Herbie Hancock x Sesame Street x Quincy Jones

PSMOOV showed me these and I had to share it with you. I hope PSMOOV continues to post shit like this because it's magic and I know he's got a few more up his sleeve. Herbie Hancock is without a doubt a G when it comes to this shit. It's great to see the two just vibe out in a room full of new machines. I am truly blessed to watch these two videos. I am also truly blessed to be working with PSMOOV who is today's Herbie Quincy Hancock-Jones.

Jam Jam Posters

Seattle's best Reggae night is Mondays at Baltic Room. The wonderful crew with Zion's Gate Sound always keeps it live. They wanted me to flip the poster I did last year to have a more summertime feel so I swapped some color, cleaned up some lion edges and there you go!

The Physics - High Society EP

Local group The Physics just dropped this, it's got my good homie Phee Dill on some production as well. Justo, Thig, & Monk are three of the nicest, hardworking guys in Seattle. I must buy them a beer, fuck it I'ma buy them a pitcher. And that sample on "Callin" is way too familiar to me and I love the way they flipped it. Assholes.

Also, expect some OFS t-shirts and hats designed for these guys very very soon.

People dance on Thursdays

A lot of great DJs have been sliding thru See Sound Lounge lately and tonight is no different. Tigerbeat is bringing out Scottie B again (he is THE baltimore dj) and im hoping to get down there after work.


Another night I'm trying to get down to tonight is Rob N' Leach starring everyone's favorite Alaskans The FIle Jerks. It's a new night they are doing down at Rendezvous. I guess Belltown is the place to dance on Thursday.

Bag Painter Interview


Now I know Chris Crites (aka The Bag Painter) isn't a writer for any periodicals, but I love the guy so much I had to interview him for the OFS blog. I love his work, which mainly consists of vibrant portraits on brown paper bags and wanted to share it with the community that I fucks with. He currently has a show up until July 11th at Roq la Rue entitled "About: Face." So get down there and see a great Seattle talent.

TR: So, I must ask, why bags?
CC: In 1999, I was drunk off my ass on a bottle of tequila and painted on a bag. I liked it and kept doing it.
TR: I see for your current show you have started to use different paper, why so?
CC: I wanted to work way looser than usual and make my arm have a little fun. It allowed me to stay fresh without working so tight.
TR: Who are your favorite 3 artists in Seattle?
CC: Robert Hardgrave, SuttonBeresCuller, & Dan Webb.
TR: What's your favorite 3 local bands?
CC: At The Spine, Akimbo, Mad Rad.
TR: You don't have to say Mad Rad.
CC: You guys bring it, man! By far my favorite live show in a while.
TR: What did you eat for lunch today?
CC: Top Ramen Oriental with lettuce and spinach that I grew from my own garden.
TR: Do you like sandwiches?
CC: Love them, Hillside Quickies for me.
TR: Nike or Reebok?
CC: Neither. Simple.
TR: Who's your favorite graffiti writer?
CC: I'm not that up on my graf, but I'd say I like the old stuff. That NYC raw look in the 70's and 80's.
TR: Do you like graffiti?
CC: For me, it has to have a message not just a name on the wall. I want something that is thought provoking and creative. Names are beautiful, but the average person can't read that. Break out, hit a bigger audience with it.
TR: Who would you be most honored to paint if they approached you?
CC: Noam Chomsky. He's one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. He is like a scalpel that cuts with insight. He is so spot on and nothing passes him.
TR: Do you feel there's anything you can do to hit different markets in this city?
CC: I'd love to open up a gallery and put out a book. Hitting other crowds besides the art world would be great.
TR: Are you down for a Bag Painter wheat paste campaign?
CC: Fuck yeah! Show me how to make it and I'll hit the ground running.
TR: What does Out For Stardom mean to you?
CC: That you want to be famous. I haven't ever heard it put like that before..**burrrrrrrpppp!!**
TR: How's that ramen treating you?
CC: Good but needed some cheese.
TR: Anyone ever tell you that you look like Chandler from Friends?
CC: I have heard that once before, but I don't know what he looks like.
TR: Do you want to kick anyone's ass?
CC: Scott Lawrimore at The Lawrimore Project. He ripped my boy Hardgrave off for $10,000! I just can't let that fly.
TR: Who wins in a fight? Bag lady or Bilbo Baggins?
CC: Baggins. Even without "Sting" he has big ass kickin feet.
TR: Best appearance by a bag in a movie? American Beauty or Run Lola Run?
CC: Even though the bag was full of cash in Run Lola Run, I gotta give it to American Beauty bag. Besides, that film guy thought it was beautiful because he was stoned.
TR: Hand bag or tote bag?
CC: Tote. Easier for the bike action.
TR: Funbags or airbags?
CC: Funbags!! What good are airbags??
TR: Do you like baguette?
CC: Yes, especially with brie.
TR: Any chance of painting the Baghdad all stars?
CC: You never know. Are they paying?
TR: If you had to pick one. Are you a dirtbag, sleazebag, or scumbag?
CC: Scumbag has a nice ring to it.
TR: If I gave you a baggie what would you want it filled with?
CC: A plane ticket to Amsterdam and cash for a Europass.

Thanks Chris for your time! Enjoy your shows coming up in Omaha and Chicago. OFS has your back.
