新年に面白そうなギャラリーが開始される。町の周りにこのステッカーはめっちゃ貼ってあるはず。(もう気付いている人もおると思う)めっちゃ近所のPROHIBITで日本全国のグラフィティ達人の展示!(2010年1月16日〜2月16日)
It’s going to be sweet to sing in the New Year with this sick exhibition opening up only blocks from the shop. You might have already seen the stickers around town – PROHIBIT is hosting the gallery (running from 2010.1.16~2010.2.16) featuring graf talent from all over Japan.

2ヶ月前の1977展示にいけなかった人、いろんなライター先生の作品をいっぱい見るチャンス!まだ先やけど楽しみやわ。
If you missed the 1977 Inkspot Exhibit 2 months back this is your chance to check out some serious writers that run the gamut of graffiti.

お客さんの美容室のマーク、デザイン完成!CASPER文字、DEPASの絵、そして僕のレイアウト。
One of our clients just opened a new hair studio so we whipped up some identity for him. Casper on the fancy characters, Depas on the scissor drawing, and myself on fonts and layout.

Hey, for all y’all out there who love getting ‘celebrity’ tattoos – hope you remembered to record this program – they gave a nice play by play on the tattoos of fallen idol Noripi and her husband.

futureflyer
After the Graphite Show at Elixir last week I headed down to Rockets again after picking up this flyer for FUTURE REVOLUTION. Amazing hardcore (Masterpiece, UG Man and others)
先週のGRAPHITEの展示OPENが終わってからロケッツのHARDCOREイベントに行って来た。

more show
There’s skateboarders flying in front of the stage, but this shakey photo was taken with an iphone in the dark under the influence of certain substances so you’ll have to take my word for it.
あまりこの写真には見えないけどスケボでステージの前でめっちゃワザをしている。

a masterpiece
The air was sickly sweet with Belton fumes as this incredible collaboration piece by Casper, Depas, Dise, Espy, and Cook unfolded before our eyes.
あぁ、BELTONの甘い匂い!コラボのピースは目の前に現れてきた – by Casper, Depas, Dise, Espy, and Cook

Lum! Where have you been?
ラムちゃん!一体どこにいっていたの?!

Osaka Kustom Kulture master practitioner Monk! Live pin-striping for the free-hand-loving inclined.
カスタムカルチャーマスターMONKさん!ライブでピンストをやっていたぁ!

hannya iphone
Monk had his brushes on hand and whipped up this Hannya piece on the back of my iPhone. Sick!
ブラッシュを現場に持って来たMONKさんにわしのiPhoneに描いてくれた般若!

metallica sign
His “Metallicaesque” signature is the ‘charm point’ of this piece!
メタリカ風なサインはポイントや!

flyer mane
That’s not all though, No Bondage was on hand doing live silk screening on whatever clothing item you wanted… and all I had was a kimono that I had to keep nice so I forked over for a shirt.
それだけちゃう。NO BONDAGEもライブシルクスクリーンをやっていた。着物だったんで別のシャツを買って写してくれた。

Love that character pose on the flyer!
フライヤーにのっているキャラクターのポーズは気に入り!

Tryin’ my own hand at it – with the Ero-styles. Shit’s harder than it looks! Or maybe I just make it too hard.

Dise Shirt

By the way, Dise got almost the last shirt – we have like 5 left if L, come and get one if you want one!

Massive Graffiti Live Paint / Art Show in Amemura

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Graffiti Monsters ESOW and ESPY from Tokyo will be teaming up with DEPAS and CASPER from Osaka for another amazing art show!!! The live painting of the front shutter of the DownTown Building (Chopstick 1st Shop) will kick off the opening party. Work from all artists will be on display on the 2nd floor.

If you caught the ’13th floor’ opening on Nagahori last winter then you already know the show is liable to take a few unexpected twists along the way. (Impromptu silk screening, lady-painting, black book swapping, and guest drunks just to name a few)

DJ Very will be keeping the beat topside while the artists work below.

The show opens August 20th – live painting starts after dark!
