Matisyahu
Yo, you gotta check this dude out. I’m gonna buy his shit right now.
Combining the sounds of Bob Marley and Shlomo Carlebach, yet remaining wholly original, Matisyahu’s performance is an uplifting, powerful experience for all in his presence. Even the most pessimistic in his audience is inspired by his ability to so honestly convey such a delicate, topic as faith/spirituality. It is his dedication to his belief and openness to others that compels one to respect his artistry and message. It’s in that fleeting moment when our skepticism melts and our souls open up, that Matisyahu enters with his booming sound of faith.

Do you remember that movie Breakin? I ran into Turbo after that movie came out—he was happy somebody recognized him. Anyway, checkout this breakdance video by the Floorlords.

I’m a sucka for Tupac art. This one by Patrick Martinez got a shooting range target on his chest…so deep.

they are all meant
to be here
perfectly in balance.
and soon
they will be broken.”

Most of the characters in his paintings are young women and children and they have naive expressions in their faces.

Japanese manga graffiti shit
Some crazy ass Japanese manga graffiti shit from Tenmyouya Hisashi!
Youths of Japan, scrawl your graffiti in kanji! In this spirit I have painted “Lone Wolf of Japanese Spirit” and “Kill with a Single Blow, Special Attack Party” in a Rimpa-style image of maple leaves and irises. The cedar panel doors were discarded from a century old Japanese house. This is the true graffiti.
