Freestyle
I painted this for my Nephew in 2008 for his birthday. I normally don't freestyle pieces but for some reason (maybe being lazy) I didn't draw an outline. If I had it planned out it would of turned out way better, he loved it and was surprised to see it.

RG 98
Yesterday, I Painted at this event called "Aerosoul" down at the 3rd & K yard in Chula Vista. I painted a SaKE outline from Rob Goblin/TBK. The original outline was on the back of an envelope from a letter that storm sent me from 1998.

Fear and loathing
I loathe painting inside with spray paint. It doesn't fill right especially when its on wood paneling. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to have this experience to do so. I 'd rather paint on brick and cinder blocks, out side on a cloudy day with my own decorum. Maybe, I'm being a zealot? My only excuse I can come up with is, that this reminds me of when I was a hired gun and for me that is draining on my soul and After two decades of being a paint zombie. I really don't want go back to that, maybe that's why I hate tattooing so much and thank God it only took me 10 years to realize that.
The basic fill with spot fading on a major scale adorn with pink clouds... Pinks is my most revered color. I use it a lot in my graffiti and paintings. I might add that this is a strange color scheme then the norm...hmm we will See how it turns out. 
On the right I put up an outline of a distinguished gentlemen.
Eh... to hell with that gentlemen! I didn't capture the look and the feel I imagined in my head. The letters did not fit with that style of portrait so I went over it and plan on doing some muggsy type character.

Lightning
I was really excited to go paint, especially after all those subway blogs. So I marched down to the Blok with some silver,black and pink. I got to the yard and Zone and Daze was working on a Chargers themed production. They wanted me to join in and they will supply the paint.

yuck!
This piece was painted from an outline from the early 90's. At the time I did like it but since I opt for the "red pill," I really hate this piece now! ...Why am I showing it? ....Why did I even paint it?
Although, I got a lot of props for this one and it was up for a long time. This just proves to me that the standards for graffiti in this decade has plumeted to a all time low and has been on the decline since the dawn of the 90's. I can't wait to see what is considered good after this decade is over with. What this proves to me ( and this is my opinion) is that hip hop culture is complete garbage, now. The music suck, the gear is wack, the graff is terrible, the breaking is puke. Altough there is occurance of great stuff being put out... but that is startring to get rare.
Hell, hip hop is just not fun any more.
After this fiasco I quit all the bullshit and started re-focusing on the basics and the graffiti lettering that attracted me to graffiti in the first place good ol' 70's and 80's New York subway writing. With the guidance and encouragement of Joey Gold, Storm and Starberry Sweet they help me get back on track again...well one can hope. i might be on track but the train hasn't left the station yet.

I painted this for her and Martha mentioned that I was the first writer to painter her name as a piece.
