HVW8’s Gene Starship, with Tyler Gibney and Brian Armstong, were responsible for the And 1 mixtape illustrations for the first 5 tapes (1999-2002) The HVW8 Art Installation also went on the tour with the ballers to N. Philly, Chicago South Side, Rucker’s in Harlem and Venice, California, and painted pieces under the net during the games. Some wild times. The first player that we did a lot of artwork for was Rafer “Skip to My Lou” Alston. He even picked up a piece for his place. Good to see Skip to My Lou now in the NBA finals 10 yrs later.
