Washington DC… the Watcher

mrmaxxmoses — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 11:53:51 +0000

This mural was designed to reflect the history and future of the 14th and Girard Street Park. It takes into account the rich history and present reality of the space. For those that are unfamiliar, this park has for most of its recent history been a park for elders to congregate, play checkers and various card games.
With the renewal of the park, it has moved more in the direction of being a multi generational meeting ground where kids of all ages come out to play basketball. Those same elders however have not left; in fact they have remained the primary users of the park and some of its most staunch defenders and advocates.
We have developed this mural with the help of Pose, Aniekan Udofia, the Clolumbia Heights Youth Club, the Mary Center, Martha’s Table and the Word’s Beats &Life’s own DC Urban Arts Academy.
Personally i’d like to thank Cory and Mazi of Words Beats & and Life for including me on this outstanding project and also Peter Krsko, of Albus Cavus for his assistance as well. But a special Thanks goes of to Amack and Isiah for there huge painting assistance… without there help wow this project would have never gotten completed on schedule.

2009 was equally divided between the east and west coast for sure and right after the sensational run of the play was over and the mural with the students at Kearny HS was completed it was back to the east coast, Washington DC, to work with Peter Krsko, and the Albus Cavus family.

But you no the phrase all work and no play carries a lot of weight so it was time spend some time with my kids. My first stop was to visit my daughter and attend her high school graduation… congratulations my princess, your future awaits you… This young lady finished high school while raising her one year old and being pregnant with her second child… amazing much success to you and your family…
Then off to visit My son at his school it was a pleasure to spend the day with him and his friend Stephen boy did we laugh… it was a great day

Back to the grizzle, it was time to begin the project of the year, 6 artist and 45 students were off to create the biggest mural in Washington DC. This project lasted about 8 weeks total and 6 weeks were dedicated to the preparation and education of mural making with our students. The last two weeks were just pure devotion, non- stop painting around the clock with Chor Boogie, Joshua Mays, Quest Skinner, Decoy and myself Mr. Maxx Moses. Although this mural was a lot of work it was also an extreme pleasure to collaborate and create with this unique group of artist and students. The ending dedication was attended with a huge turn out of artists, activist and politicians all celebrating and enjoying the completion of the mural. A big shout out to Mayor, Fenty and the entire DC Commission of Arts who supported this successful endeavor.

¬¬Beauty and the Beast

The wise ones say, when duality is dissolved and what appears to be separate and in opposition is realized as being one, life will be a continues flowing stream of joy and natural highness …

But before this sense of balance is created…we must experience the extreme!

On September 26,2009, Mid City Art Gallery, in Los Angeles California, presents “BEAUTY and the BEAST”. The courageous Installation/Exhibition from two of the most dynamic and opposing forces within the world of Spray Can Art… COPE 2 and CHORBOOGIE.

COPE 2 is a king and a Graffiti legend from the Bronx whose reputation for bombing has earned him the title “God of Destruction”. CHORBOOGIE is the rising Sun of California who’s work is purely legal, spiritual and therapeutic.

Two diverse and powerful individuals who have traveled the world afar with two totally different approaches, philosophies and techniques Will come together to expand create build and destroy our expectations our beliefs and our limitations of what art is …

Pose 2 and the MadCow WildStyle Graffiti Cow

mrmaxxmoses — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:45:54 +0000

Moo news

The “mad cow wild style” is one of many cows that were painted in April/May 2009 for the La Jolla street sculptures project and created by Pose 2 aka Mr. Maxx Moses. There were at least 20 various artists that participated in painting the cows, which was done specifically as a fundraiser for unfortunate kids.
Unfortunately there have been little efforts to get the cows auctioned off and sold so we (the artist) are looking for ways to get them sold and so any and all suggestions are welcome!!!
Anyhow here are a few photos off what was done by Vyal and myself!!!
