"Fresh & Fly Fishing."

I got some new products in the online shop including my latest gig poster! I am super happy how well these turned out. A lot of hardwork can produce some amazing results. Check out the store and pick up some new goodies!

Awake & Moving: Roots.

Awake & Moving presents: ROOTS.

The latest goods from Awake & Moving are officially online for sale! The collection dubbed Roots has been a long journey, prolonged by relocating to Austin, building capital, and stepping my game up overall in this brand. The new pieces look fresh and it's my biggest release to date--eight pieces for you to flex on foos, piss your parents and teachers off, and get that attention from that special someone that been ignoring you all summer. Time to stunt on 'em and leave 'em wanting more.

Peep the lookbook HERE, shot entire in my old neighborhood, the Southeast Side of San Antonio with my homies Isaac and Laura. Purchase all the goodies in the online shop HERE or go to awakeandmoving.com and click SHOP. Supplies, as always, are limited and once their sold out, no mas. No reprints. So wake up, don't sleep, and brush your teeth.

I am currently planning a pop-up shop in San Antonio slated for next week, so if you ain't about that shipping life, come thru. Rumor has it some Timewheel cats will be in attendance pumping out some tunes to shake your ass to. SSHH!!!

For now, enjoy the new wares and send all feedback my way. Seriously, even if you hate it, hit me up and tell me why. Tell me why you think it's dope and you'll rock it forever or that it sucks so bad you wouldn't use them as rags to change the oil of your car with. In which case, fuck you, but also I really do want to hear what you have to say. If you ain't got a sense of humor by now, you're in the wrong place so just be cool and lmk what you think, fireal fireal.

Cheers and good vibes everybody! I'm riding hella high today!

Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. Number 3.

The time has come. Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. Number 3 is officially here! It's been a long time since DSP2, roughly three years, but things come as they are intended and when. The extreme gap of time in between the two pushed me to create something bigger and better than before. I shed the smaller 20-page format in favor of over 50. I let go of black and white and embraced full-color. I shed light on two different artists versus the usual one, including a rare interview with APHRO ONER. I decided drawings weren't enough and included design, digital illustrations, and photography--essentially encapsulating most of my visual disciplines into one book. I then created the video below to further push my envelope and showcase what DSP is to me. The book is ready for purchase and I look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing your faces light up when you look through it.

PURCHASE BOOK HERE.

Online Store Updates.

This week and the following, I will be posting new works into the online shop for you all. From stickers to art prints to photo prints, be sure to take a look at the new pieces. The first new piece up is the DOOM print I promised you all not too long ago. This large 17" x 11" print is now live so go check it out! I will be posting some older prints as well to clear some inventory. EVERY order comes with free sticker(s) even the sticker pack orders.

Thank you for your continued support!

Currently.

It's been a little while since my last post so I'm gonna fill some gaps here.

The first being the easiest way to keep up with my current workings and adventures--SnapChat. I love SnapChat, as do many of you, and I will often fill my 24 hours with art tips, exploring adventures, random antics, good food, my current projects, Street Keepers meetups, and much more. It is a lot quicker to update there rather than here when I am on the go as nothing really needs to be edited or explained on SC. So if you're on SnapChat, find me at BLUE731. And Tweet me or something so that I know it's you. Bang.

DSP3.
Ok, so I am currently a month late on where I wanted to be as far as scheduling. I got some major pieces in late and I am currently re-working the cover. I had a great idea before (late last year) but I have since changed my mind; it wasn't gonna work the same, I feel. I finally have a great idea and I am working on the cover while I work on smaller projects and plannings and other photos.

Like SXSW.

I got invited to shoot a few acts for a new company and app, City HotSpot, for this years musical events. They [City HotSpot] are on the brink of their app launch and are currently waiting the go from Apple, apparently. A few of us from Street Keepers got sent out to shoot a variety of events and we also covered our own. I cannot share the photos I submitted to them until next month, but I do have a few I saved for me that I can share here and elsewhere. So keep an eye on my Tumblr and my 500px.

Street Keepers.
We took to Austin for our latest meet and had a blast through the muggy weather. We linked up with some awesome new cats like Mitch here who showed us some great spots for the short time we had. A lot of street shooting went down in and outside of SK that I am currently overloaded lol. I'm working on getting them up for you all to see so just hang tight--you know I always come through. I got some gems while out there.

The new studio.
Is still under construction. It's been tough, but I have been working from the floor mostly on a makeshift desk since I moved last month and drawing has been bit tougher than I am used to. Painting hasn't happened yet and that bums me out, so I am looking to get some new walls soon until I can paint indoors again. I will get photos and info up whenever that goes down.

My online portfolio.
I spent some time this week preparing work for and updating my Behance to showcase some album art I did last year. I try to update my page as soon as the project is done and should be much easier now that I am in this new space. So keep an eye out for more updates as the new stuff comes in this year.

Awake & Moving.
I am still restructuring A&M but rest assured, I will be ready for a summer release. It's a lot of logistics at this point and as you can see from all I've written so far, I have a ton to juggle. After DSP3 hits the printer and is released, Awake & Moving will be my primary creative focus along with Street Keepers. I have some big goals I want to hit with this and plan to do all that I can to make it happen.

Thank you for sticking by me all these years and if you're new, I hope you have enjoyed what you've witness. Trust me when I say we are barely scratching the surface here. Stick around! I guarantee you'll love it. That's all I have for now, I will see you all soon somewhere in this world as 2015 continues to push forward at too fast a speed--SLOW DOWN 2015!

I Have So Many Goosebumps Tonight.

January is off to a great start. It's been cold and wet for the first week and a half and it's kept me indoors to work. Which is dope--no distractions. I am in current study and talks of rebuilding this website in its entirety. I hope to import all these posts to the new site as well. Expect a rollout early in the year. It is a process though, so give it time, it is a total rehaul (and long overdue I might add). I am still shooting to have DSP3 done and in your hands by Spring. I have a lot on my plate and I am anxious to knock it all out. Street Keepers is going strong and the next flyer will be up this weekend, so keep an eye out for that. I took to the streets this evening to shoot as I haven't shot all year (eh, eh? get it? hahaha). It was a fun little venture hitting some new spots and finding entry to some older ones previously denied. So look for those images to pop up next week. I'm just kinda vomiting this update so if it seems erratic, pay no mind. I have been working on rebranding and properly structuring Awake and Moving so be ready for that by summer if all keeps going as well as it has; I have some great stuff planned out for the brand. I recently discovered two great things in life: Orange Is The New Black and Field Notes. Totally unrelated to each other, but super dope by their own measures. Check them both out. Lastly I will leave you with this little beautiful, auditory engagement...there really are no words.
