Ears to the Streets

So our latest video features some art work from the notorious 'Stick Alley' in San Francisco's Mission district. The SF Chronicle ran a piece on muralist, Dan Rauch's project to put up honorable graf pieces to thwart taggers from defacing often vandalized walls about the town. He teamed up with our local fave Mark Bode (pronounced boh-dee)and urban icon Mike Giant to force field the Episcopal Church of St. John.
Peep the flicks. We also feature some of this alley from last week's photo shoot for our 'arsenal' video now posted up at our podcast site.

There's a link to the article to the right under: Rauch, Bode, and Giant

Bode Finished It.

It looks like the Peralta mural project over in West Oakland had to be completed by Mark on the dolo. It's sitting pretty on a rainy Saturday, here in the Bay.
More flix to come. It was a nice little destination on my weekend errands drive with my son.

Just cruising to the upcoming gift mix for this month, also soon to come to the podcast site. I'm coming through with a little something for the intro. But with school in...it's a hustle.

Saturday Richness in the Town

I was told by a dear friend that a state of sapped creativity is a byproduct of ill communication... or a communication blockage, altogether.

Yeah, so I'm on production blackout, personally until December- taking time off to get the script together for my dolo spoken word show,
Adjacent Queen's Kings; Word Life! No Act.

So in the meantime I get to smile around Oakland knowing that the hip hop disciplines continue to play out around me.
Bust the Mark Bode and a wheat pasting by an unknown artist (until I find out who dunnit...I'll ask across the street at the Dream Yard)

It's about sustenance, right?
Don't worry, we've got a really nice September 09' Back to School Edition of BWLP on tap for 9/3 posting.

Wish me luck on taking some stuff to a new level.
