On a bit of a hiatus..

Sorry folks for the lack of daily posts, just been working alot and dealing with alot of family issues some good some bad, but thats life in a nutshell. We have to take the good with the bad to appreciate whats really important in life. Im going to leave you with this image to show you guys alittle of whats goin on in the world of Daily Antics and the brand.


I'm taking it back to when it was about the art work and not the design. I watched a video interview with a young entreprenur that said you have to make a  connection with your audeince. There are thousands of people trying to do the same thing. You need to be able to find that connection and still make it fun. Thats the hard part being creative and making money from it or at least a living.

A Day In The Life...


Well I'm back from my hiatus, well not really its only been a day. There is so much that goes on in ones life just think of everyones life on earth. People being, people creating life in the pre-stages of pregnancy, some doing it for fun. Before this just becomes an on going rant about what people are doing in their lives I'm here to talk about whats going on in mine.

I decided to take some photos to look back at the 1st t-shirt I ever got printed...I don`t promote them anymore some they are basically a promo t-shirt of whats to come. The name has changed the, ideas and the entire concept has changed. Daily Antics is the new movement.

This is me brainstroming, yes I take a marker cause its more permanment and I come up with ideas, things that I have seen a long the way that I can manipulate and change. Old skecthbook ideas, the list goes on.

Whats are these you mind ask, well if you didnt I'm going to share the info with you anyway. These are samples of potential Daily Antics stickers. I have gone into this design mode, where I dont draw as much as I use to which is beginning to get to. Stickers? I haven't even come out with t-shirts and I'm moving on to stickers. Well the  answer is yes. I have many friends that shall be nameless because of their ties with the law that play in the streets and when i mean play I mean paint in the street (graffiti). The idea has been brought up countless times and I thought I would make it a reality.

 More ideas, more letters, more late night of the light bulb flashing on in my head just before I am ready to hit the sheets. I dont know if it only me, but I tend to pull out my best work when I am just about to go to sleep or I am pulling an all night for a half started project. I work best when my backs against the wall.

On to my favorite pass-time. Ending someones on dreams in a video game or 2. I never thought I would put down the controller. Every year I was ready to play Madden Football and pick my favorite team the eagles. Who have since traded McNabb star QB to their rivals the redskins, which to me is clearly disrespectful. Any who people Im off to do something with my life. You should do the same we will catch up later.

Madbury has changed the way I blog..

Oh man its Friday. Well I made it to another one. As many would like to sat TGIF. I haven't been blogging much for the simple fact the entrance of The Madbury Club has consumed my life. Yes, it might seem a little weird but in stead of blogging I'm have been posting comments on music, fashion, games, and our new subculture of blogging and photo taking.  Not to mention the Editor & Chief: Phil has these dope layouts that makes me wanna , great content and a way of talking about things people are actually interested in blogging about.


I have been following Phil for a while and the Award Tour his personal clothing brand. If you have followed my blog you might have come across this video:

PHILLIP ANNAND from TONE on Vimeo.


This video was done nearly a year prior to Madbury Club site actually going up. Like the many times I have posted this video or talk about Award Tour its just because I am  fan of what seems to be going on.  I blog about things for the people that don't know or haven't heard about it. Madbury Club seem like the new way of blogging and I'm sure with the right collective of people other blogs like this will appear. Just be the 1st to see what going on in the new, but fast world of blogging and self promo.

This was the NY Promo that got peoples attention, this video gives you some insight on what the club is bringing to your table. Many key players like: OnAwardTour (The Master Mind), MarcusTroyRebel SocialiteJuice Tha CapoMightyHealthyNYCtotheJLerickarcelliott,  iAmMeechMarley and TheBKCircus. Well. here it is he New York Promo:
The Madbury Club! from The Madbury Club on Vimeo.


Well I think I have done my fair share of blogging about Phil, Award Tour, and not the Madbury Club. I'm sure he has more up his sleeve, but for now I'm going to build my empire...Daily Antics...Lets Go!! look out for more in-depth blog post with graphics and better content.

My world through a lens

Another day another struggle quoted from the late great Notorious B.I.G if you don't know, now you know. That enough of that I could go on all day on different quotes from legends and great people of the world. I must say the past few days have been great to say the least. The brand is coming along it feel like all I am doing is talking about, but it has been years in the making. almost like when a raw talented has his 1st album already made based on tracks he has made over the years. Today Im going to give you a look through my eyes. More black and white, more perspective. Its been time I turned off my laptop. I am losing touch with the sketchbook. Take a look see for yourself:


Till next time folk...Daily Anitcs coming soon and this time its not just talk...Show and Prove

Name Tagging


Its been a while since I had made a post, but its has been because I have been slaving away at the computer with these designs and Daily Antics ideas. I was surfing through my usual websites and came across this Martha Cooper video: Name Tagging. Tagging has become a lost art. Its seems everyone wants to just throw up the pretty murals and production pieces. Yeah, big deal right? I have been a writer and support of graffiti for years and have realized tagging is like creeping before you walk. You have to form a letter style before you do throw-up or even a burner and then move on to something a lot more complex. Anyway peep the video I'm going to go and write my name:

Goodtimes with the Canon

Today was a day of new findings, book reading and random pictures to make you scratch your head.
Aimlessly walking and snapping picture with my new camera, cars rides to the book store to add more in-depth research to the collection and the up and coming line. I must say black and white photography has a way with me. Its just so vintage. I love color, but just think of a world that was black and white where color could be imagine and dreamed of. Yeah they have a movie and its happens to be one of my favorites. Pleasant Ville.


