New Painting....

Hey, here is a new video that I made of me painting my friend Alpha. A lot of people always ask me how I paint my portraits, so here it is.

The Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble was this past weekend and it was crazy. We had around 300 people show up, so the place was jammed pack inside and out. Friday, the day before the show was one of the craziest days ever. We woke up that morning and found our crew on the cover of The Dallas Mornig News Quick publication which is ditributed all over Dallas. People were calling us all day talking about us making the cover. Later that night we headed out to install the show and we got some terrible news. The guy that owned the place decided that we could'nt have the art show at his place anymore and he gave us some lame reason. It sucked because we spent months of promoting this event, our freinds Day19 had it promoted on swindlemagazine.com and we even made a nice postcard to go with the show. So 24hrs. before the show we are running around like crazy looking for a spot because we did'nt want to cancel the show. Finally the nice family that owns Omegas Restaurant agreed to letting us set up the show at their place which was right down the street from the original spot. We took some measurements of the place and went home to design and build 3 big walls for the show. We were up until 3 in the morning building walls and up at 6 am the next day to continue the work. We show up to the restaurant around 10 am and all of artist are there ready to work. We set up all the walls and hung all the work until 6pm, 1 hour before the show started. I had just enough time to go home and shower and get back. I get there and find a lady there from WFFA chanel 8 news who was very interested in making a story about the show. She did some filming and got some interviews from us. The venue quickly filled up and people were buying Sour Grapes shirts like crazy and looking at the large amount of work on display. There were people there from all over DFW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and our boy Heroin flew in from New York. It was good to see a large amount of young people in attendance because now we know that we are also reaching out to a younger generation. When I was a teenager, I would have never dreamed of going to an art show to see and meet artist that I was influenced by. I didnt have any art heroes as a teen. The Royal Rumble will go down as one of Dallas most succesfull underground artist show. The Sour Grapes Crew is only beggining, so you better believe there will be more....

The Shirts for 2008....

Here is the brand new video for the Shirts that were just made this weekend. Let me know if you want to purchase one asap becasue they may sell out soon.....

The New Shirts are HERE!!!!!

One of our side projects that we enjoy doing is making shirts. We do this as a fun project for all of the people that support us as a graffiti/art crew. A weird thing about this is that every time that we release a shirt design, they sell out within a week or two. The last shirt design gained a lot of attention and they were even published in a Dallas fashion magazine which was pretty awsome. The new batch of shirts were just finished this weekend, so if you are interested, get them fast before they sell out. Here is a look of the new shirts and a video of some of our older stuff.
