step 2 .  i ll post the 4 i used to work with the black. this is all being filmed also.  again each step of the way i m isolating a group of t s.  so one of a kind fuckers.  i took an image for screen printing,  then, as the painting progresses, it is a one of a kind screen printed t, as a tool for a painting, in a place that will sell you a board for 30w/grip….

wtf

… i get by with a little help from my friends…

story on this’  about a year and a half back i did a version of this knife and camera, it said love machine.  never did anything with it(it was on the site, may of 09)  then i re did it with xanders knife recently.  then i got goldchains comment about the berrics shirt, which i had never seen.  but i thought the quote was good, but i thought it was on the berrics shirt.  so i then talked with mr. new mex. and he was mentioning the shirt and people would think it was a rip off.  i tried looking for the shirt previously but couldn t find it.  being that i m not a 14 year old skate rat, i never go to the berrics website.  anyways with mr new mexico s help i saw it , he told me it was their splash page, so basically the entire world of skating has seen it and probably would think i bit it.  

i went to taos new mexico this past saturday where i spent an evening with goldchain talking art and bullshitting and came to find that the comment on everyman about the graphic , which i thought was funny, was his(goldchains and not on a shirt already) and his analysis on the everyman knife graphic as compared to the “we shoot skaters” one on the berrics. so i in turn am using this one as a take on a graphic, whether or not the imagery was used first or second who cares this one is more in your face, and a holla to all the people who view a grass roots site, comprised of contributers and over the hill body builders

anyways i liked the graphic and it was cool to be able to quote goldchain who like the idea of stabbing skaters i guess, he fuckin hates em…  actually he doesn t like the berrics we shoot skaters because they don t shoot ’skaters’ only industry dudes, fair enough.

this shirt is sick,  goldchain,  thanks a lot,  send me that graphic you were talking about and let s make it happen.

this shirt is at 360 now, and i ll make you one on the spot if you don t like the colors, or if you want a hoodie or something bring one and i ll do it live for you for 10 bucks,  other than that, through the weekend this shirt is 15 bucks, then it goes to 20- don t even think about it johnny

this is the worst of the day…and that s good

wait til you see the frontside and kickflip pics.  5 ws probably,  360 for sure.

theres a bunch of these from here.  there is one from this particular shot that is pretty sick.  it ll be up in 360 by the weekend,  hopefully wednsday

when you re a work horse like big m candelaria this is just throw away

big t, big shifty. kinda arty but that is how i fuckin roll.  anyways, big t also got a fuckin sick line at an under abused spot in the greater sumport area.

this is the worst photo he took today.  the other ones are going towards his interview.

never heard of this guy, which is good, because this part is sick.  fuck yes.
