July 10th 2010

Long story short, July 10th, 2010, El Toro had his second solo show over at Abakus Take Out in china town. As always the stuff was looking dope, the place had good tunes, and the PBR was free. Can't beat that. I got there early to grab some pics and to put some stuff up in around town. I'm gonna let Toro tell ya more about the show but here are some of my favorite pictures I took that day

this jam was covered in tags and characters by the end of the day

Stencils ain't so bad

So this was supposed to be a post about block printing till i soon realized i can't focus on carving that shit out for more then 10 minutes. Plus having only a razor blade to carve it with didn't help at all. I'm lucky to still have all my fingers. So instead I'm gonna blab for a minute about stencils.

Well uhhh.....lets see here. Uhmmm.....Stencils are cool. I haven't done them in a long long time but recently i've been cutting a few here and there. I like them, I understand how they work, I just wish i had the power to force myself to do multi-layer ones. I can't work on something that long. Even like a canvas, I sit for like an hour or two and then have to put it down for a day, or a week, or a month. So yeah, this is a 2 layer stencil, nothing too fancy. I got a bunch of vinyl to paint it on so im psyched about that. Hopefully with some taped off this and some spray glued that, it will come out clean and good to go

.UWP.. must die!

I guess i'm supposed to say Hello now.
My name is UWP, short for UnderWaterPirates.
A lot of people put Under and Water together, and then Pirates,
but it was originally intended to be all one word with UWP in capitals.
I'm over it though. Whatever works for ya is fine.
So yeah, stickers - pretty much the best idea ever in my opinion.
Writers, posters, whatever ya do, I respect that.
I figure it's our planet, so ya might as well leave your mark wherever you go.
Screw it, we ain't hurting nothing.
