Pose Ironlak limited edition can

The homey Pose came thru with a banger piece for this limited edition release from Ironlak. The "Pose Sushi" is an entirely new color for the brand's palette. Nice!

Legally, I can't say anything about that painting behind the three dancers in the center square. So, here's me 'not saying anything.'

Fake Shore Drive mixtape

Fake Shore Drive is a comeup for the local hip hop scene, offering plenty of breaking underground news and exclusive videos downloads. Add it to your RSS feeder for your own sake. The site's first official mixtape has dropped and is available free for download now. True Chi-heads will appreciate the "There but for the grace of God" piano sample on "Youngest In Charge" by Bump J, produced by Twilite Tone. And my throat choked up at 1:00 on "Kings Theme Music" by Pugs. He says, "Afro on the shirt..."

Mind playin tricks on 'em

I'm currently working on a legacy mural with 8th grade students at
Spry Elementary. We are tracing a 4-color index separation file
straight from Photoshop. You'd think it would be easy enough, but
these students are drawing lines that don't exist; except in their
minds. They're drawing in cartoonish lips and completely circular eye
balls, because that's what lips an eyes are "supposed" to look like,
right?

Kinda frustrating, kinda refreshing.
...mostly frustrating though.
