Last Thursday, John and I went to XLARGE store in Los Angeles to check out DJ D-Styles and some really cool gear! For those of you who don't know who Dj D-Styles is, He has been around for years representing a crew called Invisible Skratch Piklez who have won a lot of dj battles in the Mid-90's and early 2000's, as well as the world famous Beat Junkies. He is known for his eclectic music and for being very skilled in the form of scratching. John and I caught up on the latest clothing, music, and art which consisted of actual pages ripped from black books of graffiti artists and X-Large's own Mickey Mouse hands inside the store walls which formed LA. I posted a flyer with the address and recommend that you check out this store if you are looking for some fresh street gear!
Street art has many definitions. Mostly defined as graffiti, a modern rebellious method of art with an extensive history based in Brooklyn and the other boroughs of NYC.
Today's street artist are now exposed to modern day art galleries. What was once considered a crime are now collected by art enthusiast much like it was a painting of Vincent van Gogh. Enter Gaijin Fujita of Los Angeles. A new breed of street artist blending Los Angeles lifestyle of graffiti on walls, and old school Japanese woodblock style art. The art fonts are typical of modern style of catching fame on the streets. The battle scenes are what makes these pieces seem like they have an epic battle cry feeling. Check out his other works and make sure you hit up his gallery whenever its near your town.
