Hip-hop head or not, if you grab one of Murs’ classic albums and give it a close listen, you’ll be head-nodding in no time. Lyrics on point, message on point, and status on point. The Living Legends crew will live on forever as these Murs posters go up all over the place.

There are serious, life-defining issues in our lives we can rarely comprehend. The average person wouldn’t dare believe a single group of the most wealthy and powerful people would meet once a year to determine our fates. The evidence is piling up and the web is moving faster than ever. We’re either headed for the NWO or Idiocracy; the latter being the front-runner.

Don’t call it a comeback. I’ve always been here, just laying back working on my new hand-crafted pieces. The likeness is 100% Chris Farley and the rest is Digital’s Demise. Check the art in person on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, CA.

I’ve put up a shit-ton of street art around Hollywood yesterday, some new and some classic. I’ve got stacks of artwork in my trunk and I’m in a rush to get it out everywhere and anywhere that I can!

LabArt recently had a gallery showing featuring an all female ensamble of street artists. Around the same time, I put up a few Digital Ghosts around Los Angeles strung up with zip-ties on street poles. The day after I completed my mission, I received an email from a fellow father.
Big H and his son Skyler went to the opening, and on the way there, they saw one of the ghost’s still in tact on La Brea. Like any good dad, he told him on the way back they’d pick it up so that the art could stay up while people were attending the show. Thank you for letting me get my shine. But on the way out… bummer. The ghost was gone.
I got the email and immediately got to working on a custom canvas. The results are featured below in the photos as well as in the behind-the-scenes video above. I have a young daughter, and when she has aspirations of her own, I hope I can do what Big H did for his son.
Thank you to Skyler for a piece of his own art. It will be framed shortly and placed on the wall of my art studio.

There’s a ton of shit going down on this planet right now. Too many topics to tackle and too many minutes spent contemplating. I’ve got a few new Hipster Baby pastes concerning the absolution of the United States’ space program (NASA) up around Hollywood as well as the Hipster rocking her shades.
In a few years, kids growing up won’t even know what an astronaut is unless they watch Toy Story. One less career to dream of as a child.

Growing up, I had a German Shepherd. She wasn’t your average dog; she could’ve been the pup in the ‘Jurassic Bark‘ episode of Futurama. Strong, powerful, loyal and respectful. Training her was an ease. She managed to bond two brothers with a 15 year age-gap and an entire family. She was always by my father’s side, who always wanted a pure bred German Shepherd since he was a kid. Her bed was right beside my father’s side of the bed. When going on walks, the leash was always on but never really needed to be used. She trusted us and we trusted her. 13 years later, her kidneys and liver were obsolete, along with her hips. It would be days between her meals, and even then they were minuscule. Her walks went from 300 feet to 5 feet of severe struggling. Our love grew even stronger for our ailing pup.
I discussed with my brother about purchasing some McDonald’s burgers and Chicken McNuggets. Fast food was never in her diet, this was a treat like no other. My mother and father told us that Whisper hadn’t wanted to eat for a few days (since family dinner), and that she’s never liked bread so it would be difficult. But when we brought the food, she gobble it all up immediately from our hands.
We stayed with her until the end, and the hardest yet best thing to do was end her suffering. If you ever have to put your dog to sleep, please be with them all the way through. Hold them and touch them and make them feel comfortable. If you can enjoy all the fun times, you can help her to a happier place when she is in pain.
I’m taking things a bit slower right now. Maybe some new inspired art will come of this. Reflective and intense.
Whisper made me love my family even more and make me want to spend all the time I can with them before the clock spins too quickly. Then it’s a wrap for all of us.
