First, I gotta give propers to Joe Jay for treating me in a most grand manner! Joe's band Concrete Jumpsuit along a few other bands jammed Friday night to the early morning as I painted a 8x8 surface of OSB with mostly spray paint of course, Rustoleum to be exact! Mighty Gesture was in the house documenting all the art that was poppin off. Please let me drop some science on you about Mighty Gesture. It's composed of some highly innovated young black artists, who are diverse in their influences and creations. Mighty Gesture Captain's chair is headed by Miles Rainey -Whitby, who you should keep an eye out for! The future is bright for this young dude!
I digress, anyways I got busy on that large surface and knocked out a piece. The folks there were intrigued with it, but I know in the Graff/Street art world I'm not doing nothing new at all. I'm just bringing people closer to the process that it takes to create this genre of art, call me the Ambassador of GoodILL!
On Saturday Izms of art was invited to Charlotte's UNCC for its community day. My Izms brethren Mustafa and I went there to rep and support our friend , who works with the Arts community in Charlotte, Ms. Donell Stines. She works at the college as the Community coordinator. It was a beautiful day! It was warm and a little breezy. We brought out our T shirts, music and stickers. We also set up a spot for kids to paint a bit. We also got a chance to chop it up our friend John Hairston,Jr. , who is currently doing a mural at the college. We sold some Izms of art products and met some people like Julio the Mexican aka Gonza,who created 3 stencil pieces along with Scott Parrish, to add to our networking circle. I'd say all in all we had a pretty dope time!
Now, the first Thursday of October offers me the opportunity to do some more live painting reppin the CMB and in support of our Artisan sister Carlleena Person's solo show in the Soda city. The Friday and Saturday will be filled by Colacon, which will feature PHIFE dawg of ATCQ and Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang clan. Izms of art will be there with art and merch. I have also been given the privilege of dropping some art to these hip hop icons, not bad huh?!!
I'll be back in few...Deuces!
"dreamers Never sleep!"...EL- Evate & EL- Luminate!
