TAME1 LUV1 Art Show

The show called "Occupy the Arts 2" put on by SERVIZM and SINNERBLOCKS crew on Jan 28, 2012.  Nice little spot called the Greenroom by the train in Harrison, NJ.  Above is my portrait of Tame One in his early days, signed by the legend, nfs (maybe a print).  Below are some flicks from the show, hoping to get some better quality ones in the coming days...Peace to SERV, TAME, VECS, COE, SUE Works, Nic Mercer

salt water air sea breeze taste, raising your spirits gently.
misted fresh and warm.
far away from it all.
temporal oasis.

Watching the Polish Hammer shit talk KG last night and follow it up with results hurts my soul. Remember when KG used to go in the paint and had an arsenal of moves beyond the jump shot? Double digit rebounds? Remember when his passion was more than theatrics? i miss that KG. Here's hoping he gets that fight back as his old legs get into better shape. C'mon C's!!

cold rockin

Me and KASSO decided to take advantage of the bareable temps and rock a lil' sumtin for the community.  It's an abandoned lot where a building was demolished and now is like a giant toilet for the local animals, the last part we didn't know until we got on location.  Here's a peek at what lay every every few inches at various stages of detioration (your welcome for sharing)

I brought an empty squeeze bottle of dish detergent and mixed acrylic and water and had fun squirting colors and slanging paint combining with layers of tags and scrawl for the background.  In the end I like what came of it, tho as always feel it could've been batter.  Hard to concentrate standing in shit, among other complications of the day that thankfully turned out alright. 

Thanks to Sean at Cali Bound for coming out and filming us...check it

Thoughts on Tim Tebow ... A customer came in yesterday, who I've known for a number of years. She's from MA originally and I remember from the 2008 election, she's a Republican and a Christian, she backed Romney over McCain, but said the only thing she didn't like was his Mormonism. All this led to the following conversation around the game coming in a few hours.
"you think your Pats are going to be okay this weekend?" I asked. She smiles, clearly impressed I remember where she's from and that the whole family is into the Patriots (she stopped coming in three or four times a day in the 08 recession), "I hope so." "Better watch out, he's got God on his side," I lay down with a good amount of sarcasm she fails to pick up on. "You know, I don't root for anyone else, but if we had to lose to someone, I'd be glad it was him." and I know why, and it's not enough to say he's Christian, he's her kind of Christian. When Obama was running, she wasn't on his side, he is a Christian. Matter of fact she'd push her negative opinions of him onto me unprovoked. She liked the Mormon remember? Tebow, from what I understand, is one of those "family values" conservative christians who omit the whole Jesus ate with Roman tax collectors, good samaritan thing and prefer to scapegoat those in vulnerable numbers and different cultures and focus on gods wrath instead of gods love. Btw, eye of the needle guys. Every time he wins a miraculous win, he adds fuel to the fire of the Brimstone believers. I see this I want to be the adversary to big Tim. I want to draw a line in the sand and say their faith and my faith are not the same. But a few days ago I read an article written clearly against Tebow and felt the polar opposite. I hear a lot of people hating on him because of his beliefs. I have to admit, being a person who writes LUV in an aggressive personality arena, the amount of courage and conviction to be in such a bad boy sport and play the choir boy is very admirable. And I think of a verse from a Common song on religion that I hold dear "long as you know there's a being that's supreme to you, you let that show towards others and the things you do." There was a roundtable on ESPN before the Bulls vs Celtics game yesterday about sports and Martin Luther King where a woman said the most segregated hour in our country is every Sunday when we all go to our different houses of worship, she said the most united is Super Bowl Sunday. Well I'm not so sure this year lol. But honestly, when I heard the guy talk for himself, like after beating another customer of my store's team, except literally (Mark Sanchez), Tebow seemed to praise his teammates just as much as big upping GOD. Watching him interact with them he didn't seem to be pushing any anti-abortion, anti-immigration anti-gay anti-everything except corporate money and the word, just the word, not thee "word", Jesus on anyone. Listen, I'm going to take the stance that the guy just believes and I'm not going to fault him for that. I'm going to stand under the same doing right for goodness's sake umbrella and hope he can pull off another miracle. Because the man plays without fear and all heart and it's fun to watch, besides my Bears have long been out. I hope his hail mary's land in perfect view for all his haters to see! Sick of seeing Tom Brady win anyways. Go Tebow !
