A documentary about the Art in the Streets exhibition at MOCA in Los Angeles.
OUTSIDE IN: The Story of Art in the Streets.
End of Liberty
Next time you take a walk down the street count how many signs there are that explain what you can and can not do. Depending on where you live you might be surprised. Currently, The US government is in a state of cracking down on ordinary citizens everyday rights. If you do not learn how to read the signs then you could end up in one those private run prison institutions which are about the only profitable American businesses these days! All I can say is that I am glad I do not live in Amerika.
End of Liberty exposes from a real life perspective how the U.S. is headed for a complete societal collapse. All Americans are now experiencing countless warning signs on a daily basis that a societal collapse is near. Taken from TopDocumentaryfilms

THE TRAILER GETS TWO THUMBS UP
This is the trailer for a new film from Magnet called "Beyond the Black Rainbow". The trailer is visually impressive, lets just hope the full length movie lives up to it.
Unlike U
UNLIKE U-Trainwriting in Berlin from HISKICK productions on Vimeo.
"UNLIKE U melts into a scene, which for outsiders, is hard to comprehend. The world of trainwriters, those spray paint artists who specialize in painting trams and underground trains. Extremely undercover. Extremely criminal. Extremely forbidden.
UNLIKE U portrais four generations of sprayers in Berlin, of which the oldest of the hardcore artists is already over 40 years old, while the youngest are around 17. All protagonists have one thing in common. Each one has sprayed countless trains in their lives, some of them even over a 1000."
RIP Skateboarding
1993 - 411 Video Magazine Issue #1 - Brooklyn Banks Gathering.
The footage is somewhat bobo but the content is priceless. The skateboarders tagging the bus is one of my earliest memories of any skateboard video. I had seen other videos before this 411VM but this minute long clip always stuck with me...
Here Comes The Neighborhood
Episode 6 - featuring IRAK Crew
HCTN EPISODE 6 : IRAK from Here Comes the Neighborhood on Vimeo.
"The most highly anticipated episode, in our eyes at least, this video follows IRAK crew members Earsnot and Nemel as they paint the Wynwood walls, and a couple uncommissioned works on some of the surrounding buildings.
These two take tagging to a level of high art. Never at a loss for words, Earsnot puts it, “murals and shit are dumb and pieces are stupid but tags are great!”
The building painted by IRAK for Wynwood Walls is inspired by Barry McGee’s tag-filled murals in San Diego, New York, and Sydney, which have been known to stir up controversy and push the boundaries of the grey area between graffiti and Art. Barry McGee was a participant in the first installment of the Wynwood Walls in 2009, but was left with a bad taste in his mouth when the abandoned structure he painted was converted into panther cafe, incorporating his work for their branding. Earsnot and Nemel build on Barry McGee’s tag wall concept by filling the wall with a variety of monochromatic shades of overlapping tags creating the illusion of depth." 12OZ

Here are some Flicks I was able to snap in between drinking free alcohol and walking my ass off around Wynwood and the Design District of Miami..
Yeah Man, Rock On!
You never know when a show will get out of control and you'll have to regulate the crowd. Eliminating the security detail from your shows means more profits from gigs as well. If you want to make it as a musician in the 21st century you gotta step your game up. Just sayin.

Grab your molotov cocktail London's Burning
Word has it that on the other side of the pond London is burning once again. Looting and rioting continued for 3 days in London while the British Prime Minister was on summer holiday getting a tan in Ibiza. Multiple police stations and cars were burned and numerous stores were looted all in the name of Mark Duggan a young black male that was killed at the hands of police...
People riot because it makes them feel powerful, even if only for a night. People riot because they have spent their whole lives being told that they are good for nothing, and they realise that together they can do anything - literally, anything at all. People to whom respect has never been shown riot because they feel they have little reason to show respect themselves, and it spreads like fire on a warm summer night. And now people have lost their homes, and the country is tearing itself apart..
The Aerialist aka Dean Potter
Dean Potter, 39, is the modern master of risk-taking on rock, a towering physical specimen who speed-climbs the biggest walls in Yosemite, flies off cliffs wearing a wingsuit and a parachute, scales steep, technical rock faces without a rope, and walks on bobbing slacklines set thousands of feet above the ground—sometimes without any kind of safety device. Among climbers, he’s equally famous for his king-of-the-dirtbags ethos (he’s been known to live in a cave), his intense demeanor, and a rebellious streak that has made him a countercultural icon, irritating some and inspiring many more. Potter was married in 2002 to fellow climber Steph Davis, from whom he divorced last year, and these days lives just outside Yosemite Valley with his dog, Whisper. For our oral history, former Climbing editor Matt Samet spoke with family, friends, and the man himself to get a glimpse of a life lived way over the edge.
DEAN WAS TROUBLE FROM THE START
Potter began climbing in 1988, at 16, doing most of his apprenticeship near his home in New Boston, New Hampshire, on the granite cliffs of Joe English Hill, a 1,273-foot mountain that sits on federal land controlled by a local Air Force base.
DEAN POTTER: In the early days at Joe English, my friend John and I climbed a lot by pushing on each other’s feet and pulling on each other’s hands. Later, some older guys—the Adams brothers—ran into us and said, “Damn kids, you guys are going to die!” They told us to get a harness, and they said you can’t use a laundry line for climbing. We were doing top ropes with stuff we got from John’s father’s garage.
PATRICIA DELLERT (Dean’s mother): I wasn’t aware of Dean’s love of climbing until his high school years, when he was going over to Joe English Hill. I didn’t know he was climbing on the cliff, because it’s a military reserve, a satellite-tracking station. He was in there illegally. I thought he was just climbing the boulders below.
POTTER: My parents didn’t want to believe their son was 200 feet up, free-soloing. They liked to go on long walks and runs, and they would go right by Joe English. Later they’d say, “Hey, we saw someone climbing up there.” They would describe what they saw, and I’d be wearing the exact same outfit. And I’d say, “Oh… Nope, wasn’t me!”
CHARLEY BENTLEY (early climbing partner from New Hampshire): The first few times I climbed with Dean, in 1991, I was on a different level, but he closed that gap quickly. At the end of spring, he moved to North Conway and was living in the woods between Cathedral Ledge and Whitehorse. He probably climbed every day on granite, which is a really slippery, technical rock that hones your footwork. By the fall, he was climbing 5.13’s. I don’t think Dean understood how shockingly fast he’d progressed.