The pictures below is one of those hidden gems I was referring to on twitter. Its a local spot thats some friends and I heard about. I heard they sell patties and I hadn't one a patty in years, but the only difference is this patty came with lettuce and cheese. Yeah, I said ew!! in the beginning, but you cant knock it till you try it. This place sells pizzas, subs, and these patties. I don't usually blog about food, cause I feel like Maestro Knows has that done pat, but if your ever in the area check them out. I always down to support the locals especially when its food.


Well it was good, enjoy the summer folks as you can see I'm stuffing my face and working hard to bring the collection to your front door. Never be afraid to try something new, that how locals spots stay afloat. Go swimming or something folks.

-Till next time

A snapshot

So you tune into smurk.blogspot.com and you see me. Close up and wonder why pn God's green earth has this guy taken pictures of himself. The answer to the question is in the photos. My 8 year old cousin too these although I'm not a fan of close up what the hell I step outside and the world see me close up. Just the beginning stages of my interview process. Interview you ask? I plan to share with the world the inner cities talents from graffiti, music, fine art, dance etc. Anything creative I'm willing to document it because I love to see people follow their dreams. I could never see myself stopping my dreams, I have way too much passion and love for what I do to ever stop. I believe everyone has a creative side and this blog is on the verge of a facelift. New topics, new personalties, a completely new focus. Daily Antics is the name of my future t-shirt brand but the more and more I live out my lifetime dreams and try to reach the top which in mind is a life time goal. The Daily Antics also seems to be a lifestyle of sorts. So onward with antics.


Having fun taking pictures as you can see more to come from the concrete jungle I call tomorrow. Where I was born and raised. Look out for the place I call home and some of the people I call friends. Daily Antics isn't a brand its a lifestyle.

Heres The Canon

In the midst of The Madbury Club antics. I finally got my Canon and a hole lot of photo fun. I felt like I was 7 years old and I had $20 in the candy store. Take a peek at what I have recently documented so far:


Its funny you never realize when you get your ideas from and your artist side from, but my aunt has been raising me for most of my life. Neither one of my parents have the artistic itch, hustlers in their own right. Besides that my aunt has brought out my artistic side, by simply hating on me. The hate motivated me and made me want to prove to that I had talent in many ways.

Remembering The Good Times

As we get older we look back and remember the little silly things we did as children, or what was cool at the time. I was with my sister a few days ago talking about cartoons and TV shows like Power Rangers and  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Growing up  coloring was never my favorite pastime. Anything I drew that I had to color I disliked off the bad, it never came out the way I wanted it. 15 year later, a college diploma and a better knowledge of color scheme with a greater advancement of technology and here I am.

                                                                                                                                            (Print Previews)
Taking my ideas and making it a reality. I have come a long way and I feel that I'm only getting better with time. There are a few things I have neglected in the past few months that I would like to bring back to fold. Nearly everything I do now has color and/or some type of color scheme to it. I still love black, white and gray but color just bring out so much emotion. The picture above is just another demonstration of what I planning for the future. Making sure today is better than yesterday.  I can only imagine where I will be in another 2 years, but hopefully I can look at this post and remember how much I was doing to try and reach my goals. Well it's time I put this post to a close and enjoy the rest of the day before I have to hit the streets like Hits From The Streets. And I'm gone.

Ladies & Gentlemen: Scatter Brain

Its definitely weird sometimes when your in high school and you never know someone future ambitions. Its funny cause I know he was into school playing on his guitar for all the ladies. Who is he you ask? Thats ScatterBrain of course I posted something about him a while back talking about his mixtape, but I must say I'm a bit behind with this. I'm talking about his music video. Its his 1st production if I am not mistake and to be its a banger. Shows off the Canadian flavor like he only knows how. Its a good look for music in Canada. Of course we have Justin Beiber. Drake. K-OS and Kardinal Offishal, but that doesnt mean we still done have great talent seeping through the cracks. Scatter Brain is one of the homies and I believe is one recognized. I hope one day I can interview him, but well see thats another time another place check out the video after the jump:


Look out for more for this guy. If I know his he only getting started.
You can Find him one Twitter: @ScatterBrainHH
Or his Offical website: ScatterBrain HipHop

Sketck book Chronicles

It dawned on me that if I have a brand named Daily Antics it would only makes sense to update the blog daily. It also makes sense that if I am alive I am not just lying in bed. I am doing something with my life, always making moves. My goal in life is to make today 2 times better than the day before yesterday. Treat everyday like its your last. Sometimes that can be taken as a negative thing, because when u go to sleep you may not wake up? thats one hell of a thing to think about, but the only movement in life is forward. Time is too short to look back and dwell on the past. Anyway enough of that sentimental gar-gain. Here is what I have been working on:




Its been sometimes, but I have finally picked up the pen and turned on the music. I had just let the ideas flow like a cool summer breeze or the calm before the storm. Daily Antics is not just something something I keep talking about. It has almost become a way of life.  Its is something I wake up and do everyday. Break routine,  never do the same thing twice, being original, not being afraid to try or even live life.
