Art Is My Hustle - Update
November 16th, 2007
Wat’s up peoples. Producing these jumpers has been my biggest challenge all year. The Time Is Now (I know I've been saying this for a minute) and they are near enough ready. The pic I posted is the finished product. They are ready just in time for the Christmas period (not intentional though). More pics coming sooner than you think. Emails will go out pretty soon so get ready people.

Shepard Fairey at Stolen Space
November 8th, 2007
Went down to the Shepard Fairey's Nineteeneightyfouria at London's StolenSpace Gallery (Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane). The title is a reference to the surveillance culture in George Orwell's book 1984. The show is Fairey's largest exhibition to date, and it runs from November 2nd-25th. Arch manipulator, scoundrel, chief propagandist, provocateur, Shepard Fairey is the man many hail as the originator of the modern urban art scene and is an undeniable phenomenon. First coming to prominence in 1989 with his now ubitiquous 'Obey Giant' sticker campaign, the self styled phenomenologist has since gone on to become one of the most recognisable artists of the early 2000's. More pics after the jump.

Frieze Art Fair
October 21st, 2007
Went down to the Frieze Art Fair the week before last. I managed to get VIP press passes courtesy of Par2D2 (Thank you sir). On whole the event was pretty interesting. I was inspired by a few pieces (Some off the wall shit that the general public will not understand). Pieces that make the viewer question the definition of Art. More pics after the jump.

TMagic New Artwork
October 11th, 2007
Just finished some corporate work for MTV. Went to the studios today to reveal the new piece to Jasmine and the crew. They absolutely loved it. While I’m on subject of artwork, I have some new pieces coming soon. Trust me, I’ve been working overtime. The concepts and artwork (sketch work) is already done for my next exhibition in 2008. There will be a new print available for sale very soon.
Let me know your thoughts on this piece...

T.Magic Mania Pt.2
October 10th, 2007
So, the other night I was checking all my messages on Myspace and happened to open up one of the pages to this (Pic below). I was like "Woooooooooooow". I was actually in shocked for a second. Lost for words. The fact that I have inspired someone to permanently mark their body (for life) is scary but at the same time is very flattering. When my boy Anthony (aka Face Of T.Magic aka The Jizzle Lol inside joke), first got his 'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst' and then 'Success Is My Destiny' tat I was overwhelmed by a feeling that was indescribable. The thing is, he (Anthony) has been there since the inception of T.Magic so it was a bit more understandable to see somebody within my immediate family get a tat. But someone that I don’t know!!! That's crazy. I feel it is definitely a blessing from God. So I would just like to take this time out to say Thank You to all of my Life Supporters.

Playboy Bunnies
October 9th, 2007
The new Sony Bravia commercial has just hit the screens, and once again, the creative team behind these commercials is just crazy. If you remember, the former Bravia commercials featured millions of bouncy balls through the streets and the paint explosions in the air, but the newest advert employs the most impressive stop-animation that Ive seen ina minute. The ad was staged in New York by Frank Budgen of Gorgeous Enterprises, working with a creative team from Fallon, including creative director Juan Cabral.

Bad Habits
October 8th, 2007
Ron English
ELMS LESTERS‘ innovative “Small, Medium, and Large” group show featuring art by ADAM NEATE, ANTHONY LISTER, DALEK, DELTA, FUTURA, JOSE PARLA, MARK DEAN VECA, PHIL FROST, RON ENGLISH, SPACE INVADER, STASH and WK INTERACT opened on Friday nite. I was pissed because I couldn't make it.You know how it is,too much work to do. But any way as the show’s title implies, each artist created works in three different sizes and price brackets allowing collectors with radically different budgets a chance to hit the cash register with equal force and, as expected, there were no shortage of takers. Most if not all these Artist I study and highly respect thier craft. My two favorites are Ron English and Jose Parla. Big artistic inspirations.
