We were invited to Inked this past weekend. It was an event organized to display Toronto’s best tattoo and body artists. With the least amount of time we were given plus our conflicting schedules we were able to scheme out a new back drop for the show. We went with an ice age theme. Usually I’m the one with the characters, but I decided to switch roles with Wong. Hit the jump to see more detailed pictures of the mural. Also, shout outs to all the other artists who attended, Mike Stoan, Chuey and Stick Figga. Enjoy!

No Image Without Soul. More pics after the jump. (more…)

Magicfinnga Wong recently got a chance to put his own stamp on a Honda CBR 1000RR. Amazing job, King. Much more to come this summer, folks!

PEEP THE REST AFTER THE JUMP . . .

Hello World! It’s ’bout 8 in the morning, cold as hell, real quiet in the Mac room and I’m burnt as ever. Still waiting on the coffee boy (hah, Happy Burfday Munna) to bring me back my snack. I haven’t had the chance to update ya’ll on any of the current events, as I’m still trying to catch up for the last 2 missing weeks. I got a ton of photos to share from my trip, but only time will tell when I’ll actually get around to posting them. To most of ya’ll it prolly wouldn’t mean sh!t, but I can’t seem to get over my trip to the Tate Modern Museum. Everything was exactly as I had wanted it to be and much more. Now I can actually say that I’m one of those ppl who has seen a REAL Andy Warhol. I’d seen 4 canvases of his and they were even more impressive and amazing from a meter away than in my books/comp. Back to bidniz…soooo, we’re back!! Another year. More projects. More posts. More memories. For those of you msging me and asking about the Facebook and all, it’s all true. I’ve taken down most of the sites and contact places, as I’ll be rebooting them sometime in Feb. I don’t wanna give too much away, but ya can expect a Soul Image Art Show coming along, where I’ll be expecting you all. Wong, Ben and myself have been working on several pieces and everyones definitely doing their best to out do the next artist, ha. Got a couple other surprise artists who will be contributing to the show. Also, we’ll be hitting up Royalty Radio sometime in Feb, more info to come. Shout outs to our folks Dre/Drega at the station. OH, before I forget, Spooks is also on his grizzly and will be working on the music asap. I got 2 freestyle by Spahkz on the other hand, which I’m very iffy bout whether I wanna share ‘em, hah. Produced by L-Ment, the beat are banging. Meh. Maybe on a dry day. Enjoy your weekend and have a good one. 2 fingers!

Hello World! Slowly, but surely, I’m getting back into the site and finding more time to provide ya with update of everything going around us. I wanna thank everyone who came out past Saturday to Flemingdon for Stop The Violence event. The weather was definitely shady, but it cleared up pretty quick around 3pm and the place was packed. Soulimage was out thurr for the kids of course. Big ups to everyone who promoted the face painting and provided us with a spot. Those kids can get damn demanding at times, hah. All love! Soon as I get a minute, I’ll try to post a small video featuring Specks from the event. Other than that, Carabana weekend is upon us in 2 days and I am NOT ready for the work to be done. I heard if all follows through, we’ll be out painting the girls and working on the float for 6-7Am. Gotta do what I gotta do. We definitely can’t say we hate our jobs, hah.  Matic has been doing his thing and recording and just gathering material and Spooks has been MIA, but I’ma track his ass down soon nuff. Oh, btw, your boy officially gave in and entered the Battle of the BeatMakers event going down for August. I’m still waiting to hear back from them. Stay tuned. And before I head out, just wanna wish Wong a BIG Happy 25th Burday! I seriously did not know you were scared of sugar b. Seen! 2 fingers!

Some more images of Wong’s work in his studio.

DoughBoy keeping it gully.

Tomorrow is a BIG day. Eleven is finally gonn be here. This is just a small present from me. Uncle Manny loves you kid!

…I dunno when I’ll be back again!

Hello, World! It’s been a messy, busy ass month. Too much happening, one after another. Shout outs to everyone who had a burfday this month. I know atleast 7 ppl with bday along the same week. I know ya been seeing alot more of everything else, and less of what we got going on, but its all on the DL for now. The paper works being processed and everyone’s just working hard to get everything together. I know I’ve been extremely busy with errands, exams, assignments, music and the site. Alot more to this, then just randomly blogging. Thanks to all who have been visiting on the daily and show the boy love. Thanks to Alana Marie for giving us a shout on her page. I’ve got one last exam today for 9am and then I’m OFF for a good week. I know my phones gonna be OFF starting Tuesday, so don’t get vexed or nothing. I just need to be away for a good week. This is the only week I’ll have to run some meetings and get the music going once again. I promise, I will have more material to display soon enough. Everyone’s timing and schedule is just WACK, so I’ll have to stretch it a bit to make things happen this week. BTW, Eleven is on his way (my godson), so I really gotta get cracking on painting a canvas for his room. I’m off to get some sleep, so I’ll check ya in a good minute. In the mean time, peep this quick joint I produced for Silent Shadow. The boy got that Big-L charisma. 2 fingers!

Soon as this week clears up, I’ll have the pix from Union, Hungarian House and Jacks Backyard up. Just a sneak peek.

Much love and respect to all who showed up last night at Union. Big shout outs to all the models, camera crew, DJs, and the loyal fans. Pix will be coming real damn soon and so will a few interviews by some of the lovely ladies of Soul Image. It’s 6:00am and I’m damn tired. I’ll post something dope later tonight or tomorrow. 1
