Emerson High School located in Gary, Indiana was the first, "Work - Study - Play" School founded in 1908 by William A Wirt. Emerson High opened in September of 1907 the same year Mr. Wirt became superintended for the Gary Public School System. He believed that that the quick urbanization occurring in the early twentieth century threatened the rural values necessary to complete early childhood development.

 

In 1981 Emerson High closed due to a dwindling population, but reopened in the mid 80's and transformed into a visual and performing arts school. The school was finally closed for good in 2008 due to mold issues and a budget shortfall. The schools occupants were moved to another nearby school while the old building has been left to decay.

 

Pictured above is a shot of what seems to be the band teachers office Mr. Daniel Lemmon. On the wall you can kinda see the decaying group photos of band classes headlined by a talent search banner asking students to "Live the Dream." It was quite surreal to witness.

This photo and my other abandoned work is on display along side my brothers at the Sunroom Cafe in Madison, Wisconsin on State Street until November 24th. If you have time please stop in and check it out. Seeing the print in person is always better than viewing it on a computer screen :-)

  

The 'Justice' system, it's a joke...

 

Dropped this a few months back for my man Amuk that got sent down for 18months for graf. What a joke - what's wrong with making the punishment fit the crime?! ie cleaning graf and streets in general.

 

And then you compare the 18 months he got to the 2 years that Jon Venables recently got (initially convicted for torturing and murdering a baby) for downloading child pornography and the police officer that got no charges against him for pushing over a man during the G20 riots and killing him... and they wonder why we think the justice system is a joke, it makes me sick

Painted this at the TATS HQ in minus conditions. Shouts to BG 183 and Nicer and a big thank you to Bio - top bloke.

 

Only one tune that could go with this...

Great day painting even if the river banks were on the verge of flooding the walls. Painted alongside Deps, Shine and Quest. Big shouts to the Amuks on this one - drunkenly staring at his canvasses the night before i think definitely influenced the fill on this one.

 

Soundtrack for this is www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7AzBIJoI

The day the deputy marshall Deps got to flex the logo font skills for the man Sure and his beat partner Giacomo. Must have been a day of straight letters as Daz flexed some serious letters too down at the Wick.

Rocked a wall with the man Vodka - was a great day made by two blokes feeling the effects of the England game the day before

 

Back in Brighton after a year or so away - was great to be back there, best place in the UK in my eyes. Props to Brighton rocks on the flick front, shamelessly stolen from his thread
