“RUST-O UNCAPPED” Event at Secret Walls HQ

We were invited the other night to experience the soft launch of rustoleum‘s new artist brand paint called RUST-O (@rustospraypaint )

Below is a first video review of the product by our Artist in Chief, Man One.

The soft launch was held at Secret Walls HQ in L.A. The evening kicked off with a panel that included artists PERSUE (@persue1) and GEORGE F. BAKER III (@gfb3) moderated by Dilated Peoples very own, the homie RAKAA (@therealrakaa).

Although it was raining, the vibe was cool. Lots of dope artists in attendance and we got to sample the paint.

Until we’re able to use more colors and really get a feel for it, the jury is out on how this paint will stack up against the others. Some challenges they will face in this space are the limited palette (30 colors), the higher price point ($8.99) and the distribution source (Walmart). But let’s wait until March when they officially drop it & see what happens. More to come!

Thanks again to the homie PERSUE for the invite. ✊🏽

“CANCEPTUAL V.4” OPENS SEPTEMBER 8, 2011 AT CREWEST



CANceptual v.4” will debut September 8, 2011 at Crewest Gallery in Los Angeles during the Downtown Artwalk from 6 to 10 pm with music by DJ Phyz Ed and refreshments provided by Jarritos and Roaring Lion Energy Drink and will be on view through October 1, 2011. CANceptual V.4, a large group show, will feature over 70 urban artists who create contemporary and edgy works of art using a spray can as their canvas. This show is dedicated to innovation through creation and design.


With retrospect to the last CANceptual shows Crewest has produced in the past years (2007 – 2009), this year’s CANceptual will be different in innovation and will showcase an installation in the Featured Artist Room entitled “Paint the Future”.

Paint The Future” (PTF) is a first-of-its kind art and design installation created for Canceptual V.4. PTF will ask: What does spray paint look like when graffiti artists design their own? What would paint manufacturers create if they consulted with professional graffiti artists as Nike does with Michael Jordan for basketball shoes? World renowned American graffiti artist Man One will collaborate with award winning design firm Studio One Eleven, to find answers to these questions. Paint The Future is being curated by Man One Design.
