Stepping out

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Sometimes we just need to disconnect ourselves from the phones,computers,tablets,the great technologies that make our lives so great to have these technologies to take away the boredom of everyday living! Notice the sarcasm there at the end….
A couple of weeks ago the wife and I went to a cool car show out in Carlisle Pa,it was a great day and got to see some really cool cars.I will be posting that here soon with a lot of pics that I took that day,now today they’re having The Three Rivers Art festival in Pittsburgh so we’re going to check that out take some pics,check out some art,and enjoy ourselves.
This is what wicked awesome sunny days are for,hanging out with family,and friends,and unleashing ourselves from these technologies that have a rep for keeping us from enjoying the moment cause someone updated their wall…..

Get out and enjoy the day techno free…..

Here we go again been picking up art supplies here and there.Paint markers and some aerosol, thanks Oink art for the Fresh paint waiting for the humidity to go so I can dig in.I also picked up some Liquitex art aerosol and we’ll see how it holds up to the others.Still got some Montana Golds left….
Now that I have said all that just getting started on the projects and finishing others is at a standstill. Got the ideas and most of the supplies for painting.
Putting the finishing touches on the store to get it fully functional and rolling. Figuring out the shipping info and ensuring international customers are covered also.Lots of info to sift through, and ensure all is correct as far as I know. Which brings me to the blockage of not moving on the canvases, and taking more of the rough drafts and digitizing them for future projects and tee prints to come.
Well they won’t do themselves so I gotta get back on my grind and hustle. …
Peace out. Gato21

How it came to be…SLO MO

by with No Comment Uncategorized

SLO MO as some know came to the surface in Dec 1993…………

It started in Kin Aza Okinawa Japan.As I became a member of the Exodus Crew,a group of people who hung out at the local Reggae club .They were some great times we had nights at the club,and days barbecuing,hanging out eating,drawing,listening to music,playing video games,and most of all enjoying our friends company.

Now I had been working on my own clothing label for a couple of years,or should I say I was searching for the Logo that would be the one to push forward on.After becoming a member of the Exodus crew it all kinda fell in place the wording of the logo to the design of it.

So as time progressed I let it fall to the side of the road of life,now I never let it be forgotten to myself  and never gave up on the idea of a business that started from a crew of people hanging out.Each member of the crew and all additional people throughout the years whom I consider members influenced the idea We had of what SLO MO was and what it meant to be a member of the crew.

 

Now here I am bringing SLO MO back to the surface.

SLO MO:

It’s not just a name,it’s a way of life

It’s not just a feeling,it’s a state of mind

It’s not just me ,it’s my friends and family

It’s everyday people,living everyday lives
