FREEDOM aka THE SUICIDE MACHINE

Drop-shifted torque, rocketed out of control.
LedZeppelinBlackFlagCircleJerksAC/DCTheExploited
shake the vinyl and the metal.
My colors blur and sear you eyes.
Those PIGS don't even know I exist, I'm so far gone.
I'm a maker of freedom.
An outlaw bred in a concrete box.

Quick stops sharpen my mind into a weapon.
I make your pencils into knives.
Sheer genius.
Educated by the best spritual felons, schooled by fools.
See, I keep touched up with Sarté & Deleuze.
A little bit of Peter Lambourne Wilson sleeping with Angela Gossow.

This is a rock-n-roll beat created by NO ONE.
Don't even try to claim it.

Crash, hit and run the guardrail.
The sparks blast off Raybans.
Pure electric violence.
Cop cars explode into star-dusted voids.
The horses run, bullets fly.
I'm running fast and hard.
You'll never catch me.

I'm BillyTheKidDelgadoCeroSonnyBargerDarbyCrash.
I'm the keeper of rituals creating diamonds in the sky.
Don't even try to come close....
I'll throw magical pentagrams in the soil of your leaders.

I own this property.
No one can take it.
I am the one they call the LAW and you have called LAWLESSNESS.
I will rise above.

Written for PHILOSOPHY 'ZINE, No.4

NSW SPRING / SUMMER 09...Aqua. Terra.
Creative Direction for NIKE's NSW Spring/Summer 2009 line. Shot completely underwater...

BONEYARDS....Done.
Boneyards is a collaboration of friends from Tokyo to Los Angeles, inspired by a real geographic location by way of a mythical time & place.
This is the best of the many worlds we comfortably move through out and intersect. The ocean, the streets. Lowriders, bombs, motorcycles.
Skating, surfing. Oldies, Punk Rock. High art, Low art. Defiantly undefined, we create freedom by cutting thru the fences THEY have given us to live behind.
We want more. (click image for more)

The NIKE Glide...
is a shoe I helped develop and design for the line I was doing while at NIKE. It just dropped into retail.
I spotted these at UNDEFEATED. It's clean lines, tuck & roll toe and simple materials scream Los Angeles,
NWA and black STARTER jackets.

Olafur Eliasson....Your Black Horizon
I 've been studying retail spaces and environmental executions for some upcoming projects.
I came across Olafur's work. The use of space and light are gorgeous.
The thought and scale of the work is inspiring.

JUXTAPOZ INTERVIEW....
I am honored to have an interview along with images of my paintings in the new Juxtapoz. My sis Edie did the interview...
I also designed a Juxtapoz tshirt that will be released in the mag soon. What the hell is going on..?

DEATHTRAPS...
My friend Trevelen at SUPERCO CUSTOMS just won Discovery Channel's Biker Buildoff.
He'll have an interview in an upcoming print version of HONEYEE.COM.
Also, a bunch of us, including Mister Cartoon, did a series of SuperCo Tshirts coming soon...when Trev?

THE PLACE OF IMMANENCE....
In progress, a group of new work based on my writings. Gouache, ink on watercolor paper.

PRODUCT DESIGN....
The footwear designs I worked on for NIKE are begining to appear pre/post marketplace.
Below is an example, which has already been posted on HYPEBEAST. Not certain on the drop date.
This shoe is (1) in a collection inspired by Mexican Baseball.

On recent trips to Mexico, I went to the games. The crowd is wild, it isn't like here in the States.
Crazy enough to inspire creation.

HANDSTYLES....
I look at alot of throw ups. Write some and study the art, esp. while studying tattooing along with typography.
This hand style, from a wall in a neighborhood here in LA, is amazing. Most can't read it or even know the neighborhood.

WORKING...
of these paintings, The Tianguis, Mexico City for an upcoming show. I want paintings clear, simple, veiled with complexity.
Complex Simplicity is the term I like. More info on the show as things develop. (click image for more)
