No offense Matt Payton, but I vehemently disagree with this analogy. I mean if there’s ever an ensemble movie cast to compare the Wu to (lolz wu to?) it would be a Mel Brooks film wherein the RZA is Mel Brooks. Maybe Ghostface would be Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein his Supreme Clientele) and Ol’ Dirty Bastard is Rick Moranis in Spaceballs. Obviously 36 Chambers is Blazing Saddles. Hmm I haven’t really thought out this analogy all the way but I AM ROLLING WITH IT nonetheless.
Number two of six from a new series the homie Frank Gonzales is working on. Really diggin the round canvas with the white space. Then again, I am a sucker for negative space and minimalism. And circles.
haloperidol asked: Who's your favourite Wu-Tang MC?
I would say Ghostface, but growing up I always liked Inspectah Deck. Deck has great flow and is always the go-to guy to start off a hot track. Sadly, his albums never really did it for me though. But I feel as if with Wu-Tang, like Beatles albums, I have a different favorite every few months or so. To wit: my fav Beatles album at the moment is Help! and my current fav Wu-Tang emcee is Ol’ Dirty Bastard after revisiting his Ni**a Please album.
The Abominable Snowman
Have you ever played SkiFree? I feel like everyone has at least once, even if it was in their dreams. I think it was the first game I ever played on a computer when my Aunt brought it home on one of those big useless floppy disks. I remember the first time playing to and I was like “Shit man, this is awesome. You ski and you ski and you ski, and there are some dogs and other people. Shit it would be cool to shoot some stuff.” And then, all of a sudden, like some drunken father barging into your room to catch you watching furry-porn, the fucking abominable snowman comes out of no where to ruin the fun. Sure you can press F to go faster and outrun his ass, but by the time my 10 year old hands fumbled over to the F key, I was a goner. And what if there was a tree? Or a dog? Or another skier? Tell me how I’m ever supposed to go skiing after that. Tell me how I’m ever supposed to go skiing stoned and not, even for a second, get really fucking worried that that little pixelated bastard is going to jump out at me and eat me.
My friend’s mom used to run a hair salon and we used to hang out there and I remember one of the highlights was getting to play Ski Free on his step-dad’s computer. God were we the lamest kids ever, huh?
Maybe she can bring back the production of Polaroid film? I got a Polaroid cam from Goodwill last yr that I still want to use. Or maybe she’ll put out a Gaga edition Polaroid that’s made entirely out of glass and diamonds with a spinning gyroscope. And every photo you take the camera has like this magic filter that adds flaming horses and leather-clad dominatrix people in the background.

Ghost, Kamen, & Booth

I still need to hang up this poster!
I met Bagger43 last year at the MoCCA Art Festival in NY. We shared a table and waxed art, comics, hip-hop, and Filipino food. I’m surprised I never posted any of his work here before as he is a very talented artist. He has a new blog now where he takes a dozen photos and posts them every Sunday. I quite like this concept. Check it out at Yours Truly.
