I recently did an installation piece at Randy Ruphio Panado new crib up in LA.  Randy the proud owner of the new paintings named his room "The Shark Tank," as it fit perfect with the theme.

Basically the paintings are titled "Battle LA."  I think if you look at the art, you'll see all the subliminal messages lol.  I'd break it down for you, but it's a new year and I promised myself to keep it positive hahahaaaa!   The paintings consist of two 3 x 4 foot canvas's and one 1.5 x 3 footer.  What made this installation different was that we painted the whole room and gave it a new vibe.  Also as a bonus and something new that I've been playing with, I took the art off the canvas.  Although you can't really see them in the photo, I painted the same fishes that were in the canvas, onto his bedroom wall.  The illusion would be that the fishes have swam on and off of the canvas:)

Adding the detailed fishes

One room down!  Time for room two!!!

I designed a shirt for Hawaii’s premiere dance studio… Hypersquad.   If you don’t already know, now you know!  Basically they’ve been killing the scene locally, nationally and internationally since 1996.

Among their most recent accomplishments are, putting Hawaii on the map with Hype 50 on Americas Best Dance Crew, Winning 1^st at the 2011 Hawaii WOD and the Champions of Champions World of Dance LA, and yes that was Lil Demon, Shasha and Josh who were all guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

It’s always a pleasure working with them and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for 2012.

Finally got my hands on one of these shirts.  Much respect to my long time Uso Fili, for doing big things.  It's always nice to see the fellow homies perusing their dreams and getting their hustle on.  First it was SKRAP Magazine, now he's taking on the apparel game.  Whats next?!!!
Be sure to support his line Poly Love.  Trust me on this one...if you see it, grab it!  These shirts are a hot ticket back in the islands!

As mentioned in so many of my blogs before, here it is… Phormula   This LA based brand is owned/designed by the homie JMart.  Recently I got down on a collaboration project, which included and John Martinez (JMART), and myself.  Wanting to collaborate together for a few years now, I’m happy that we finally pulled the trigger.  I found smashing his hot chicks and my illustrations together was a fun and perfect mix.  Hopefully the demand of these shirts is out the roof and a start of just a taste of what’s to come.

Phormula can be found at retailers such as Metropark, The Closet, Dwn Twn, True, Strong Hold, Studio 2nd, Club Urban, Suteki, Razor, Alter Ego...

I designed these Mokka watches right before I left my last job.  Unfortunately these 4 images is the closest I'll come to owning them, as I never saw production.  Hopefully some where down the road I can reconnect with the company and design more watches.
