A hidden warehouse:
Location for the Pow Wow Hawaii 2012 Youth Painting Session
I had no idea what I was walking into too. Awed by the colors and creative interaction, I could not stop clicking away. A crazy space with so many different types of street art.
This is the first wall up and more to come!
After rounding up the 30+ participants, we headed straight to Fresh Cafe / Loft In Space to do the Hawaiian blessing. This kicked off the start off Pow Wow Hawaii 2012. Today included the wall tours, Loft In Space set up and the designation of wall and paint cans.

Here are some of Pow Wow Hawaii 2012 participants and friends of the Pow Wow Hawaii crew. Let the painting begin!
I can honestly say I have been slacking off on my art for a VERY LONG time now; and the fault is my mine because I have been lazy. Now more than ever I need to do what makes me happy. At the end of the day being able to draw, imagine, and create makes up the very essence of me. There has been a lot of shit going down in my personal life and art has been my release.
I’ve decided to try different mediums. I usually stick to pencil, pen, and ink but now I aspire to become a master in watercolor. It’s something about watercolor that brings me back to my childhood; that carefree attitude and feel of not giving a fuck I guess. Regardless watercolor is dope 
For some reason I think I can just do whatever I want without practicing or sketching first (I’m an idiot). As an example, people ask me all the time
“How did you get so good with makeup?”
My answer is always PRACTICE. This is what I need to do and stick to it.
Here is a preview of the current pieces I have been working on… Hope you like it
with the new year i felt it was time for a change in location and scenery (plus the added value of cheaper rent!). Opportunity presented itself and i ran with it. six moves over the past eight and a half years and i never once felt inclined to buy furniture outside of the bare essentials. This was all due to the fact that i’ve never resigned myself to living in hawaii forever, and figured that the less i own, then the less i have to deal with when the time to move away arrives. Although, with this most recent move i’ve found myself itching to start buying furniture. The downside to this, is that being a designer i don’t want to settle for cheap and “in the mean time” crap. I want the good stuff and i want it now! Thanks to pesky “no shipping to hawaii” clauses from most of the mainstream furniture retailers, we here in hawaii have slim pickins when it comes to furnishing our dwellings.
below is my “i want now!” list for my bedroom
i want now, item no. 1: desk
i want now, item no. 2: desk chair
i want now, item no. 3: nightstand 1
it want now, item no. 4: nightstand 2
i want now, item no. 5: desk lamp
i want now, item no. 6: dresser lamp
i want now, item no. 7: nightstand lamp
this will be a painfully slow process to completion….ugh
“Willoughby Windows transforming 12 vacant storefronts into a street level gallery that brings art to the community.”
By accident one day I discovered this amazing display of visuals. As I walked in front of each storefront I instantly felt a sense of peace and happiness. I can honestly say this time Pictures do not do it justice. I am so fortunate to live in such a beautiful city. Brooklyn you are simply the SHIT.
Here are some of my favorite windows…
Hellbent’s attention to detail, even down to the floor foliage amazed me.
