsor for the show.



From the site:
"10 years ago, Hit and Run opened on Upper James Street in London. A first of its kind outside of Japan, the store evolved through the years to become The Hideout you know today.

To commemorate our 10th anniversary, The Hideout has teamed up with one of our long-time partners, Neighborhood, to release a set of products consisting of a jacket and two t-shirts."

Graffiti Artist "KOOR" showing in NYC

KOOR "BACK TO THE ROOTS" (NYC)
Through April 15th

Chuck "KOOR aka KOOL KOOR" Hargrove started writing graffiti in the south Bronx in 1976. After participating in virtually every important exhibition on Graffiti Art in New York City his dynamic artwork took him on a journey exhibiting in galleries and museums around the world. You can find KOOR in famous collections such as The Metropolitan Museum, Chicago Renaissance Society, The Butler Museum, Wihelm Hack Museum in Germany, The Groninger Museum in the Netherlands and an impressive list of others. Today gallery 151 is pleased to welcome KOOR back for his first solo exhibition in NYC since over two decades. Titled "Back to the Roots" KOOR is reflecting on the symbolism and architecture in his artwork, taking us on a journey into the past then straight into the future. Exhibition runs from 1 through 14 April

Gallery 151
151 Wooster St., 2nd Floor (off Houston Street)
New York, N.Y. 10012
Please call Gallery for exhibit hours at 212-375-0151
1 train to Houston Street, C and E to Spring Street, R and W to Prince Street.

About KOOR's ART

KOOR creates artwork that makes us feel that life as we know it is not real at all, there lies several other levels of reality that we choose not to see. Each reality tragically effecting another. We feel this because we can see that other side in his artwork. Tension of his every day struggle to exist in this world becomes clear in the reality of his artwork. Architectural structures bend and twist like strands of nerves in human anatomy, Like the mind fighting to calculate a difficult equation. The use of robotic forms reminds us that there is still a link to a our reality. Like in the works of Mobeus we discover deep transforming perspectives in KOOR's drawings relaying to us that even these new worlds are not yet fully defined. It is here that we find the key to the power of KOOR's work. The rules are being made along the way. However definite they may be, even the artist has to play by them. The longer we look the more it all comes together. We are discovering frame by frame the projections of the meaning of life as it radiates on the surfaces of another reality. A reality where we want to return to, or one where we very well may belong.

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!

I got TOO much feedback from people asking how they can attend these amazing live art events, specifically "ART BATTLES". Well now is your chance to be apart of a movement that will without a doubt make history. Fly Lady Di herself will be there battling for her crown. Come support not only a great artist who is doing it on her own but the movement of LIVE ARTS in NYC.

FLY LADY DI @ TALIB KWELI PARTY
