CUBA _ A Short Action Sequence Starring Mirtha Michelle

Posted by English | Posted on 03-09-2010

Check out this cool action short my homie Mirtha Michelle produced and starred in with. Her goal was to show people  she could do action so she decided to film a 2 minute short with some of the skills she learned while training with fight/stunt coordinator Larnell Stovall. It turned out pretty cool so she decided to share it with her friends and i in turn decided it to share it with you.

Of Our Youth – RETNA • EL MAC

Posted by English | Posted on 29-08-2010

Big shout out to the homie  Teek The Sneak  for putting me on to this dope video!! RETNA and EL MAC have teamed up for another mural, this time in Culver City. Their newest mural, titled Of Our Youth, can be seen on the side of Graphaids art supply store, on La Cienega between Jefferson and Washington.

The imagery and text used in this mural was inspired by their time spent at Skid Row, while painting their previous mural. The artists met a man by the name of Ralph Woodruff aka Chato and were inspired by this man’s past hardships, experiences and overall outlook on life. His ability to recognize his mistakes and atone for his sordid past was something that resonated with RETNA. The text which reads, “So today I’m trying to change a few things to rectify the situation of my past. So today I’m looking towards the future (of our youth highlighted)” is a quote taken from their conversation.
The mural was made possible by
graphaids.comriveraandrivera.com, and rvca.com

Mister Cartoon, Cope2, & Sen2 Bomb New York City

Posted by English | Posted on 10-08-2010

After my post about the Mr. Cartoon X Nike collaboration my boy Trauma put me on to this video featured on Skee.TV. Apparently back in february some genius at  Metro PCS decided to hire the infamous graffiti artists Mister Cartoon, Cope2, & Sen2 Bomb for a gorilla style marketing campaign. The ideal of the campaign was to stir up attention towards the brand by sanctioning the three graff  gods to put pieces on local Metro PCS stores in New York City and it make it appear as if the stores were bombed by the their favorite graffiti artist.

Primitive Presents Justene Jaro in Underwear & Nike Air Max 90 Infrared

Posted by English | Posted on 24-07-2010

One of my all time favotite Nike runners are back once again!!!  As many of you know, The Nike Air Max 90 has become quite the icon since it’s debut in 1990. It is the second running shoe created by Tinker Hatfield that displays a Visible Air Window on it’s exterior. No matter how many times the original Infrared colourway sees a retro release, it’s re-arrival is always welcomed with open arms. Being huge fans of classic runners as well, the peeps at  Primitive decided to offer a tee to go along with the kicks. They recently caught up with the beautiful & curvaceous JUSTENE JARO to join in the fun. They asked her if she was down to pose in underwear & Infrareds, and she was cool with the concept. This is a behind the scenes video from that photo shoot…

Hilarious New Old Spice Commercial

Posted by English | Posted on 20-07-2010

Thank you, Old Spice and the Internet, as this week you have given us another commercial featuring the hilarious, heroic and always amazingly scented Isaiah Mustafa. I recently saw this commercial in the movie theatre while waiting to watch Inception (*The Best movie of 20X) and knew instantly I was going to post it. The new commercial features Mustafa log-rolling, circular-sawing, cliff-diving, motor-biking and stealing hearts once again. If commercials can be legendary, then these commercials are legendary. I mean their commercials for Odor Blocking Body Wash and their normal Body Wash have gotten over 18 million hits on YouTube, and a contract for their star, Isaiah Mustafa to star in an NBC sitcom. As far as I’m  concerned this set of Old Spice commercials are up there with the “I Love you man…” commercials Budweiser ran in the 90’s.
