Art is everywhere in Miami. And with Art Basel this week the city is turned out by artists and art enthusiasts worldwide. A simple trip to see a friend DJ at Awarehouse Gallery turned into a beautiful surprise quickly when we bumped into the world’s largest street level mural installation The Kohn Compound
Welcome to the world’s nightmare: hold it against me – we about to go H.A.M on Grey Poupon. Bourgie girl, grab her hand, f-ck that – she dont wanna dance; excuse my French, but I’m in France… I’m just saying: when in Rome – if you weren’t born a Caesar, might as well bard with Brutus #empirestateofdemise So do as the Romans do, and in such sit among those the elite who naturally bleed blue. Prince William ain’t do it right if you ask me, if I was him I woulda married Kate and Ashley – #jiggerishthings. Overt supremacy, with strong undertones of servitude to the throne of inherited American royalty at its most Shakespearean… Britney Jean Spears – don’t let she get in her zone, #toxictragedies Louisiana-style Lady Macbeth, Ophelia, Juliet… the illiterate that could write an American tale of nouveau riche royalty; Hov and Yeezy – Othellos in tow. Miami swelter, Carribean vibe, Bahamian drum and bass, Bermudian Triangle of Pop – inverted everything. Hov would never share the mic with Spears, but Yeezy would – and did; though they are at two ends of the spectrum, Hov and Jean earned their passports the old fashioned way: crime pays, sex sells – passports please. They played to our devious vices, you are the company you keep: welcome to The Crackhouse; where this is a problem, this is not music/I hope you find it – ‘cos we about to lose it.
American Icons, a recent solo exhibition by Hernando Alzate was nothing new under the sun. But that isn’t saying much. What is new these days? All forms of creation rely heavily on the work made before it. However, what American Icons lacked in new ideas, it made up for with visually stimulating images and an in depth process that if anything is a technical achievement. In one piece, he’ll evoke the pop masters of the past, Warhol and Lichtenstein. In another he nods to the pop master of the present, check out his Mr. Brainwash nod in the above image.
This street art piece was speaking to me directly.Its painted on the side of the Hardcore Art Contemporary Space.
After the recent Little Dragon show in Miami I ran up to lead vocalist Yukumi Nagano to give her some artwork that I created for her and the band. I’ve been a fan of Little Dragon’s music since 2008 and I gotta thank my homie Tino for putting me on to their music. Thanks Allie for getting me the Machine Dreams album. Little Dragon’s music has enhanced my life in so many ways 
Thank you guys!

Last week was freaking insane Miami’s streets was exploding with art everywhere.I finally got the chance to experience Art Basel and I must say it was amazing. Seeing all that art reminds me that art is very important to the evolution of our culture. Even though I was out and about enjoying the art scene I still made time to design some t-shirts for a company called Rah Threads.Enough talk here are the photos
According to the Art Markets everywhere, Art Basel was a success. Most galleries are already reporting huge figures for art sales. Adding to the extensive list of venerable Los Angeles area galleries which made a mass exodus down to Southern Florida this past weekend, Roberts & Tilton made waves at Art Basel Miami Beach with their diverse stable of contemporary artists. Exhibiting an impressive selection of primarily new work from Barry McGee, Kehinde Wiley, Ed Templeton, Titus Kaphar, Noah Davis, Jimmy Baker, Ai Yamaguchi, Adam Pendleton and Ellen De Meutter, their cross-country journey will provide the rare opportunity to witness such a large group of well-established, genre-transcending artists in a single setting. The above image, shot by Corinne Stevie is from blank’s show at Blah featuring Kehinde Wiley, a & more.
