just one more thing...

i remember as a youngster staying with my aunt hannah when mom and dad were on the town, usually a weekend and usually just the right time to catch the latest columbo mystery... i was too young to understand the idea of the "everyman" hero taking down the wealthy and elite, but i certainly caught on to the concept of someone being much more than they appeared. at first glance he was a pushover that the murderer brushed off as a schlub and by the final scene columbo had worked them over and nailed 'em to the wall.

i hadn't seen the show in years, but when peter falk died recently and RAS said he wanted to do a tribute wall i was all in. i felt like the classic "just one more thing" pose was perfect so i got to cutting a life size (or what i assume is close to life size since i don't have a scouting report on peter falk) stencil of the lieutenant. the rest as they say, is history.

shouts out to RAS for the idea, LUV1 and lil' LUV for the documentary work and MEK for some well placed advice and the letterwork on the quote... and rest in peace to the man, peter falk. enjoy the video, some details and of course columbo getting on george wendt's last nerve...

garden variety - trenton, nj

a great collection of mc's showed up at the galamo in trenton last saturday night for the may edition of the garden variety show. s.a.g.e. collective represented as well, with KASSO running the show and LUV1 and i getting down on the walls. LUV rocked a beautiful portrait of the late, great gil scott heron and i dropped a couple of mix tapes (man i miss tapes). i also got down with some rare freehand work, putting up a big blue monster rockin' the mic. a good time was had by all.

obviously you're not a golfer...

it's a barn paintin'!... S.A.G.E Collective rocked out on my shed this weekend and i took a stab at my first non-stencil portrait. what better timeless icon to display in my own backyard, but the dude himself. now he's takin' 'er easy for all those tomatoes growing back there...

beautiful additions put in by the talented luv and the one an only Kasso.

the dude also stands sentry over the future home of the backyard bar...

"hey careful man, there's a beverage here, hey!"

spring jam '10

albus cavus and company did another bang up job this year.... worked with luv and delve and a fun piece at the bottom of the stairs at this year's spring jam at the raritan river wall. beautiful day to paint and dance and sing and draw and see TONS of great artwork. absurdly talented artists come from all over for a peaceful day working on this wall.thanks to been 3 for these great photos (and some excellent ones of my daughter getting up on her own piece of the wall). the big bob ross was a fun choice because everybody who came down the stairs was stoked to see him and they all had a story about how bob got them into painting by making it look so damn easy.


delve hooked up this sick sky to throw some (much requested and appreciatecd) happy little trees... leave it to bob ross sprark the unifying factor in the piece...

final wall, masterfully assembled in photoshop by luv. best believe it was tough getting a photo of the whole wall at once.
