Artworks Magazine article

Senior Editor Ben Basby interviewed a month back and it's been released online. It will be on newstands by the end of the week. In the mean time the After Midnight series has a new singer that just came on stage and a solo show has been scheduled for September this year. Peace!

And something way off topic. I just bought a nice little butcher block for my kitchen. I can't believe how expensive they can get. I found a good deal on Amazon. Why do I mention this? I want to be a better cook! So watch out! home made pesto, fish fillets... it's on!

Def Con 5 DJ's back at it again Sucka-Free style

This Friday, June 12th, the Def Con 5 DJs will be back rockin it at the Sucka Free Hip Hop Party at Tiger Bar (317 NW Broadway). DJ Wicked (the host of this whole shindig) is bringing his partners in crime DJ Deff Ro and DJ Mighty Moves to set it off with some dope old school and underground hip hop cuts. Starts at 10pm. Only 3 bucks. As always, No Suckas Allowed.

i keep moving

Greetings peeps,
Mighty just got me matrixed in to the blog. I've been working away on the last video installment of the After Midnight series.
so without further delay here it is:

With each video I'm learning more and more of video post production. All the city scenes are shot by me!

There's a lot going on right now. I'll be seeing Badu tomorrow at the Nokia Theatre here in LA. And I'll be checking her out at the after party. I'll also be working on an album cover for the heiroglyphics crew. That project is a joint effort between me and a marketing team. We'll be trading our skills to further each others projects. the PR people will be putting together a gallery show for me in LA, highlighting the After Midnight Series.

My head is overwhelmed with tasks and to-do's. There's a lot of growing that I've done since AMS took place. It's a blessing and a headache all at the same time. But what would I be doing if this wasn't going on? yeah I would be painting...but heading in a direction that has infinite potential is something that I haven't experienced before.

Peace!
