Images from Haze’s NY Exhibition that I DJ’d

December 09th, 2009

Last month I had the honor of DJing Eric Haze’s first art show in years, New Abstracts and Icons at New York’s Level 2 Gallery. It was a classic New York affair, exemplified by the picture I snapped below of the man himself with Lee from Wild Style.

As the exhibition draws to a close, Haze posted some pictures and words on his 12oz Prophet blog. (I snatched the other pics in this post from there.) It’s fascinating to read his personal take on coming up as an artist in the 80s alongside Keith Haring, Futura et al., and how these guys got into to the art scene with illustrated works while he gravitated more towards graphic design and lettering… only to finally come full circle (no pun intended) with the abstract works in this new show. Made me reflect on the different forms of music that DJs dabble in. I encourage you to read it!

Haze paints the Las Vegas Stussy store

February 05th, 2009

My favorite slept-on blog post is this one. It’s slept-on because it has no image, which is the whole point of the post, but I told the story of an evening when I went to Haze‘s house (sans camera) for a BBQ and he showed me all these crazy acetates of my favorite albums’ artwork. I strongly encourage you to read it.

Anyway Haze is the don, and he’s the homie too, and he just painted the interior of the Las Vegas Stussy store. Read more about it here.
