My New Tattoo Inspired By Basquiat
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Art, Culture
“Inspired by Basquiat, My chariots on fire.
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I’m tired.
Build me up. break me down. to build me up again.
They like, Hov we need you back so we can kill ya ass again” – Jay-Z
That’s the verse that was going through my mind while I was getting my tattoo of Basquiat’s crown. With so much craziness that’s been going on in the last few weeks, I felt like I needed a stress reliever. Nakim, Kwasi & I headed to Black Ink in Harlem for a meeting. I figured while I was there I would get my mind right. Hit the jump for more images.

Traveling To Mississippi With Jonny Shipes, Creative Control & Big K.R.I.T.
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Culture, Music
I had the opportunity to go to Mississippi with Jonny Shipes, Creative Control & Purp to visit K.R.I.T. in his home town, which was def. an experience. K.R.I.T. showed us around town while Creative Control shot 4 videos for him. I got to soak up real country living. I honestly thought is was going to be super racist because of the stories I heard, but it actually was pretty cool. Check out these photos of our journey though Mississippi. Photography By Purp.

A Weekend Of Art
Posted by Saint | Filed under Art, Culture
Artists, galleries, collectors & admirers from all around the world converged in NY this past weekend as several art shows/fairs took place. I didn’t get a chance to go over to all, most notably Scope and Pulse, as there were too many art/artists and so little time. But I did get a chance to check out The Armory Show (Pier 92 & 94), Volta, Pool, & as they were packing up, Fountain. After the jump are some of my favorites from the weekend.

HBO’s The Black List
Posted by Saint | Filed under Culture, Video/Film
As we approach the end of Black History month, the history of Blacks steadfastly continues. The stories, perspectives, and achievements of those that came before us sets precedent for what we will and can become. The Black List is an affirmation of that statement. This documentary, which is currently in it’s 3rd volume, is an assembly of short stories by premier Black icons, leaders, and citizens on race, struggle and achievement. I think it is necessary for any and everyone to watch it at least once. For more info on The Black List click HERE and/or HERE.
