The whole act of painting this mock train is a phenomenon unto itself. Even though it's not a real train, it conjures up those feeling from the 1980s. I see a book coming. I need one of these in my backyard.

GOD BLESS AMERICA…

KEO TOP TC-5 X-MEN a.k.a. SCOTCH79 is a bona-fide Brooklyn legend in the realm of NYC graffiti and hip hop. KEO came of age in the Brooklyn of the 1970’s and learned his craft in the tunnels and yards of the MTA’s subway system. With an “old school” aesthetic he continues to ingrain his charismatic signature into the tapestry of urban art & pop culture. While also redefining classic graffiti styles into fresh new work through his fine art and design outlets.

Brian Kavanagh, a native of New Jersey developed his passion for the lens photographing local skateboarders in the mid 90’s. As a life long fan of Hip Hop music and culture he began expanding his subject matter to include graffiti and live shows during the early 2000’s. After leaving the area and spending several years in Vermont documenting prominent Vermont based DJ’s and developing an eye for more landscape based photography, Brian returned to Northern New Jersey with a renewed perspective and motivation to document the city and culture he grew up around. In the past several years he has diligently photographed New York City capturing the essence of its residents and architecture. His primary focus now is live Hip Hop music shooting several shows a month of well-respected artists while he continues to collaborate, experiment and grow as a photographer.

Cormega, Coat of Arms, 40 Oz Van NYC and Chevon (of Hapnin.com) have teamed up to give back. And you.. you sexy thang… you can help!

The Coat Drive for HousingWorks.org works like this:

1) Start getting your coats, hoodies and other warm outerwear ready TODAY. Look around the house or collect some from your friends. They need ALLLLL sizes!

2) This is the drop-off address.. so write it down!
COAT OF ARMS
43 Clinton St # 2 New York, NY 10002-2416

coatofarmsnyc.com‎

3) Because we love you and want you to drop off as much as you can.. you have from Wednesday FEBRUARY 16th through Wendesday February 23rd to drop off warm outerwear at Coat of Arms!

4) Bloggers, Reporters, Photographers, Artists, Fashionistas, and music lovers … feel free to help us celebrate the last day of the drop-offs by showing up at Coat of Arms on February 23rd from 7-10pm!

5) EVERYONE who made it their business to drop off warm outerwear between Feb 16th and Feb 23rd will get a free pass to our late-night Wrap Party. There will be a live band with performances from top artists.

6) Yeah, I said it WRAP PARTY. It will be on the lower east side alll night long AFTER we close down the final hours of Donations at Coat of Arms. So hold on to your ticket.

7) Didn’t get to Donate a coat during the week? Couldn’t find warm outerwear to Give?

I participate in this blackbook group (because it's too cold outside), where every week there is a new word or name of the day. The result of practicing other names or words gives you a renewed perspective on your own name. It broadens letter skills and combinations all while helping break the cycle of continuously doing the same letters (i.e. your name) over and over. Here are a few from weeks past...

2010-10-24T17:52:00.016-04:00

I did the BLACK dark to emphasize it; to play on the blaxploitation genre and overall theme of the train. It's not always about pop appeal , the SEEN piece does that. Additionally, it was also a title that SEEN was known as back in the 1980's...Black Seen or Lil'Seen. It seems history keeps forgetting...
