IZ THE WIZ (R.I.P)

We put on Style Wars in the tattoo shop last night during the last session... So we went online to see what the east coast pioneers were up to today, when we noticed IZ THE WIZ had recently passed away "IZ" was there when it all started and made an impact on the Graffiti World.

WORDS TO LIVE BY...

You can never go wrong when you get the words you live by tattooed to remind you of where you are in life...

ITS A FAMILY AFFAIR!

SOUL SUNDAY

Jill Scott is one of our favorite Soul Singers. Invest in her music and try not to make to many kids in the process.

GET GRATEFUL!

Sometimes I think that everyone has seen the films that I Love.. but I forget that there is a new generation out there that thinks Biggie Smalls is Old School. For those of you that do not know Daniel Day-Lewis its time to get excited and go buy his movies. Like these two trailers. These are films that need your full attention, put your cell phone on silent, kick back and educate on great film making.

POR VIDA!

Here are a couple fliks of some legendary lowriders from Lifestyle Car Club Los Angeles..
In the days of Donks and Rimed Out SUV's, Lowriders are the Soul and Heartbeat of the Ghetto. No matter what trends come and go, we can look to our past for direction of how to cutomize with taste.

FALLEN ANGEL

This piece was inspired by Led Zeppelin's Fallen Angel with a twist..

C.R.E.A.M.

DON'T YOU LOVE HER..

Lowriding is a way of life.. You have to drive these cars even if they are show quality. Each one of these cars represents a different taste. There is nothing better than cruising on a Sunday with your friends and family.. It is one of my hobbies and my form of relaxation. This particular Sunday we were taking this line up to a chapel in Burbank for my wedding. That's the only reason you do not see my wife and kids with me. Hitting switches and watching peoples reactions is the pay off for the hard work that goes in to these pieces of Art.

COTTON CADI

This is a look at the piece that has been added to the collection of murals hidden throughout Cotton Cadi..

The event went better than we expected.
Shoe collectors came out in force and supported the
Livestrong x Cartoon event. If you didn't already read or hear about it...
There was a big anticipation of what the price of the shoes were going to be, we decided to sell them for the price of Free.99 cause of the success of our store and all the support of our faithful collectors.
