Recently I was the winner, in the category 2D Design, of the first Cut & Paste in Italy (Milan) sponsored by 55dsl. My friend Matt told me that I would do well !
In October there’s the final in NY…I hope to enjoy myself, will be my first time in NY !!!
David Gensler and myself started this project last year in summer of 2008. The idea came from an Urb Magazine feature we were doing. Half way through the project we realized that this concept was bigger than a spot in a magazine… We decided to embark on this crazy idea of trying to photograph all the creative types that make up New York City.
I must have cycled, camera in- tow, like a demon, across all bridges and boroughs. It was hot as hell. But definitely worth it! By doing this project, I was able to meet many talented folk that live in New York and I saw some cool and fantastic art.
We are still going strong and will continue to do so until we reach 1000 portraits (dont ask why the number ~ it just sounds magical.) I see this project lasting 5 years, or even longer — really getting as many people as possible… showing the whole spectrum.

I didn’t think that the KDU was capable of doing something like this. Finally we can get in touch !!!
Thanks David, Lex, Sub Rosa and all persons ( the team in photo ) who contributed to this.
If you don’t trust, do it !!!
Two Promotional Pieces of artwork I created for KDU
We’re just opening up the doors over here at TheKDU.net and it’s been amazing and enlightening to see that the entire fam now has a place to interact and build up even further.
Huge things to come. Big up to Sub Rosa and the KDU core crew for making this happen.
TRUST!
Acabamos de abrir las puertas aquí en TheKDU.net y ha sido genial e instructivo ver que toda la familia ahora tiene un lugar para interactuar y unir aun más fuerzas.
Se vienen cosas enormes. Un saludo a Sub Rosa y el núcleo KDU por hacer esto posible.
TRUST!

Hello friends, Below is a 3 x 8 foot drawing I created for the KDU/Diesel Only the brave art show in nyc. The concept for this piece was to illustrate through image and lettering visual call outs to every grafitti artist, designer and illustrator that inspired me through their creative bravery. This included graf artists from San Francisco in the 1990s where I grew up, all the way up to current times working as part of the KDU.
The artwork itself was loosely sketched in pencil then filled in with pen and ink, taking me roughly 2 weeks of heavy line work. Inspiration for these piece most obviously are my kdu counterparts. Past inspirations though have been Twist, kaws, reminesce, ICP (San Fran), saiman chow and mike giant.

Skateboard and apparel artwork for Artsprojekt. I worked on this during some down time awhile back. As the first post here, I felt the subject was appropriate to share. Big things to come. Cheers.
