In celebration of Black History Month, Nike approached me to help them paint a mural to kick off an event at Gonzales Park in Compton last weekend.
They had a great image designed by Fuse Green and they asked if I could replicate it as a mural.
This was no easy task because of the level of detail especially in the background.
So I decided to create the mural using a combination of stencils, spray paint, and acrylic.
I had my boy Ando at search+resQ help me out with creating these mad stencils:
I hired the sign painting skills of the homie SINER LTS to help me out.
The result was pretty tight and seamless!
Along with the unveiling of the mural, I also led a community stencil workshop session with the kids in the neighborhood. I used some of the images from the mural as well as a few Man One specials. As you can see they ate it up!

VEGAS MAGIC: DICKIESGIRL INSTALLATION
I was tapped on the shoulder to create an original and eye grabbing installation for the Dickiesgirl booth at the Las Vegas MAGIC Show in February.
Here's the video of the process:
I was given 500 pairs of denim in 23 colorful styles to pull off the unique art piece.
On the second wall of denim, the pants were arranged in non-sequential format. The result was a much more abstract design.
The installation at MAGIC was a success to say the least.
Thanks to Migs and Wence for assisting me to get this done on time!
Look out for Man One custom Dickiesgirl denim soon to a store near you!

TIP THIEVES IN VEGAS
While I was out in Vegas for MAGIC last week, me and the homie Vyal rocked these walls. Thanks to the homie Ras One for hooking up the spot!
I call this piece "Tip Thieves":
Here are the little bastards...
Putting the smash on...
Vyal and his eyeball abstractness:
