July 2010: This canvas has seen many places with a few different faces.  The “GOLDEN STEEZ” as seen below hung in the hollywood district for quite a few months.

August 2011: Random Jager bottle ends up with a STEEZ Tattoo also.

August 2011: Jager STEEZ gets smashed for a new explosive canvas.  Incidentally, usually I come out of these injury free.  This Jager bottle got a good slice of my thumb.  I was told it should have had stitches.  I grabbed a beer, panicked a little bit and moved on with the work.

Aug. 2011: The broken glass gets glued to the canvas with a combination of hot glue and an excessive amount of paint.  I buy the mis-tint paint at Lowes/Home Depot so I can use it with reckless abandon.  Usually I paint over it so the color doesn’t matter.  However, the way this looks currently I’m kind of inspired.

Stay Tuned… Graffiti Lettering starts now.

Recently I have made the switch to real graffiti paint from Home Depot’s standard Rusto.  The first couple attempts – Sweat 360 and various other works have helped me identify the amazing benefits of Montana paint.  The low pressure valve and the right tips are giving me confidence I have only dreamed about before.  Tomorrow I conquer a big wall, stay tuned.
