adidas House Party

Check out HVW8 at the beginning of the new adidas House Party Spot, featuring David Beckham, Kevin Garnett, Missy Elliott, Method Mad, RedMan, Young Jeezy, Katy Perry, Pharell, Mark Gonzales and a bunch of others …. with music by pilooski (first dropped by Parra at his HVW8 podcast last year). The mural was done by dstrbo, G. Starship, Jonathan, Alex and Ty G, and it’s Ty G at the beginning of the ad. Here are a few photos from the shoot in Boyle Heights this past August.

Time to change!

It’s been a really hectic couple weeks with the election and the Nu America party. People ask why I’m I so supportive about Obama when I’m a Canadian and can’t even vote in the U.S. Well the short answer — it’s pretty amazing! Since I have lived in the U.S., people living outside the U.S. would always criticize America and its politics. It was deserved, but at the same time the Bush administration and his policies didn’t represent the America I know and live. Now you have Obama — and only in America could you have such a amazing almost instant transformation stemming from a individual with such massive ramifications. I feel that America is “Good” again, and with everything that has been happening with the world economy and events, it demonstrates how inter-connected the world is. What is good for here is good for the world. Go bama!
