Screen printing and events rule the planet!!!!

Back to back blog session GIT SOME. As an artist Ive always wanted to learn about the craft of screen printing. Finally my home skillet Danny I-swizzle hooked me on the knowledge. S o i made this totally ill poster for this show(hip-hop) i had at BIG V's. I am a hip hop artist and the show went well. I hooked up with this group the Bumpin uglies (who where awesome by the way) and rocked the house. But back to the poster a decided to jump in head first and did a five color print. I made a collage and did some hand style and was excited  and pleased with outcome.  

ART SHANTY PROJECT POSTER

WOW sorry i haven't  updated in a while but i promise to all my faithful that ill get on top of it. So the last project i blogged about was a hip hop rant so ill try to bring it back to the art realm. So here is a poster i made for  the art shanty project i made this in the snow out of stuff that the shanty's are made out of the stuff shanty's are made of. I tried to make a nice composition that expressed the feeling of the event.Check out MN art shanty projects for more info.

Special thanks to ALEK and WILL D.

Scott La Rock It !

How do you afford your rock and roll life style? What happened to hip hop in the park? Who shot ya? Can you say my nizzel and not be racisizle? These are some of the questions that we are faced with today in young, urban, contemporary culture. Have all of the influences of the past siphoned us to this mundane sound that "blazes on pop radio"? I hope not, did old school, trip hop, gansta rap, dirty south, Reggeton and all of the other gene's of hip hop lead us to the notion prefabricated cookie cutter emcees. I mean really Solja boy dose he even have lyrics, or is it all just one big hook? is this the evolutionary step  that our hip hop four fathers wanted there ideas to spawn into? Is new hip hop a generic blob of fragmented ideas sewn together with the broken threads of society. Well i leave it up to you. //////////////////////////////////////////////
