ADIDAS #unitealloriginals in ATL

jarrettjamison — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:11:42 +0000

So yesterday there was a big event in Atlanta that was sponsored by Adidas Originals. Artists, Michael Sieben, Jeremy Fish, and Morning Breath (click names to visit their sites) collaborated on an exquisite corpse. For those that do not know what an exquisite corpse is, it was a game that the Surrealists artists played some time ago, where one artist would start a drawing and pass it to the next, but the artist that received the drawing could not see what the other one had done. The piece is revealed and the drawings link together. Enough of me talking, all I need to say is that this event was dope! Art, Good People, a FREE Danny Brown Concert, Beer, What more do you need?!?! ATL showed out last night. Enjoy!

Oh and did I meantion Danny Brown performed for FREE!?!?

Shouts to Complex Mag and Adidas. This was beautiful!

Soooo, this is probably one of the coolest and beautiful websites that I have seen in a long time. The Team at Jumpman 23 put together this informative site about Michael Jordan, his shoes and the stories behind them. To all my sneaker heads and those that are not, I hope you enjoy, learn, and admire this great work. Salute!

Some Screen Shots from the Website. This is Awesome! Enjoy!

Brief: Islam has an image problem in this country. Fix it with a poster campaign.

“We Wear The Same Cloth” references the similarities between the scarves worn by Muslim women and The Virgin Mary.

Posters are placed in the environment to bring awareness to the similarity.

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,000 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 8 years to get that many views.

Diamond Inside: A Graffiti Affair In Capetown

jarrettjamison — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 05:49:56 +0000

This is a really interesting project and awesome mural work for a great cause. http://diamondinsidethemovie.wordpress.com

from the Facebook page:

Diamond Inside follows a collective of mural artists from Madrid called Boa Mistura, during their trip to Cape Town, South Africa. The camera follows their time living and interacting with the people from Woodstock and Khayelitsha: a slumtown where lives dwell between the high rates of poverty and AIDS. Boa Mistura represents their own message to the people of Africa, through several murals on different buildings, intending to instill a mindset to get out of the deepest poverty, aiming to “promote change surrounding yourself with images and colors that reflect what you want to achieve”,to future generations. Check out the pictures

This is very powerful stuff and a movement that is inspiring youth all over South Africa right now. Kudos to the artists, because this is a dope project. Hopefully we can all find the diamonds inside of us.

About Boa Mistura

BOA MISTURA, meaning “good mixture” in portuguese, is about love for graffiti, color and life, through the diversity of styles and points of views brought forward by each member of the group. Different perspective complimenting and influencing each other to come up with something better every time. Five heads, ten hands, one heart.

Since J Dilla is one of my favorite producers/DJs of all time, I thought that this figurine was pretty awesome and wanted to share it with you all. Shouts to Phil Young Song for a dope design. The figurine is set to be released by the J Dilla Foundation sometime this year.

Much Love, RIP J Dilla

Art N Cardboard

Hey Everyone,

I apologize that it has taken me so long to post something. I have been swamped with schoolwork and other projects but I have stumbled upon some great work by evol/ctink. They spray paint cityscapes onto cardboard boxes. I thought that they were photos of cities at first and then noticed how intricate the work is. Check em out and visit the site www.evoltaste.com

These paintings are really interesting and I’m curious to see how they are created. Once again sorry for the delay on the post and Thanks for all of the support!

Peace,

All about the Shadows

jarrettjamison — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 19:17:21 +0000

So I stumbled upon this artist Kumi Yamashita.Kumi received her bachelor in fine arts at the Cornish College of the Arts in Washington and obtained her masters in fine art from the Glasgow School of Art in the UK. In her series entitled Light & Shadow Kumi uses a single light source along with an assortment of perfectly placed objects to create incredible shadow silhouettes and artwork on walls. I had to do a double take on every piece. Her website is awesome too. Check out Yumi’s work HERE . She now resides and works in New York.

Red Hook Summer

jarrettjamison — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:16:03 +0000

It doesn’t take much to gain my interest when I hear about a Spike Lee Joint coming out. He is one of my favorite directors to ever do it. Positive message, dope art direction, and all around smooth aesthetic. This should not disappoint. The movie poster is cool as well. Red Hook Summer opens to limited release August 10. I hope its coming to ATL.
