Here we go, here we go, here we go now.....Yet another vector of a popular icon. This time we throw it to the man that held it down on the left coast. A member of the well known group: N.W.A and  the certified hood classic BOYZ IN DA HOOD. His being from Cali it only made sense for to throw in the classic yellow and purple. Just another way to show that colors can make an image pop. Take it for what you want but you know whats coming....Spike Lee look out for that.

I have been dropping posts at random for the simple fact that I feel I gotta live life to enjoy it. Since that time I have gone and listened to more music that I could only dream of. One of those music talent happens to be Gilbere Forte. I 1st heard about Forte on the well known Award Tour Blog. Dreaming of '87 is the name of the album and I havent gone as deep into the album as I would have like to, but I have listened to the album and 'Black Chukkas' has to be my favorite track. For most songs its the beat that catches my ear, has be bumpin my head even before I hear the lyrics and sets me up to take in the track. Let me show you whats Im talking about, check this out:

Back on my grind. I had to bring out the 50 image for the simple fact of " Power of a Dollar" and "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". It was a good year for rap. Like the entire meaning being 50cent was change and that he did. Change the game. I look to change the way people see things, and switch up colors were things can pop and intrigue the viewer. Look for more artists, not so much current artist but artist from the past that have effected the future.

Code and Creed

I have come to realize Twitter has become the most powerful means of communication between people. across the world. I had recently connected with the some really cool people from code and creed. Based in LA Code and Creed focuses on the love of art like myself. Their motto is: “Live by what you love.” We believe in living, loving, and discovering your passion. The coolest thing is that they have a t-shirt to show people their design side of things.


As part of this first chapter:  “The Fundamentals” have released a lookbook and three features on dancers who are up and coming in the west coast dance community.

She has danced as the principal dancer with Korean popstar Ava Lee Jung Hyun in Korea, danced on “America’s Got Talent” and “Glee” and performed with upcoming artist Kristinia Debarge. She has also been the assistant for some amazing choreographers on the Pulse Dance Tour including Shane Sparks, Mia Michael’s and Wade Robson, to name a few. 

Gino Garcia - Gino Garcia is a hip-hop dancer who has danced with a wide variety of groups in the L.A. area. He has had the honor to dance with Team Boogiezone’s BREED, and UCLA’s very own, Samahang Modern. Also, he has danced with several projects in Southern California, including Movement Project, Typecast Toys, Twisted Elegance, Lolly, VASSY, as well as creating his own project still in the works!

Im Back Only For A Moment

I feel like I'm back in a way, but in the same notion I never really left. Its just sometimes you do the same thing over and over again, you eventually need a break from the whole thing. I took a bit of  a break but I wont call this the complete come back I have some more tricks up my sleeve I have to push aside for family issues. I still have a few more things to get out of the way and then Ill be back trust me. With so much time away Its given me new inspirations, time to thinks and scheme up brand spanking new ideas. I did this for 2 reasons Eminen is back and he is one of the few musicians I have not created an image for. I have always been a fan of Eminem and now with this Recovery album I can honestly say its like hes never left. I did this a little more loose and in these colors cause it popped. Stayed consistent with the hair, the skin its my own twist and the eyes are always a favorite to mix up the colors its almost like you're looking deeper int the person than just their outside appearance.

Stay up

Life & Times: Smurkone to The Daily Antics

Its been a while since I have blog about anything. The main reason is for I am keeping off the inter-webs for one reason its taking away from me living. No, I'm not saying when I come on the computer I'm dying, but when I sit at my laptop for hours on end and people ask me what I did I said not much, because in reality I didn't do anything. Sorry for the group of readers and friends that read the blog. I cant say I'm actually back but I will do a better job of post whats going on. I have picked up the pencil again. So stay tuned and witness some spanking new ideas. Have drawn inspiration for many people and many things in the pass few days. and I feel my art has taken another turn for the better. A much more raw, free-flowing smooth way of doing things. I felt I had left my artist lifestyle and jump more into design. Remember these:

 The old sketckbook entries, that have been all but forgotten memories of ideas and thought that were visually established onto the paper. I have since grown from then. With more designed influenced imagery and digital work. Peep this: 

So while I have taken a break from all the computers I haven't taken a break from being creative. Its time I blend the digital word with the real world and thats what The Daily Antics will eventually turn into. Something that the world has seen, something simple and plain. Everyone say that, I'm just here to prove it.
