Design24: Limited Edition

Posted on April 3, 2012 | Leave a comment

I made a beat for this promo video featuring the homie Ben Knight and the work of other homie Ben Tour. From the writeup,

‘Launching on Friday April 13th at Vancouver’s Gallery FUKAI, Design24 finds its inaugural reception as a new bi-annual event featuring some of the West Coast’s most reputable emerging and established artists, graphic designers and illustrators. The exhibit features the work of 24 individual artists in limited edition (10/10) screen printed runs of their work. Design24 embraces the parallels between art and design/ designer and artist; paying respect to the duality of commercial design work, its artists and culture.’

Looks to be a great show featuring some very talented artists. Happy to contribute to the project in my own way, and I think this video turned out great. If you’re in Vancouver I’ll catch you at the opening.

4Q x REAL Skateboards

Max Schaaf and Oakland-based artist Chris Wright have teamed up to create two large special release REAL x 4Q decks and 300 limited velvet flocked posters.
Each poster signed by the artists, with 50 available through the 4Q website and 250 sent directly to skate shops from REAL. Poster is amazing, might need to cop one quick.

Ensoe, Andrew Young, and Scott Sueme at Art Basel 2011

Posted on January 7, 2012 | Leave a comment

Presented by Montana, Graffuturism, and Catalog Creative, here is a recap video of Scott Sueme and Andrew Young’s trip to Art Basel in Miami, putting in work on both the facilitated walls and the streets. These guys are two of my favourite artists in Vancouver right now, and Young has a solo show coming up at Catalog Gallery this week, full of his highly impressive realism works. Shot by Bikes and edited by Rob Squire, this vid also features an unreleased Garde + Eames track that didn’t make the album and just happened to suit the cut pretty well. Enjoy.

HBTV Presents FUCT – 20 Years of Erik Brunetti

Posted on December 19, 2011 | Leave a comment

HBTV recently put up this great short vid featuring interviews and footage of Erik Brunetti, as shot by David Gallardo during Bruntetti’s retrospective show at LA’s Union. From the writeup,

‘Concisely recapping 20 years of Erik Brunetti’s involvement with FUCT is difficult; the artist and graffiti writer founded the label in 1990 and has since attracted many people with re-interpreted cultural themes and iconography and above all else a strong opinion’

Nothing but respect and admiration for Brunetti and his many artistic outputs from the 84/85 camp, and this vid is definitely worth the watch.

John Copeland is a New York-based artist and motorcycle builder, as well as a member of White Knights in the House of Kolor, a Brooklyn-based motorcycle club and art collective with other members like Wes Lang and Jeffro Schaad. I became familiar with John through the motorcycle blog world, more specifically the WKITHOK blog. I am a big fan of his style, with lose/messy brush strokes with dark and interesting subject matter seen throughout. Here is a look at his recent works over the last year or so, keep reading for more of his paintings as well as some of his drawing…
