Swank hooked me up with a couple of crates full of old Krylon spray cans... I look forward to using them! (Thanks Swanky!)

I ain't gonna front, the first time I heard of Botswana was from a Stetsasonics song back in the day. More recently, I heard about this mural in Botswana from Jasa THC. In case the image is too pixelated, it features a somewhat familiar character (and a bonus Ninja Tune logo...) I'm including the image below from the wall of Orange 20 for reference.

Some recent photos from my Instagram shennans. (Soy "eyeone" up in there...)

The homie Franz DG recently hit me up to do a collab with him. Above is the result. (He did the good parts.) Stay tuned for a limited edition print based on this design.

I'm showin' an old-ish piece in Crewest's 10 year anniversary exhibition titled Mission Accomplished. Info below:

Nice flip-through of the MONOKROME book. I'm one of the contributing artists along with luminaries such as Kofie, Ben One, Remi/Rough, Hush and Cute. The book is once again available online!

From the book's website: "MONOKROME brings together writers from all four corners of the globe with different styles, different views and different periods of time spent in graffiti. It creates an arena that is compelling for the veteran graffiti writer, the newcomer and the outsider alike... You'll see what you don't normally see; the work that happens before it gets to the wall, the work that builds upon what went before it, the work that bridges the gap between the old and the new. All in black and white..."
