2010-12-20T17:35:00.000-08:00

Sesame Street, I get it. You're looking for a little swaggery, maybe even some street cred. At least admit you bit the idea from yours truly.

I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'.

These are the final pictures of "The Freaks Come Out at Night" wall and my spot on self portrait. Same spot as last year's Sesame Street wall -- NW 24th ST and 6th Ave in Wynwood right off of I-95. The self portrait is further down 24th closer to 2nd Ave.

2010-12-06T16:42:00.000-08:00

The Montana crew that hooked the paint up.

These little cardboard shoes were all over the place, the MTN dudes went around lobbing them on every powerline in the area. It was awesome. I actually have footage of it too.

Big Themer on this busted old truck in the RC Cola plant.

Billy Soco of GenerationIll.com stopped by to show some love.

My dude DJ Sire Esq.

Rime MSK AKA Jersey Joeism!

Witnes MSK repping that LRG hard . He hooked it up with the black snapback I'm wearing in the photo.

Sneak peak #2!

DJ Neff kicked it the night before he flew back to LA. This one turned out horribly. That iPhone flash in the club is no joke. Everything gets turned green.

Anyway I'm working on the video, hold tight.

ANCIENT RELICS: LIVE@BEANDIP

2010-11-29T05:40:00.000-08:00

Several years ago I spent a Saturday with Beandip. They recorded this stop motion video of me painting in their warehouse. I blew the dust off of this one and cleaned it up for posterity.

I'll be down in Miami this week for Art Basel and Primary Flight. Stay tuned for more posts!

It's that time of year, Art Basel Miami is around the corner. Please check out the dudes over at Primary Flight for additional gallery shows and details on the Wynwood Street Level Murals. With well over 250 world renowned artists coming together to paint, it's well worth checking out if you're gonna be in Miami -- and if you're not, you should be.

I'll be there again this year painting alongside the usual suspects. To jog your memory, included below is the video I put together for last year's event.

CHUNE!: CONCHORD DAWN

HECTOR GALVEZ

2010-10-26T18:07:00.000-07:00

It isn't very often that you get to big up someone that motivates you in a public arena. On that note I wanted to take this opportunity to shout out my good friend Hector Galvez for taking the time to hook it up with the new header for the site. Here's to you big homie.

EVAN POIRIER X NIKE RUNNING

2010-10-06T20:36:00.000-07:00

This one's for all of you getting ready for this years' NBA season. I don't even like Lebron, personally I think the Heat could have done without him, but he's here to stay. At least for this season. Anyway, here's to you Bron'bron, LA CHEIM!

COMING SOON: GENERATION ILL INTERVIEW

Lol. You'll see.

COMING SOON: THE NEW EVANPOIRIER.COM

2010-08-09T19:51:00.000-07:00

If you didn't already know, the old evanpoirier.com site is down. And not likely to return, but that's okay because I'm working on a new portfolio over at cargocollective.com. Should be up within the next couple of weeks.

Also, I've been working on a little ad contract with Cox Cable here in Gainesville at the 34th st wall. If you live here then maybe you've seen the ads, cleverly disguised as graffiti. Or not so cleverly disguised. At any rate, I've been super busy lately but I'm working on making some things happen babies.

While you're waiting check out the "COMING SOON" page for the new site. Aren't you excited?!

LIVE: @ HOME.

2010-07-10T20:54:00.000-07:00

NEW: THE ANGRIEST PELICAN EVER

2010-06-19T16:04:00.001-07:00

I put this together a while back and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. It's basically a redux of the North Carolina Tarheels mascot/logo. Now it's an angry Gulf Coast pelican. Leave any bright ideas of your own in the comments section. I still need some sort of phrase or text and I could also use any contacts or links you have to anyone that would purchase this or know otherwise what to do with it.

