Art Basel 2010 Day 3

So Saturday was a pretty lax day. Me and the homies went around the Design District and Wynwood catching up on all the small gallery exhibits and the productions and murals going on in the streets. No pictures from the day sorry I didn't have my camera on me. I went back during the week though to photograph all the finished pieces and I'll do a post on that soon. That night the crew went to the Art Basel Castle put on by Overthrow. The venue was in a warehouse complex in Wynwood that looked like a castle from the outside. Pretty dope. The event had work from Mike Giant, Claw Money, Ron English, Mike Bode and a bunch of other artist, and performing at the event was Theophilus London. This was the second time I saw him live and i was pretty dope bc I was right in the front. Another dope act that performed before Theophilus was this chick from Baltimore called Rye Rye. She put on an Awesome show. Mad energy, I loved it. Almost more then Theophilus. Anyway below are some photos from the night.


The night was sponsored by Pabts. Yeah!


Man of the hour. Mr. London.



I always liked that Krink looking Chanel tee

Good times!

Art Basel 2010 Day 2

On Friday as soon as I got out of work I headed to the Mondrian to head to the Island but when I got there at dusk they said the boats stopped going at 4pm because the Island was over capacity, but I wasn't stressing bc the Mondrian had an open bar. On my way out I met Dante Ross. I can tell I made him happy bc I think I was the only person there that recognized him. He was grinning from ear to ear after I told him I was a fan.lol. After wards Me and Alex headed to the Standard for the Kaws book signing. Cool guy, he told me Wonderwall was designing his new studio in Brooklyn. Can't wait to see that completed. After the Standard we headed to Lincoln Road to the Taschen Book Store for the Trespassing book release. We arrived to free champagne and Shepard Fairey spinning some hip hop classics which is always good. Inside I got the book signed by mad artists. Peep the photos below.










Obey on the wheels of steel.

Dude was drunk of his ass.

FWY X Building Blocks X Rainbow City X Art Basel 2010

First and foremost I want to give a shout out to my boy Edwin over at
Friends With You. Without him this post would of never been possible. So to Edwin good looking out homie! So Thursday night was the first night of Art Basel for the common folk. But the treatment I received didn't make me feel so common. That night was dedicated to the wonderful world of Friends With You. If you weren't there that night you were nowhere.

Before going into Rainbow City I ran over to the FWY store/studio to check out the Building Blocks Exhibit that they had created for Art Basel. Awesome works as usual. After checking out the works i got my free Mojito on and proceeded to Rainbow City. Once we got in we ran into a bunch of friends, and Shepard Fairey. When I was done catching up with some friends I headed into the Gift Tent that FWY set up that sold a bunch of their products along with a bunch of Natives shoes who'd they'd partnered up with for the event. FWY also partnered up with WESC and designed these really cool stripped blankets/scarfs that they were giving away for free in three different color options blue/white, red/white and green/white. I got all three color ways, don't ask me how. Later on that night I found out that they weren't even suppose to be for free. Only people with VIP cards were suppose to get one. Lucky me. Lol.

At 10 N*E*R*D came on to perform a free show that kicked ass. At the beginning of the show I noticed my boy Julian was at the front of the crowd and I knew he was going to get on stage. It's like and N*E*R*D X Miami tradition. I've been to 4 N*E*R*D concerts and out of those 4 show Julian has made it on stage 3 times to jam out with Pharrell, Shae and Chad. Tonight was no exception. I'll let you watch the video at the end to see how it went down. All in all it was a great way to start off Art Basel.

NYC 2010

NYC, what can I say felt like home. What more can you ask for in a city. Below are some photos I took to chronicle my time in the city during the Thanksgiving weekend this year. On Black Friday I scooped up Alex at the airport in the morning and we headed to Paula's hotel. From he hotel we took the subway to Soho to participate in the black Friday madness.

View from Paula's hotel.

Awesome croissants here. Right next to Kid Robot.

Ran into the twins working at 21 Mercer. Its good to see that there doing well.
