Oaktown T-shirts

I came up with this line awhile ago, and finally got these printed spring of '06
thanks to Serrel and Malik at Peoples Choice Printing.These logo bites are just a taste, more just for the fun of it, I have all original deisigns on the for this line on the way. I still have some, They are 20$ each. Email me if you want one.


























this is how the backs looks. The Hyphy and Panther shirt has a cityscape, while the Oakland has the oaktree from in front of city hall.















































This image was the opening shot in the Keak the Sneak interview in issue 40 of magazine Mass Appeal this month. As you can see keak is rocking a hyphy shirt while his boy in the back has on a panther shirt. Large up to photographer Peter Graham he made it happen.
















Oaklands new Mayor Ron Dellums reping the movement, my good buddy and ex co teacher is dellums right hand man and made this shot happen the night of the election , large up yerself Mikiel. Ron gives me allot of hope and makes me want to stay in Oakland.


















This is Clyde Carson of The Team, recording artist and co-creator of Hyphy Juice. This dude is huge,and hella cool. I was so flattered when I met him on the street and he asked about my shirt (the Oakland shirt). He likes stuff that says Oakland. He reps tough for the Town. I screwed up this shot, he had black and white nikes on too.

















This is home town hero T-Cash, the revolutions next flame spitter. The Panther shirt is right at home here.

BOUNCE killed it

Stat stayed up all night with me so that I could bring a flick to the Service, It was an amazing moving experience. Ive never had someone so colose to me die, and at this point Ive done many paintings honoring peoples and thier lifes, but doing one so personal really helped me to heal and greive. Its in some little ally at Western and Montgomery in culver city LA and is all spraypaint. He was agreat guy, I really loved him allot. He did very little harm in this world and a whole lot of good. I miss you Grandpa!
