Art & Sole at Art & Soul

Thanks to everyone that stopped out last night for the opening of Art&Sole. It was great to see everyone and there was ALOT going on throughout the shop. From the AudioDynamkiz 4 turntables up front keeping the music going, to the live sneaker painting from Rebellion Customs, skate and sneaker videos projecting on the wall, out the back to the grill keeping the burgers flipping, the crew skating the ramps set up in the back, right down to the display of some of the most desired and collectable sneakers in the WORLD.
  George and I worked at the warehouse over the last couple weeks preparing the display installation. We wheat pasted a over 50 feet x 4 feet high masonite border to hang over the sneakers. Featuring a collage of several 4 foot sneakers, boxes, and a sharpshooters dream collection of muggers. We got to Art & Soul around 10:30am (same time as the humidity) and didn't waste a second to plan, trim, and hang the background. Derek was a big help for us by transporting, providing cover from the rain while George overcame his fear of power saws,and helping make sure I didn't take a 8 foot drop to Earth. Apparently when ladders say "This is not a step" they aren't fucking around.
  Thanks again to everyone that stopped out and everyone that shows continued support for the local underground art and music scene. A huge Thank You goes out to Po and HomeBase , AudioDynamikz , Rebellion Customs , George , Brent Nolasco ,and all the skaters. A very special Thank You to everyone at Art & Soul Tattoo/ Art Gallery. They have a beautiful studio and were very accommodating and helpful with us running around their spot for over 12 hours. Thank you all.
  Here's the flicks I ended up with, I'll bootleg more as I see them pop up elsewhere. I wish I had a better shot of each of the wall sections and any of the toy cabinet,but the show runs for the next 2 weeks so stop by and check it out yourself if you haven't yet.


George,fine tuning during setup.
