Jose G's Internet House Party

posted by Jose on Jun 5

Holee shiit. What a weekend.
All I can say is, if you missed the show on Saturday you will
never forgive yourself. I will never forgive you. At least not
until you get the chance to see the lovely Jean Grae and
turntable wizard Z-Trip live. The whole night seemed to pass
in the blink of an eye. Probably one of the highlights of my life.
Peace to those who made it out and showed love.
Thanks to Z-Trip, Jean Grae, Pugslee Atomz, Dynamic
Vibrations for rocking the house.
Thanks to Greenweedz for hosting.
Thanks to Pickel, Intel and Maker aka Come-Up Kings.
Thanks to my partner in art crime, Revise.
Thanks to everyone who helped get everything together.
And most of all, thanks to Sang. This man busted his ass to get
us up on stage, bring in the hot performers and bring you all a
party to remember.
Intel, you could stop hurling those Red Bulls
at me now…

I always forget to take photos during these shows.
Someone needs to install some kind of camera-eyeball into
my head. Fortunately these folks took better pics:

Whattup, pipples! It’s been a minute since I last updated, drew, or did anything productive. For the last two weeks I’ve been busy helping my family with our loss. Getting back to reality and everyday business has been a ride, but it’ll smooth out soon.
Again, I want to thank everybody who I’ve talked, messaged, hung out with, etc. You’ve made this so much easier to deal with. I really needed the distractions and escapism, and for that I’m forever grateful.
I miss my pops. That really came down on me at the end of Saturday night, realizing that he never got the chance to see me paint live in front of a crowd, with the deejays and all that. Though he always told me he was proud of what I was doing, I always thought it would be cool for him to see it first hand.
So, mom, that means YOU need to come out and see this live art business.
Saturday was off the hook. Thanks to everybody who came out and had a good time. Art Baltazar was in the house!!! Aw Yeah, Man!
If you have yet to attend one of these nights, you are forgiven. Just don’t let it happen again.
So, with all that jazz out of the way, let’s get to the pics…

Revise gets this party started outside

The Background

I’m usually bad when it comes to taking photos at these things. I always forget to snap pics of the work in progress.
It always occurs to meat the end of the night that I own a camera and that I brought it…
Anyway, this is Jose G vs. Revise part 2.

another angle…

and the close up. I wonder what this means…
I may be disturbed.. I hope not.

One of the artists who was scheduled to paint that night didn’t show, so we had an extra board to rock.
I painted the grey dude on the left (along with the little marker characters surrounding him),
Revise on the right, and John rocks the top.

She was taking photos. I shoulda asked her if she could send them to me, but I’m stupid.

These beauties totally ruined the “Ugly Party” I had planned…

Who!!???

Pickel takes us out with Peter Gabriel’s
“In Your Eyes”

It was a great night. I’m pretty sure there were more people in attendence Saturday than there was at January’s live art gig.
I’d really like to turn this into
a monthly thing. The Addicts always have a way of getting people on the dance floor having a good time. I could honestly
say that Pickel is my favorite deejay. But his mixtape. It’s got my endorsement.
Peace! and I promise a new Scam! this week.
Laters,
Jose