FOR: THE SLICE HARVESTER

2010-06-19T15:21:00.000-07:00

Found out about sliceharvester.com from the kids over at Fader. It's some New Yorker who has dedicated his life, well maybe at least some of his afternoons, to trying out all of the local pizza joints in New York. As a big boy I thought that it was a pretty great idea seeing as how this has never been done. The above is my attempt at executing his idea of a New Yorker magazine logo parody. Anyway I hit dude up to see if he is interested in letting me give him free artwork. Let's see what happens.

Check out the recently recorded interview here. Unless you're not at all an intriguing person and you don't even like pizza, the greatest food we've ever eaten.

EDIT: Yeah, so turns out Slice Harvester is a lo-fi type of dude. He's actually going for the DIY look. So, in the meantime I'll just be on the hunt for other places to submit work.

BANNER UPDT: MSIX TE

CHUNE!: K. West, Miami Horror

2010-04-11T18:26:00.000-07:00

One of the most common questions that people ask me while I'm out there painting, and what have you is - "What do you listen to when you paint?"

So, in the newest segment on the blog: CHUNE! - every so often I'll be sharing with you some of the most recent music that I listen to. Included in these posts is the ability to download the tracks that I share, simply by selecting the downward-pointing arrow to the right of the track. Feel free to comment on the track itself on a certain point in the song or just leave a comment below.

Enjoy.

Made this in Illustrator today by following the somewhat simple steps in the tutorial over at Vectips.com.

Have a happy Valentine's day people.

I Had a blast painting this last weekend in Miami. I got to meet and talk to all of my favorite artists from all over the world. Some of them even knew who I was if you can believe that. (I'm not gonna lie, that blew my mind. Anyway I wanna thank Siner DME, Smash DTT, Ils BSK, and Wane COD for pushing me to the limit -- especially Siner. The wall came out super fresh. I can't even imagine how huge next year's jam is gonna be.

Leave a comment and let me know what you thought!

P.S. - Keep an eye out for a little video clip of a bunch of walls that were painted this year in Wynwood. And also shout out to the homies Werk, 'Lac 76 and Tank for holding me down with the off-the-chain flank steaks with chimi-churri. Roffles.

There's a new store out here called Diosabella. They sell a lot of Ed Hardy stuff and are trying to let people know they're in Gainesville. The owners asked me to paint some boards for their fashion show/pool party at The Enclave apartments. I wasn't able to make it out to the event but it looks like everyone had a good time.

The same people have asked me to paint their store here in Gainesville and a couple in Las Vegas. I'll keep it 200, it's not exactly what I would call "my style" but it might be putting some new sneakers on the shelf for me. Check out Diosabella in the Butler Plaza behind Outback Steakhouse if you get a chance.

Thanks to everyone who made the True Elements jam possible, and large ups to the homie Siner, DE-1, and the entire DME family for showing up and supporting. Check out www.miamigraffiti.com for flicks from the rest of the event.

2008-12-30T17:10:00.000-08:00

I had some free time recently and painted down on the 34th st wall with a friend who shall remain nameless for legal purposes. Anyway I had a good time, stepped in dog crap, shouted out the blog, and painted an undertaker/creepy guy.

EL CAPITAN SAYS: "SAYONARA SUCKA!"

2008-12-27T19:01:00.000-08:00

So I quit my job earlier this year and upon walking out of the office with my plant and box of belongings I ran into my boss on my way out. She frowned and began to open her mouth. I gave her the ol' "see ya dummy" salute and walked out before she could say anything.

I painted this later that week. Sayonara SUCKA!

2008-12-01T17:53:00.000-08:00

I made a special little trip down to Miami this past weekend to paint something for the people to look at next week for Art Basel 2008. If you're in Miami and you wanna see the wall, it's off in Wynwood/Overtown right at about NW 2nd Ave. and 22nd St.
Big thanks to Msix, Siner, and my wonderful wife for letting me skip out of town while she was about 5 minutes from going into labor. (Sarcasm)

Hey everyone, first post of the new blog! Be sure to bookmark it because I'll be posting all of the new stuff I'm working on right here. I've got the Downtown Fall Arts Festival coming up this weekend that I'll be at. Should be a good time. I'll post the pics as soon as I get them.
