BROOKLYN



While I was back east I stopped in NYC for a day.

Met up with my boy Phillip Shung who runs a design studio called Pixod/Sundree down in Brooklyn. Phil hit us up last year after he saw our Represent Kobe project online. The power of random little street art projects is amazing sometimes.



On our way to lunch we passed by this incredible mural done by a couple guys named Cam and Coby. Phillip knows everyone in Brooklyn so he made a call and 30 minutes later Cam was giving me a tour of their studio.


Cam was a real humble guy. I like his style - I think it's different than a lot of other stuff out there. We spoke a bit about bringing him out to the West Coast and getting him some buzz out here. So much of the art world is about hype and marketing, it's crazy but I'm excited to see where things will go for him.


Cam's studio and apartment were both in the same building. His apartment had nothing but finished paintings, sketches and workout gear inside.






His studio was literally covered with paint and art supplies. He shares the space with Coby and a couple of other dudes. It was a cool space - reminded me a lot of the vibe of an art college.
