This website is about any and everything that sparks the creative genius in all of us. By profession I am a Graphic Designer, and enjoy all aspects of design. From traditional to urban from resin to vinyl, these are all great mediums and deserve to be explored. On top of that everything from music to movies from guns to graffiti.

Kidrobot just posted a great interview with French artist, SupaKitch where he talks about NYC, his usage of color and his fascination with feathers! This is a really cool interview and really gives some good insight into this man as an artist, a look at a little bit of his work...and a taste of a strong French accent!

This print is a type of Buddhist prayer in hopes that Diego might someday, in some lifetime, reach Nirvana
