Read MoreCHOR BOOGIE | Honestly, I am one of the truths behind this culture and I’ll do my best to spread the seed.
One thing I’ve always respected about street art/artists is the fact that the work is ALWAYS on stage. For instance there’s always someone walking or driving past your Eyes of San Francisco piece. How does knowing that affect your process? It does not affect my process at all. I guess I’m used to it since I’ve been doing it for like 22 years. So over time I’m sure you get...

Read MoreMichelle Gomez | I am not the only one in the position of leadership; the community and artists are active participants and leaders in shaping the exhibition’s results
AI: It’s very interesting to be in a position of leadership such as yours where decisions must be made that involve people’s passion. It’s their blood sweat and tears; it’s their art! I want to dive into that more, but can you comment on what that position feels like and how you approach such a responsibility? Being in a position of leadership is a thrill for me because I get to...

Read MoreMichael Hoeweler | Thinking of your style and your process as set-in-stone, or concrete, could actually be to your detriment
Your work with Sumi Ink is my favorite! I read on your Tumblr how before you found it, you felt your sketches were missing some life in them. What do you believe is the “x-factor” about the Sumi Ink that gives you the quality you’re looking for? Sumi ink is a really great medium for its versatility. A lot of my friends and colleagues also use sumi ink — as a drawing medium to...

Read MoreMorel Doucet | At times vision is not about knowing where you’re going but more so igniting creativity as a way to maneuver through challenges as they arise
If you’re an artist/leader, confusion is a breeding ground for growth. Why? Because the conviction in your spirit won’t allow your mental state to reign supreme over what you know on a deeper level. In one word, it’s vision. You have a vision of yourself and of your work that drives your thoughts and actions through all of the challenges and confusing terrain towards the goal....

Read MoreAlex Roberts of Nativ Clothing | A person that wears/supports Nativ is not a fair weather fan.
It gives me great pleasure to give you guys today’s featured artist. Alex Roberts and I go back a few years to younger, more irresponsible days but the ambitions haven’t changed. In fact, they’ve increased; and it’s blatantly apparent with the launch of Alex’s clothing brand Nativ; which as the founder and creative director, Alex is set to debut to the world live and direct...

Read MoreRisha Rox | Once pierced, something is expelled and something else enters, therefore beauty is also an agent of change
Risha Rox is a makeup artist that does more than enhance natural beauty, she transforms it. At one point a tattoo artist, she now uses her artistry of bodypainting to tell stories through the living canvas. Risha’s work never lacks purpose because the story is as much a part of the art, as is the canvas it’s told on. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she cites her travels and East Indian Jamican...

Read MoreSHEstreet | All styles of dance aren’t universal, but souls are!!!!!!
Dancers have some of the strongest and most liberated personalities there are! It makes sense if you think about it though. We’re talking about an artform that uses only movement to express EVERYthing within you, without words, color, or even light as necessity! It requires nothing more than you, ALL of you. That’s why I’m excited about this feature with a real artist of movement by the...
