inner/outer

 i recently participated in a program that is illustrating each week of the year in news and current events. they are collecting them all into a  book at the end of the year. my week was last week and i made this drawing about television interviews, revelaing your inner self, and the weirdness and marketing strategies of selling reality. my take anyway. here it is!

the colors and the shapes and the big wall and the wood of it

just completed a big old mural deal out in california usa
my buddy chris assisted in the madness and wood work
cut-outs and cosmics
starry eve vs snowy globe
let's take a look:
 day one was all scissor lift classes, finding parking, eating lunch and hoop jumping so it wasn't until day two that i was able to put brush to wall. the beginnings of dudes.
 chris in his element shape-making and wood-smoothing
 shapes come in colors now
 and they wait patiently
 evolutions and the wall hanging begins
 three layers of it
 finishing touches and third coats
 from below the comet scene
 i forgot to take a lot of photos, i hope somebody got some good ones
 starry section
around the corner and down
4 days of busting and hanging and laughing and sleeping
and at the end we have this thing
but better yet on to the next thing
peace

limpy

if i could go back in time to 1990-ish i would do a couple things first:
-i would go eat at fast patties, a hamburger place taht used to be over by the mall
-i would go to n-orbit and buy a whole bunch of limpies pants and bring them back to the future, like blue jeans to russia in the reagan 80s

this is kind of making fun of stussy, right? right?

those just look really comfy, man. a guy could really move in those.
i used to see ron allen all the time at the berkeley park and he's still got it, man. is it because of the years he spent in the free-flowing fabric of these stylish pants?
 i would wear these every day. believe it. i just want some leg comfort in my life.

we are all frosty

one time my mom came to pick me up from n-orbit and instead of waiting in the car like she was supposed to she cruised into the shop and started eyeing up the limpies section, and then she bought a pair for herself, and her only, i was both impressed and embarrassed. impressed because she was really going for it, surrounded by a bunch of dumb skate kids. embarrassed because my mom was going to be wearing pants with big stylized wang on the back pocket, which i never had the heart to tell her about. and she wore those things every weekend. 
i wonder if she still has them?
