These photos can tell the story of the amazing two-day marathon of dope music, art & skateboard & bmx virtuosity better than words. As expected the event brought out New York's flyest people, the vibe was beautiful...the artists were really feeling this summer's energy, which is about coming together and creating hot shit (the year of the Tiger, baby!). This is the Brooklyn Renaissance in the making and I'm counting my blessings every day that I'm surrounded by some of the dopest artists of this generation and that I can do what I love. I'm inspired by their love and creativity every day. </div><div style="text-align: center;">::::::</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>My piece is called </i></div><div style="text-align: center;">"<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;">THE RETURN OF THE FELINES : Fire Liogon Has Come" </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">This is the first public piece of my new <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">LIOGON</span> series, introducing Fire Liogon, the feline life-transformer "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">lion-dragon</span>."
