This coming thursday, Feburary 11th I would be participating in the 3rd Annual Bullets & Love Art Show at Fresthetic. It’s my first time partaking in the Bullets and Love show and I’m pretty excited about it. The task was to customize half body mannequins with the theme “Bullets & Love” in mind.  And I have to say, that I’m very content with my final result.  Some come thru and check it out.

Red “What is that, Velvet?” Cupcakes and Sangria By E.SOTO

About two weeks ago I posted a couple of pictures from an art exhibit I attended of Doze Green’s latest work.  The good folks at Friends We Love got a hold of Doze putting the finishing touches before his debut at Jonathan Levine Gallery.  Check out the clip, it gives you a small glimpse to Doze’s method.

The Peralta Project/Republica “SOA” Sunglasses got  great product placement on the season premiere of Nip Tuck.  Julian McMahon aka Dr. Christian Troy is seen in various scenes sporting the specs in great fashion. They definitely look great on him.

and this is one of the images that came up.  I know the hood love’s McDonald’s but this takes the cake.

This weekend I got to feast my vision with some phenomenal eye candy at the opening of Doze Green and Josh Keyes exhibit at Jonathan Levine Gallery.  I highly recommend a visit.  Below are pics of some of my favorite pieces of the show.

Artist Nick Gentry thought of a creative way to recycle his old Floppy discs and cassette tapes. This is Amazing! Check out more of his work here.

Today on my subway ride home, the 1 train stalled for a few minutes between 86st and 96st stations.  In the middle of those two station there’s an old 96st station where for years Graff writers hit up.  While awaiting the train to move forward I notice this piece by Serf.  It looked so crisp and I liked the way the columns broke up the words so I wanted to capture what I saw with a photo. So I grabbed my camera(which I try to carry with me all the time) from my bag and this is what I got instead.

My friend Kalissa would finally be launching her  Jewelry line Hyper Ghetto this coming friday.

Hyper Ghetto began when Kalissa Cherish set out to photo document life in America’s hardest hit economy, Detroit MI. Kalissa expresses her subjects as no less than modern icons, heroes, warriors and survivors. Individuals who have maintained energy amongst rapidly declining social services, omni-present violence, economic in formalization and hyper-incarceration, all conditions of a hyperghetto. Kalissa’s interest in street culture became evident in her jewelry design, as she began creating handmade silver medallions and even taught herself how to make grillz. In close examination of a culture she was often criticized for celebrating, Kalissa took social responsibility by intertwining her photography and jewelry talents to create Bling Back, a movement designed for the next generation.

Beginning in January 2010, Hyper Ghetto’s Bling Back Movement will be donating jewelry proceeds to help fund community proposed projects within a social design firm, Live With Design. Live With Design establishes a place to collaborate on ideas, learn entrepreneur skills and act on social improvement. By partnering with Live With Design, Hyper Ghetto’s Bling Back Movement aims to transform the excessive bling culture with a sustainable one, based on community and collaboration.

Join the Hyper Ghetto Launching Party Friday, January 15^th at Post Factory. Post Factory, a film editing studio in New York Cities West Village, is located on the fourth floor of 233 Spring Street, NY, NY 10013. Gallery viewing is from 7pm-9pm, with an after party from 9pm-12am.

My homie Toofly always got something up her sleeve. If it’s not Jewlery, mini sketch book or limited Ray Ban sunglasses it’s a variety of collabo’s with Kid Robot. This time around is the Female Kidrobot Dunny Series. The first of it’s kind, Toofly is one of the 18 prominent female artist chosen to for the the newest Dunny series.  I definitely have to add this one to my collection of Toofly toys.
