TRUCK PAINTING FOR VERIZON COMMERCIAL

IMG_9574

Earlier this year I was hired by Verizon to paint this panel truck for their new "Rule the Air" campaign.

Check out the timelapse video that the homie Jacob from Seeking The Throne hooked up!

Then below that, check out the actual commercial which you might have already seen
on tv.

I never thought my piece would be a transformer! Ha!

GAP: KIDS EVENTS

The GAP store (on Robertson in Beverly Hills) recently asked me to do a couple live painting events for them.

It may not be the usual type of live painting event I am used to doing, but what the hell (I mean heck), I'll do anything for the childrenz!

They are the future of the world, so why not expose them to some graff stylez!
