To think this line started as a mistake now its become a lifestyle brand of its own that screams freedom of expression and creativity with no borders. Over the years Shepard has carved out his artistic niche without compromising his artistic integrity. People have conformed to him rather then him conforming to the status quo. Check out the vid below as Shepard gives some insight on his OBEY brand. via hypebeast – BSKI

Following Kellons’ work for quite sometime I might say I was quite impressed when I saw this piece of work he conjured up for one of his last school projects. We actually went to see the screening of this short but yet potent and introspective look into the past of Mr. Innocents’ childhood years in Public School. I was impressed and inspired Kellon. You really stepped it up on this one. Cant wait to work again with you. Great work on this one.

I felt proud that this talented artist had my last name. You never know we could be related. Some of his work kind of reminds me of Takashi Murakami. Just another artist to put on my list to support when I get some G money to drop on some art for the crib. – BSKI

Jeff Soto opened up his inaugural museum exhibition the other night, entitled Turning in Circles. The show featured some of the Southern California product’s latest pop surrealism artwork. With a year in the making, every piece reflected Soto’s massive effort and labour of love for the genre into an impressive array of imagination and talent. Turning in Circles will remain open until February 21st, 2009 in Jeff’s hometown of Riverside. – via Hypebeast
