Del Valle - Designs for Church Street Productions

These are some jumpies aka jump-offs ; ) that I did for my homeboy Pedro, who runs a promo bizz and is currently working with Coca-Cola, who owns Del Valle. He asked me to throw him some samples to show them what kind of designers he is working with, like me. They aren't sure what kind of market they are trying to focus their promotion, so once that set in stone we will be working more with them. Above are some samples of what I sent him.... big ups P! (if you need any promotion regarding music/art/events/products... let me know, Pedro is your man!)

Mastering The Heights Exhibition - NYC

This exhibit, at Martinez Gallery, is an apartment in Washington Heights that is more artwork than art gallery. Amsterdam-based designers Kaptein Roodnat have altered the apartment’s basic structure, and redefined its integrity and boundaries, slicing into walls, opening rooms into one another and incorporating outdoor spaces.

BLAH BLAH BLAH... basically a bunch of NY writers came through and freaked out this "space" aka apartment that has been totally changed up. ARTISTS including: Kez5, NOXER, CASE 2, BRAIl, TyKE, BRAIl, MÖSCO, EARSNOT, COCO 144, VFR, SKUF, FlINT 707, gIZ, MICO and TRACy 168.

Austin P. Frum Public Education Center

It was almost a year ago exactly that I left NYC earlier than expected, to be with my fam, but most especially, my father, who was getting really sick from cancer, which he had been living with for over 12 years. His name is Austin P. Frum, he was a great guy! Other than being a totally friendly person, hard worker, great husband and father, he was also very dedicated to a school funding organization called CSDC. He worked for CSDC as the chairman of the board.

My father passed on January 4th, 2008. Durring this time the school had just begun construction. When completion came around they decided to commemorate my father!

My family and I came for the ribbon cutting. The school is amazing. They had two performance from some of the students and staff. The school has a Chinese/English Immersion school, the first in ever in DC!




My moms about to cut the ribbon... pretty cool, right ; )

I got alot to live up to now ; ) muc love to my pops! miss ya
