Portrait shots by my sister Pam Inks. Last days at home listening to our favorite tunes as she clicks away on her hipstamatic iphone app…

Gonna miss this apartment when I move in a few months;( Loved it here…

The busy bee season is kicking in! I hope I make it, specially now that I have like no time:( This past weekend I had an opportunity to rock a little 5min video with the FRIENDS WE LOVE youth team attending the New Design H.S aka Seward Park H.S. They did so great! The weather was sweet, the kids rocked the interview, and I got a chance to do paint a little something something. It’s days like this that make me confident the next generation will be alright. Especially with folks who take the time to give back to their communities. Love you guys! THANK YOU:)

When we were all done, I got a chance to walk around and scope out this place. WOW. This rooftop is an artist heaven…

The size of this place is crazy!!! I couldn’t wait to come back and spend an entire day re-doing my quick little throwie…

Voila! Not done yet but it’s getting there. Spent a whole afternoon completely zoned out on this piece and it felt great! I haven’t painted in solo mode in years. It was bliss, and definitely something I need to do more often. Yay! painting season has officially begun folks. Shout out to everyone who’s doing a killer job up there; WANE, BOUNCE, TRIXER, CERN, CECE, ERIN YOSHI, and MARTHALICIA. It was so good to see you guys.  Last but not least the man behind this dope place; Jessie Pais, your the man! It’s people like you who make a huge difference in all our lives. Thank you for helping to carve out a little piece of this city for all of us to enjoy. As you can see I’m really excited about this whole thing, and even more so now that their third annual event is coming up. Mark your calendars! Saturday May 8th ROOFTOP LEGENDS opens it’s doors to the public. You don’t want to miss it. Info below…

There’s so much you can do with paper dolls! hmmm….yea dunno…then again I only have a week left, and leaving town for the Holidays. This may just be it:( Maybe I can find a dope decorative frame in a thrift shop or something,…Anyway stay tuned. More details after the jump!

Painting and drawing during these long winter nights is mad therapeutic…

“Left in Silence”

Sneeky Peek! Been working on my boys album for a a bit this month and it’s almost done! It’s coming out dope…

more after the JUMP!

Inking away at some new T’ concepts I have coming up for a TOOFLY/UPPER PLAYGROUND line. I feel like I’ve been channeling some dope energy in the last few weeks, and it’s speaking an immense universe to me. The process of making original art off the dome is pure magic. Tapping into the “zone” doesn’t come often if your not in tune, or focused. You gotta flow when it comes, and close yourself off from all distractions if your about it about it…

process of illumination…

Listening to Pink Floyd helps my travelz into the universe;)

Been working on a bunch of illustration T designs this month. Happy I got back into drawing, it had been a serious minute since I pulled out the pencil and paper. My first batch is done, and I’m def on my new flow. It’s been there…slowly unraveling until I was ready to wake up and see what it all meant. Remnants of it now embedded forever on plastic, fabric, and paper. It’s finally making sense! I’m pretty damn excited!!! gotta grind…

In the meantime here’s a sneaky peek of “transform time” an illustration t-shirt design for METHODS ” FALL 09′ line. Stay tuned…
