Coffe Table Status

There are a slew of great hardback books dropping these days, perfect for those collectors on your holiday gift list or just resting on your coffee table. A couple of things that struck me was a new book on vinyl figures which my cousin, aerosol artist and vinyl toy make East 3 is in called "I Am Plastic Too".

The other thing that caught my attention was A Bathing Apes founder Nigo(who is a collector of all things fresh)and has been a devoted book enthusiast for many years has a pop up book store opening soon. Running for a limited period from December 15, 2010 to January 30, 2011 the shop will be devoted to books on design, culture, and art, with speculations on a host of the rarest books on the subjects published in the early 90’s from NIGO’s own personal collection.

Dunny wit the munny!

The original custom designed Dunny figure used for the flyer to promote my $2 Soul Show podcast. Notice the real $2 Bills cut and pasted over the Dunny and how the $2's make the eyes.

Just another day at the office, nuff said!

The best to ever do it!

Today November 27th marks the 70th birthday of the the greatest icons of martial arts cinema, and a key figure of modern popular culture. The person that we call "the best to ever do it", Lee Juan Fan also known as The Dragon, Bruce Lee. Very few people "change the game" or create a legacy that has had such a major impact in the world. In honor of his greatness the Hot Peas and Butta gang will be spending the day watching his greatest cinematic works, reviewing documentaries and going through the many pieces of memorabilia that I've collected over the years of this legendary individual. Below shows just a few pieces that we treasure from posters, to soundtracks and even vintage iron-ons.

Mode 2

Last week while in Montpellier France I had the opportunity to chill and build with a very influential artists within the graff community, the legendary Mode 2. This guy has a lot of knowledge as well as great stories from a time since gone. Always good to link up with cats and learn their history in depth and first hand.

Wholetrain!

Back in 2006 during the Philadelphia Film Festival I had the opportunity to see the screening of the movie Wholetrain which is a film shot in Europe about not just graff and bombing trains but friendships, lifes and relationships. After the screening I linked up with the writer / director Florian to do an interview for the radio show that I did with my partners Fredy Blast and DJ Primetime called "The Formula" w/ The Science Patrol. After chilling out at my crib, shooting the breeze and talking about graff history in Europe, NY and Philly we finally got down to the topics at hand. Here is the interview, enjoy!
