Happy Truck Thursday
NOTE: I will be offline the next few days - I have company visiting from out of town.
So I may be slow in commenting!
Here's some hints: It was painted in the spring in Minnesota. It was a sketch. I used all Rustoleum and American Accents with Krylon Fixative tips and a Spray and Wash fat cap for highlights. Some of the colors were; Rasberry, Grape, Summer Squash and Teal. This piece was on the bridge wall right next to the Sears towers. It was actually painted in the daytime but with careful watch out to the streets above. I was only in AKB for one year. The piece I painted after this one was on the front of Intermedia Arts with Crest and Self and said Graffiti Funk.
Great Guesses from all of you that participated. 1994 was the year when the Tracks really started to get busy (Even though they had been active for many years). Competition was getting pretty fierce for space. A lot of Minnesota pioneering was going on down at the Tracks. Guys like Mope/Kept (who rocked characters), Ewok HM, Crisis, Chen, Spel, Meta, Pocer and many others had decided that it was the place we all were going to really focus our energies on. I was hitting fr8s at this time as well but on a much more limited basis early in '94 but would almost exclusively hit them by the end of '94. I would have loved to say that I painted this in the late 80's but I really only focused on bombing during that time and quick 2-5 color pieces. Which I actually did quite a few but wasn't really focused on getting photos (must of been my bomber mentality). It sucks now 'cuz I'd love to have some of those shots in my collection. Which is a good lesson to anyone new starting up, always take photos of your pieces. Even though you may think they are wak (and most likely they are in the beginning), someday, you will want to look back at them and see where you came from or what your style looked like when you first started. As for this piece, I wasn't particularly happy with it at the time because most of my wall pieces at this time didn't really look like this. This was more of a train style piece that I had probably drawn up with no bottom to the sketch, like it was a panel piece on the bottom of a subway car. I really was just trying to do something different with my style, to keep it different then everything else that was down there. Also, I was smashing a lot of bridges down there at the time and really didn't care who I was going over. I don't recall ever buffing a wall down there but I was always painting on freshly buffed walls or going over recently pieced walls that just were really wak. (wak compared to everything else at the time) There was probably about 25 writers using the tracks as our main wall spot in the city, until the Wall of Fame became a known spot. Once we saw the attention the Wall of Fame was getting (it was located off a main highway in downtown Minneapolis), the tracks became a lesser desired spot and was left for all the other writers and toys in the city to paint. We would still go down there to hit the bridges on occasion but at a much lesser degree. It was like a been there, done that, type of mentality. From that, writers would soon branch out and pioneer new places all over the Twin Cities in search of fame, privacy from other writers and the ultimate spot to leave burners. Some writers spawned new places that once known, got rocked by everyone hard, others found the cutty spots that until recently (last 8-10 years) had stayed relatively unknown. It was a great time-period for Minnesota/Midwest Graff, with writers from other cities coming here often to paint and check out the scene and leave behind a piece or technique for us to learn from or be influenced off of. Everything that was happening at that time was like adding a piece to a complex puzzle that would shape the future Graffiti scene in Minnesota. Good times were had with great walls to paint. Nowadays, I would kill to have those walls back. Currently the city has buffed all of them and built a citywide bike-trail with parks and other things within it, to take the place of our graffiti relics. They have placed video surveilance equipment up all over the place and the police patrol it often. That doesn't mean it still can't happen. It just will never be what it once was.
Yea..
So i rocked this outline while i was in Japan last year.. Best thing about my time there is that i have plenty of time to do style calisthenics(when I do outline after outline that are out of my character).. Ive been playing around with the idea for a minute but it manifested itself on paper then.. so i rocked it.
Funny thing is Im headed out the door to hop on a plane to Japan now.. so you know what to expect.
Its all on the table.. Come get some muthafuckas.. Im fully loaded.
ingredients:
Rustoleum Smoke grey
Rustoleum Charcoal grey
Rustoleum Satin Black

Another old outline from my Japan sessions.. New one for 2010.
what a bitch it was to piece the photos together on this one..
So its kinda like a style calisthenics i go through when im sketching. This one is kind of a throwback to 92 for me when i was mainly a character writer and did countless "Cheif Totem" themed joints so i decided 2 years ago in my japan session to bring it back up.
so come get some...

Krylon khaki
Krylon Leather brown
Krylon almond
Krylon Grape frost

Wore my work boots into the office... Took a break to write an email and thought I'd fire this off... Note to self, feature these guys in a real pic...

I've had these boots for years now. They're great. The only thing I wish they had are steel toes, but I don't really need those.
Also, the marker there is probably the best marker in the world. It's got a blurb on there that you can leave the top off for two weeks and it will still work, which I can attest is true. I've had that marker for 5 years now.
The metal beams that once supported the US 1 Overseas Highway are slowly rusting through on the Old Bridge spanning Ohio and Missouri Key Channel in the Florida Keys.

Yea..
So ive been in the lab lately..
this was a quick servem up for the locals here in good old ATL.. at a newer taco joint.
Someone whispered "Totem, you fell off.." cause I havent been painting much in the city( or at least the two damn streets they think the city is)... so i decided to do a quick one for them to look at while im falling off the plane someplace warm.. aint that a sexy thought?
Im kicking it doing outlines watching my kids play with animals not native to America, while someone is eating tacos in a hipster shopping hell?
and this one was a freestyle..
I got a big buildup of New joints from my back to Japan books.. i know yall will like em.. get ready.

It is the end of day 2 of spray painting this plastic Barbie scale furniture. Things went pretty smoothly with minimal paint buckling (badly on lamps and a few spots on the aqua cabinets). I sanded those down when they dried and painted over them. Can't really tell.
I used Rustoleum American Accents spray paint (Walmart) meant for plastic (tan and country white) on a lot of it and I used it as a base coat for the aqua and silver items (not plastic paint). I used "Mineral" chalk paint by Waverly over the aqua seat cushions and wiped it off with a paper towel followed by creme wax to seal it (after the paint dried). I like the soft aqua color it created.
I plan to fill gaps in sofa and one chair with Sobo craft glue and then top coat with tan spray paint. I did that with one chair today and it minimized the gaps. Then, I will chalk paint the upholstery a soft color (not sure, yet). When I am calm, I will paint the inside of the oven a gray color with chalk paint. I need a steady hand --
so not tonight. I hope to age some of the stuff with brown wax (chalk paint product).
Overall, I love the color scheme and cannot wait to get this into a diorama for some lucky dolls.
All the Rustoleum in the world wont't save this sweet ride.

Hey guys, so it's been a while since I've posted, and, since I've made some recent upgrades and purchases to my airsoft gun, I figured you might want an update!
This is my Mk18 MOD 1 that I've had for a while, recently sold my older mk18 rail to turn around for a profit, then bought this one and painted it rustoleum camo series brown, which is surprisingly close to the real Daniel Defense color. I also recently upgraded my light from an Insight WMX-200 replica to a Surefire m600c Scout replica. I also bought some Magpul PMAGs to give the cool, operator look to my loadout!
Finally, I sold my EOTech EXPS2-3 replica and bought this 553, which is just as solid and I think looks just as cool!
Expect a loadout picture soon, as I've gotten quite a bit of new things to show off!
Oh, and yes, Lego will come in the next 2-3 days, don't worry!
So as you all have been out there trying to thaw out, Me, Plush and Teror have been at it.. a couple of quickies.. been a minute since the last time i did all red.. Plush decided he wanted to paint a section of the Temple white and do some realistic lips.. when we saw it.. "cant let that go to waste." so we ran a train on her... yup..
