NEW JTS BICYCLE PRINT

Check out this super cool print by JTS:



We asked JTS what kind of paper they used and what inspired them to create their print and this is what they had to say:

"I used newsprint on half and unbleached archival on the other half. I figured there would be allot of fixies and cruisers and some low rider bikes so I wanted to mix it up and hark back to the real old school shit."

This print and many other cool prints will be on display and for sale during the Pedals and Prints exhibition (April 3rd through April 27th). You will also be able to purchase prints online at www.crewest.com.

KEVIN CAMERON

Introducing Kevin Cameron:

"As an illustrator, Kevin believes first and foremost in telling good stories for folks of all ages and persuasions. His biggest influences stress that, above all else, accessibility, inclusion, joy, and wonder are the driving forces of great stories - and a boon to his work. That is why his work spans many industries – from toys, comics, games, and clothing for companies big and small. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a flexible guy to boot, always willing to expand his knowledge, learn new processes, and dive headlong into getting the job done!"

Kevin Cameron is a participating artist for the Pedals and Prints Exhibition on view from April 3rd through April 27th, 2010.

“Imagine a Mickey [Mouse] wearing Air Jordans, leaning on a Moët bottle crowned with a dukey rope chain around his neck, dripping in gold and saying your favorite songs hook.” This was the beginning. This is the future. This is classic hip-hop style. Welcome to the world of Shirt King Phade, one-third of the unrivaled founding fathers’ of cartoon and graffiti inspired airbrushed clothing, The Shirt Kings and member of the legendary TC-5 crew of NYC. Legendary for one of a kind, of-the-moment wearable works of art that adorned t-shirts, jeans, jackets -whatever you could think of – on the backs of everyone from LL Cool J, to Salt-n-Pepa, to Theo Huxtable in the early 80’s, Phade laid THE foundation for the street inspired urban revolution we now call ‘hip-hop fashion.’” - Citizen LA, 2009

MANY TIMES HAVE PAST BY BRENT NOLASCO

Introducing "Many Times Have Past" by Brent Nolasco







"This custom was a lot of work. It seems like it demanded and wanted my full attention like a child. The concept behind this custom was to sculpt a little more then I use to. The paint job is to be abstract and defined all at the same time. So when you are look at it you visually go from things being transparent ,translucent to defended. To construct the piece I used Ave Sculpt to sculpt the head and other parts of the body. With all my custom I like to use a variety of objects and materials to make the custom." - Brent Nolasco

Many Times Have Past is to be released on March 27th, 2010 at Crewest during the Bic Buddy Custom Show.

FADED MEMORIES BY N.C. WINTERS

Introducing "Faded Memories" by N.C. Winters.
