NEW GHOSTFACE

First OB4CL2, now this 3 weeks later! The new Ghostface album, 'Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry' dropped yesterday. If you haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, let me warn you, it's not your typical Ghost album. This is album has a more r&b feel to it but it's still DOPE. I've only listened to it once so far, but I like what I heard. True Ghost fans will respect his creativity & enjoy this. Peep track 8 'Guest House' with Fabolous.

NEW PAINTINGS!!!

During New York Fashion Week (9-16-09),I was asked to be apart of an event called 'Pop Is Dead' in SoHo. I was asked to paint something that showed how Hip-Hop culture is commercialiazed or something along those lines. My first idea was to paint Kanye. He's such a talented artist & a trendsetter. So much, that if he wore something ridiculous ,like a Rick James leather jacket with tassels or a Mr. T feather ear ring, people would probably go out and immitate it. Basically showing that people are influenced by media,television,internet, etc.


My second painting, was dedicated to how mainstream rap can be so fake/Hollywood. I chose to paint Rick Ross for this one. I painted him because he made a name for himself portraying to be the REAL Rick Ross. The REAL 'Freeway' Ricky Ross, made millions of dollars selling cocaine during the 1980's & is in prison today. Since he always raps about selling Coke, I figured I'd do a parody of his whole persona. ENJOY.

GOING BACK TO SNOW BEACH...

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time & get all the good stuff I missed out on or couldn't afford growing up. Here's something I really wish I had. The Ralph Lauren Polo Snow Beach jacket. When the 'Can It Be All So Simple' video came out in summeer '94 & I saw Raekwon wearing the Snow Beach jacket, I said "ohhhh shit!!!". Flash forward 15 years later, I still don't have it,lol, but I still want it. Well, it's still out there, but @ a price of $2,000+!!!!!!

iSkin and TTK Team Up for One-of-a-Kind Online Event!

MARK YOUR CALENDER PEOPLE: this Thursday (September 17) at 9pm EDT, iSkin will be teaming up with world renowned custom sneaker artist TTK . It’s a special online event that you don’t want to miss!

TTK has been customizing sneakers for the “Who’s Who” of NYC since 2004. And since iSkin is delivering a dose of cool, sexy, sophisticated style to the savvy citizens here at New York Fashion Week, we knew that connecting with TTK was a perfect fit – especially since we’re gearing up to launch our new line of artist-inspired digital accessory bags (code name: Artisan).

Thursday’s special event will be an online party, where visitors will be able to watch TTK in action. You’ll see art come alive in a way that you’ll never forget! And best of all, it’s an interactive session, which means you can ask TTK and iSkin questions and learn more about us. This kind of forum helps us get to know you better, and understand what you want to see from us in the future.

FAKE TTK SNEAKERS ?! WHAT THE.....

While surfing the web, I came across bootleg versions of my work. Yes! Bootleg TTK's are out there for the AMAZING price of $79.99 or less!!!! I've ran into a guy a week ago that had on a fake pair of my Submerged Nostalgia .5 dunks(pictured below). For the record, every pair that I've ever done has been a hand painted 1 of 1 creation by me. So if you ever come across a website or someone, & they have various size's of TTK sneakers available.......yes, it's FAAAAKKKKKKEEEEE!!!! If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

SONG OF THE DAY

Today I feel like taking it back to summer 1998, Ghostface Killah- "Cobra Cluth". This song was on the Wu-Tang presents The Swarm compilation. Truthfully, I didn't know there was a video for this song. When I purchased the Supreme Clientele c.d. ,the day it was released, it came with a Ghostface VHS tape(lol) with this video on it. With that being said, Cobra Clutch ladies & gents...
