Naw…no beef. Just getting peoples attention I guess. Pretty dope though. Here’s what Shepard had to say…”OK, just so you drama queens know… GIANT is a friend of mine and was invited to do this piece. Sorry to deny you the joy of spreading juicy “beef” gossip, but I’m sure your quest for juicy “beef” can be satisfied elsewhere.  Enjoy!

ROJO®NOVA work in progress (week02) from ROJO® on Vimeo.

NOVA is a new kind of creative event, open to public, which takes over MIS, Museu da Imagem e do Som in São Paulo, Brazil, and presents live collaborated work in progress processes by more than 100 selected artists from around the world, featuring live art, music & audiovisuals; performances, video screenings, round tables, workshops and many unpredictable social consequences. 7 weeks of non-stop serious art fun. An interactive, full-environmental experience utilizing color, light, textures, music and design, in the form of collaborative and integrated compositions by more than 100 artists from around the world.

From hand-made illustrations to large scale murals to modern digital art; moving image to multimedia convergence, art will be made without the limitations or restrictions of traditional format and will rely heavily on the magic of live improvisation. During this constantly evolving and mutating exhibition, the creative process are to be witnessed as an ongoing work in progress rife with experimentation, challenging traditional and contemporary techniques and the bending of modern technology. Only for the happy, the gifted, the curious and the open minded.

LA TANK TOP! : )

Mike Giant’s career is the result of genuine curiosity and decades of drawing for five hours a day. He’s been—and remains—a world-class graffiti writer, tattooist and illustrator with his REBEL8 line. He’s made zines, skateboard designs, animations, prints, collages and stacks of interesting artist and company collaborations. He travels all over the world, rides his bikes, practices mindfulness, smokes a gang of weed, and is a fully tattooed goofball that one can bring to dinner parties.

Whether a page drawn in a friend’s black book amid collected signatures of other graffiti writers, or the large-scale works he hangs in galleries, Mike Giant’s drawings will fool you, even up close. The cleanliness, razor edges and solid blacks of the images all come from a Sharpie and Mike’s surgeon-steady hand, but look like they were printed. “In some ways, I took a lot of pride in that,” Mike explains. “As the graphic world has become more fixated on vector graphics, I think I wanted to show that I could replicate the same results by hand, thereby usurping the notion that computers are somehow ‘better,’ which I think is bullshit.”

The Visuals say enough so I don’t have too, perfectly complimenting the sonar pleasures.
