STACEY WILSON.
Philadelphia has always been known for it’s epic murals that grace it’s neighborhoods. Faces of all colors, imagery of all kinds, bringing life to the brick canvas upon which they were created. Philadelphia has always been known for it’s influence on music, birthing all types of poets… from The Fresh Prince himself to Freeway, The Roots, and Jill Scott (to only mention a few). Music and art have built the foundation for Philly’s eclectic style. After spending 6 years in Philadelphia, I stumbled across one artist that I believe to have also influenced that style. Wishing I had come across her work sooner, Stacey “Flygirrl” Wilson is Philly’s best triple threat.

Urban Outfitters / Customize your own Fixed-Gear Bike
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Art & Design, Fashion, Talk
Not many people know this but I’m a cycling enthusiast. So I think it’s dope to hear that Urban Outfitters is now doing a “style your own fixed gear” bike shop. I guess the trend will explode now. I’m not a fixed gear rider myself, I prefer a Trek 1.5, but as an artist and a consumer, I love personal customization. Apparently, you can get your own customized fixed gear for $399. Madd Cheap but perfect for casual riders who want something cool.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Music, Talk
My favorite artist of all time, the King of Pop, the biggest musical influence of the last few generations, has passed away. He leaves behind an unfathomable legacy and will forever be close to our hearts. Rest in peace Michael and greatest sympathy’s and condolences to the Jackson family.

“FUQ POP” Movie Posters
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Graphic Design, Talk
Felt like sharing a new concept I’ve been thinking about. Lately, I’ve been reflecting heavily on pop culture, the media, and sexuality. I wanted to try and express that in the form of some fake movie posters for a film I call “Fuq Pop”. It’s a 5 -part set with the last image in the series being the full poster. Enjoy!
Here are some detail shots:
I really wanted to nail that vintage, 60s & 70s Print texture while keeping the colors to my tastes. All illustrations were done in Illustrator and then taken into Photoshop for compositing.
