Sat Sept 26th at The GuerillaGarden warehouse!!!!
You know what I love about living in Denver -- well, besides the fact that it's the best city in America as voted by me? We take care of our own here. God forbid (No, seriously, God forbid. Please!) that anything ever happens to me, I rest easy knowing that there will be good friends gathering around me to prop me up. Such is the case for old school b-boy Chunkroc of the Lordz of Finesse crew, who's battling stomach cancer. Led by DJ Stretch, Dent and Apostle, the Denver hip-hop community is rallying around Chunk by organizing a fundraiser at Guerilla Garden on Saturday, September 26 from 5-10 p.m. The aptly dubbed Chunkstravaganza is slated to feature a two-on-two b-boy/b-girl battle, a slew of guest DJs including, Stretch, B Money, Lazy Eyez, Cysko Rokwell, Fast Forward, Shake, Vajra, Thomas, SoundsSupreme and Raptor Red. Chunk, Jolt and Marz will also be throwing down some live art and the whole shebang is being judged by Al Capone, Fienz from LOF, Fate, Lalo from Get with This and Show from BreakEFX. With as divisive as the scene can be at times, it's refreshing to know that when it comes down to it, folks got your back. Godspeed, Chunk!

Stevon Lucero Interview
Steve is a very good friend and someone I look up to as well as a legend and major factor in the Denver art scene, yet he manages to fly way under the radar of the boujie art scene and press....I think its because he dont give a fuck and I love it! he paints because he was meant to do so and that he will continue to do till the day he moves on.

New community mural on 8th and Federal
I was asked to design and create a mural with a group of teens from Sisters Of Color all in a 9 hour time period. The kids where extremely hard workers and very talented. With that being said it couldn't have happened without them. The concept is based on a lot of differant elements of life that are important to those that participated, but you can take from it what you want. Rebel Diaz was on the scene with mad love and support. Shout out to Belinda, Adreena, Tins, and Stretch.

Eric heights/ Deca spotlight
Most of the realest and most talented people I know have left Denver in persuit of success elsewhere.In the case of my friends Deca and Eric Heights I fully understand based on the fact Denver has absolutely zero exposure for directors and the film industry, and just recently started to finally get the attention of labels signing Colorado hip hop artist. LA however is the place to be for these two and what they have accomplished is some of the best hip hop I have witnessed in a long time. With Eric working the camera and editing, and Deca making the beats he rhymes over this two man team is going to go places....dont sleep!

Rude Rec mural update....(taken from WestWord)
The Lookout Mountain Graffiti Project at Rude Rec Center from Joe Tone on Vimeo.
I got a call a few weeks ago from Jolt, local graffiti OG and head of the graffiti advocacy group Guerilla Garden.
"Hey, man," said Jolt, aka Jeremy Ulibarri. The background was noisy, like a freight train or an... indoor swimming pool? "We're doing that project I was telling you about today. You should come down and check it out."
When I've gotten invited to watch graffiti writers work in the past, the location has usually been some "permission wall" in an alley that no one ever sees (or a very non-permission spot on a rooftop in the middle of the night.) Jolt, though, always seems to have random projects cooking that involve teaching kids the more artistic, evolved side of graffiti. But working with businesses, non-profits or the city is a difficult line to walk, particularly since Denver -- as one of the first municipalities to make it illegal for minors to possess spray paint -- has been operating a very expensive battle against graffiti vandalism for years. The last thing officials want to do in most cases is put spray cans in the hands of unpredictable teens, no matter how structured the program.
Double whammy: Jolt's latest wall is not only actual city property, but the kids painting it are juvenile offenders serving time in the state youth corrections system. The $10,000 mural in the Rude Recreation Center near the Sun Valley housing projects is an experiment in restorative justice, explained juvenile parole officer Martin Friedman. The idea is to engage young offenders in public service to the same community that they had ostensibly harmed with their crime.
The fifteen-by-seventy-foot mural in the center's pool area was designed by Jolt and graffiti artist/illustrator Delton Demarest to look like a series of portholes looking out onto an underwater seascape. After writing a letter and submitting works of art, twelve teens were chosen to take part in a series of classes led by Jolt and Demarest on basic graffiti art techniques such as shading, color-matching and style. It's not easy stuff, which is why many teenage graffiti writers never progress beyond the crappiest of scrawled tags and wavy pot leaves.
But with a few sessions at Rude rec, many of the program's participants were fully painting their own characters and forming styles, clearly locked in the artistic process of experimentation and critique with their peers -- then stepping back and trying again, week by week. And at the end, their creation stays on the big wall of the community center for all to see. As one of the teens said to me, "It sure beats picking up trash on the side of some highway."
On the last day of the project, Westword intern Alexis Johnson made a quick video of the action (above). We weren't allowed to show any of the teens' faces or use their full names, since juvenile criminal records are supposed to be sealed and all. But you get the picture. A grand opening for the mural will be held at Rude rec, 2855 W Holden Place, on June 27 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m..

Mural Created by Kids at Rude Recreation Center
Denver Parks and Recreation is teaming up with Councilwoman Judy H. Montero, the Division of Youth Corrections, and two local artists to create a large scale community mural at Rude Recreation Center.
Delton Demarest and Jeremy Ulibarri, acclaimed graffiti artists, will instruct a group of 10-12 select youth from the Division of Youth Corrections on painting a mural in the pool area at Rude Recreation Center. The two local artists have painted multiple murals throughout the city including murals at the Sun Valley Youth Center, Swansea Recreation Center, Globeville Recreation Center, Athmar Recreation Center and the Santa Fe Arts District.
This restorative justice project is being coordinated through Montero's office and the Division of Youth Corrections, focusing on the theme of "repairing the harm." The project will create value for the recreation center as well as give the participating youth an opportunity to make a positive contribution to their community. The painting of the mural provides a great way for the participants to be positively engaged in the community and see how they can help their community instead of harming it.
The 15 feet by 70 feet mural will be painted this spring on six different Saturdays, beginning on Saturday, May 9.Rude Recreation Center is hoping the mural project will spark enough interest to start a graffiti art program at the center with Artists Jeremy and Delton as instructors after the mural is completed.
The Division of Youth Corrections is providing financial support for the program. Martin Friedman, a client manager and parole officer at the Division of Youth Corrections, will assist in choosing youth who will excel and be committed to the work to participate in the project. For more information contact Rude Recreation center at 720-865-0570
