“Perseverance Pays” – Dad

February 12, 2012

Last Sunday when I picked my Dad up from NC, we passed by an old landmark that sparked a reminiscing session on the road.  I was reminded by it again today by a glass of water.  Between these 2 cups is a 16 year story of perseverance.  I remember working side by side with my Dad running the kitchen at San Antonio Sam’s as cook and dishwasher, then riding home in a Geo Storm back to a completely unfurnished house.  Now people think we were born with silver spoons in our mouths.  Don’t get it twisted, we worked hard and earned it all from the ground up.  As we passed by Sam’s, I was like “Damn, we used to be co-workers in that restaurant Dad.”… “Yup, Perseverance Pays” – Dad  #noexcusesinamerica

Retna: Black Magic

October 24, 2011

Speaking of black on black and ballin’, one of my fave artists El Mac’s great collaborators, Retna, using his heiroglyphic style calligraphy as a backdrop for Mac’s signature portrait murals, is releasing a new print in the following week titled “Black Magic”.  5 color hand pulled print at a giant 38.5″ x 55″, signed and numbered edition of 30.  How about a $6,500 art investment?  Dude is being slept on and blowing up quick.  Been a while since I’ve invested in art, but if I had $6,500 to drop within the next week, that means I could probably be closer to being engaged within that time instead.  I’d end up getting black on black eye from Linda.  Lmao.

If I were ever ballin’ literally, and figuratively, this is what I’d have in my garage.  Peep the price tag on this thing.
