Trust Your Jeepney
Posted by Mikey 1SOUL | Filed under MVMT, Trust Your Struggle, Video
So me and the Trust Your Struggle Crew have been funraising for the last few months for our Sa Pilipinas Mural Tour this year. We had a couple Fundraisers here and there and we recently kicked off our Kickstarter Project. I cut up a video for us to use just to give some folks dope visuals on what the project is about. We been rolling since 2004 to international territories so we got a lot of stories and walls under our belt.

TYS x Loyal Kaspar Shoot
Back with another video for ya’ll. Me and Borish from the Trust Your Struggle crew recently went by the Loyal Kaspar studio to shoot some opening sequences, motion graphics, and bumpers for the TYS Sa Pilipinas Tour that we are trying do this summer. I shot some behind the scenes footage while i was there. These guys are really dope, they had pizza, beer and fuseball waiting for us while we shot. Check out their site at Loyal Kaspar. They got some pretty big clients like showtime, HBO, Vh1 and Disney just to name a few. Loyal Kaspar provides non profits with some Pro-bono work as part of their comunity engagement which is DOPE! Our folks at World Up hooked up the oppurtunity for us. So I put this lil clip together from that night, enjoy!

This Project has evolved beyond my initial idea. In fact to be honest with you , it has taken on a life of its own. I started with just a little series of monotone designs and it has evolved into a interactive comunity based project with the goal of an actual publication. It has evolved into a series of videos that I could never had seen coming. For real folks, this is some kinda crazy to me. But I have been using this quote to describe THAT.
“I imply I began this ‘project’, let me amend that by saying the ‘project’ began itself out of its own need to be. I have acted as vehicle.” – adapted from Floyd B. Barbour introduction to “The Black Power Revolt”
So a series of t-shirts has grown into quite possibly a year long community driven project. My hopes and aspirations are out of control on this one folks and not even the sky is the limit. Calling this project ‘provoking’ is an understatement.

As American as Apple Pie

So I finally posted up the piece I did for the Trust Your Struggle Black Art show in San Francisco last September. A lot of people really liked it. It just came down this past week. I think someone brought all four pieces so I’m waiting to hear back on that.

A Love Bizarre: the artist relationship
Posted by Mikey 1SOUL | Filed under MVMT, Trust Your Struggle
I’ve been involved in a lot of conversations lately about what exactly it means to date an “Artist”. I’ve had the chance to listen and witness alot of these types of relationships given all the talented people I surround myself with. I’ve been discovering that there are a few different types of “Artist Relationships” out there. This is my attempt to try and break this down. Now this is based on actual conversations with artists and the people who date them. If you have anything to submit to this, please do. As an artist myself I just wanted to shed some light on a very interesting subject that we all can relate to. Now these are not the only types of relationships, theres are more, I just felt like these were kinda the most interesting ones.
