Q-Tip and Josh Vanover

The Keystone Design Union in conjunction with Alloy Access worked together to produce the 2010 Hennessy Artistry campaign. This year the Artistry Curators are Quest Love and Black Thought from The Legendary Roots Crew and Q-Tip. Keep your eyes focused on Hennessy for future updates on events, special performances and up to date information.

It was an honor to host the campaign photo-shoot at The KDU compound in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As Derrick (D-Nice) Jones and Phil Knott photographed the talent, Aerosyn Lex and David Gensler Creative Directed and prepared the days home cooked BBQ.

Special thanks to everyone from all teams that made this amazing day possible.

Just got my Triumph back from Ducati NYC.
I had the stock t100 modified in just about every way you can imagine.

A new full Titanium single barrel pipe, new high flow air intake, new high flow braided fluid cables, new grips, throttle boss, pegs, gas cap, chrome fender, chrome cam covers, chrome kickstand, new saddle and low rise sissy bar, high performance, fully adjustable Ohlins rear shocks, front fork dampener and a bunch of other goodies. While I love the Bonneville, the stock bike was too quiet and sounded like a blender… she now sounds like a beautiful thunder storm. The arrow pipe has a deep note and
give a substantial jump to the front end power.

Special thanks to everyone at Ducati for the expert advice and service.

My exercise kick went south. Last night I ate 58 sliders and drank 14 strawberry shakes. Weighed in at 383 lbs. I will wrestle a gator if I could just find a damn gator in Brooklyn!!

I cannot possibly extend a more sincere congratulations to my good friend Mike Ventura and his entire team at Sub Rosa. They have just been honored by Ad Age – being named the Best Small Agency of the year.
Mike and his team have helped the entire KDU by launching our current global site – both consulting and network. They brought us in to collaborate on Diesel’s
Only The Brave launch in New York and Miami – working with some 50 KDU core members from around the world to produce a unique launch experience.
I look forward to seeing Mike and his team continue to grow and amaze us with more and more interesting projects.
