Converse opened a new flagship retail store on the 3rd St Promenade in Santa Monica. Behind the cashstand is an 11ft x 16ft wall where every six months they will feature a new L.A. artist. I was selected to be the featured artist for the grand opening of the store and this is the mural I brought to life.

The Orange Gorilla, the mohawk, and me, have been quiet the last few months as we transitioned to living back home in the United States after three and half years of meandering around South America. Rest assured though, that during this recent span of radio silence we’ve been busy here in L.A. setting up the new Gorilla Studio while simultaneously conspiring when and how to UNLEASH the Orange Beast back on the home front.

As it turns out “when” is now and “how” is the 11′x16′ mural I did for the grand opening of the new Converse retail store on the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica. Check it out!

We’re back, and it’s good to be home…bringing the funk.

Day 5 – Yeah, so we’re gonna need you to come in Saturday to finish those TPS reports and add another 5 inches to the bottom of the mural.

It’s been a wild crazy ride down here, full of ups and downs, like any good adventure should be. I would attempt to put what this all means into context for you now, but the truth is I still haven’t been able to get my own mind wrapped around it. What I can say is that while one adventure is ending, a new one is about to begin. The Orange Gorilla, the mohawk, and I are bound for Los Angeles, where we’ll continue our unending quest for world domination, and making cool stuff (not necessarily in that order).

Until then, I leave you with the last 4 things I made while living in Buenos Aires.

MUSIC IN THE VIDEO

ARTIST: Say Hi
ALBUM: Discosadness
SONG: Unless the Laker Game Was On

The song in Skatepark Yeti comes from the one-man band Say Hi (formerly Say Hi To Your Mom). While you might see Say Hi touring as a full band, when its time to make the music the man behind it all is Eric Elbogen. The song “Unless the Laker Game Was On” is a hidden gem off of his 2002 debut album Discosadness. What has Eric been doing since that first album? Staying busy making fantastical tunes. Say Hi just released it’s 8th album – Um, Oh Oh. Check out one of his latest tracks, “Devils”, here. You can get the latest Eric Elbogen and Say Hi news and goodness online at the following places:

The image above used for reference comes from the lens of the talented photographer Eric Sauseda. I’m a huge fan of Eric’s work, particularly his when it comes to skateboarding and music, so I feel fortunate to have collaborated with him on this piece. You can check out more of Eric’s photographic awesomeness at Groovehouse Photography or catch him on twitter at @groovehouse.
