COLLABOS [LINK]
Graphic design, painting, drawing, photography is the name of the rose when it comes to the cryptoblank project. With a few friends doing some custom pieces these should definitely please the eye and sooth the soul. With the finalization of this first installation of the crypto-blank project I was super stoked at the positive reception of the collaboration pieces. Many-o-artists wanted in the collabo after seeing the finished pieces and saw the potential in this medium. Although this project was time consuming and costly it may be a while before doing a second series. Big up’s to all the participants and for getting everything in on time on short notice and doing their thang on my blank. ~a (ps. request a reprint at info@mycryptonauts.com)
HONOZOOLOOO x myCRYPTONAUTS
Many mahalos to Honozooloo for collaboration efforts and a dope execution for the time allotted due to unforeseen circumstances.
The location was set in downtown Honolulu in the crack alley region of Chinatown. After several piss encounters from wandering drunkards we were forced to leave due to billowing clouds of substance abuse blocking our exit plan and clouding our vision. We did however escape unscathed just in the knick of a meth convention. Here’s the photos we got for the good times we had. ~a

PFOM AT EXCLUSIVE
A big mahalo to Christina at Exclusive for letting me a be part of this event in which I was able join Pocket Full of Monsters’ Angst Woebot, 2H, and Phoneticontrol in this dope show and live painting exhibition. A big up’s to Kai Media for their topnotch ill video that captured the event. Also be sure to check out the Exclusive Boutique on 1311 Kapiolani Blvd. for some of the killa artwork still left for sale, but more importantly the super fresh women’s gear and various men’s t-shirts. PFOM !!! ~a
PFOM MASHUP @ MUNKYKING HOLLYWOOD PFOM X myCryptonauts is super stoked to join forces with Munky King (Designer Toy Temple) in LA for a one night-stand of pocket full of monster proportions. WIth most of the PFOM crew in attendance, I’m sure there will be many collabos and live painting extravanganzas.
UPDATE/PRESS: the show was packed the entire night with PFOM crew krushing the Mash-Up canvas and black books. I met so many cool cats that night and chilled with old homies, it was a fun time. Vinyl Pulse was also in the mix, machine gunning the show with his finger on the trigger all night long. Check out his shots and his write-up on his site.
MORE PRESS: Hana from ToyCyte.com got a chance to roll in to see the show and had some nice things to say about myCryptonauts. Read More. ~a
