Representing Rukru at July, 2010 Beat Swap Meet in L.A. Chinatown

Posted in Apparel, Art, custom lettering, graffiti, hip hop, Los Angeles, music, Sightings, t-shirts, The Crew on July 13th, 2010 by admin

We had the opportunity to set-up at the 2010 Los Angeles Beat Swap Meet in China Town this past Sunday and it was jumping. Among hundreds of DJs roaming around the plaza digging through crate after crate records searching for a long lost treasure, b-boys and b-girls headed off in a breaks competition, while others got trimmed up at the onsite barber. Some chose to practiced their scratch techniques and just about everyone made the rounds checking out all the fresh gear and merch. So a big thanks to everyone who stopped by the Rukru pad and to all of the graffiti writers who jumped on the blank Munny vinyl toy we set out to get covered in some good old fashion L.A. style pen slinging. Thanks to Beat Swap Meet for hosting the event, hip-hop philosophy for bringing the beats all day and a special thanks to Marco from SPRFKR for taking care of our Munny’s underside. Oh, and of course the biggest thanks to everyone who picked up a crispy Rukru tee. You are our lifeline and our blood. You’re keeping us going and we appreciate it. We still got some left in the shop so get ‘em while they’re hot.

More pics of our tagged Munny to come.

Sighting

Posted in Art, custom lettering, graffiti, hip hop, Sightings, Travels on May 27th, 2010 by admin

Just stumbled across this pic of a Rukru Sticker on my phone and thought it was awesome. I just love when there is so many tags that it looks like abstract wallpaper. I think this will be the wallpaper I use when I remodel my imaginary house. This was at a rad joint in Belltown SEA.

Besides the amazing decor of the head, this place had an awesome collection of portrait paintings range from L.A.’s Tupac Shakur to N.Y.C.’s Al Capone beside James Dean, Frank Senatra and an array of pin-up girls with dragons, swords and all sorts of badassness. Excuse the crap photos. The old camera phone sucks in low light.

Por Vida Rukru Repost

Posted in Art, custom lettering, Uncategorized on May 25th, 2010 by admin

Since I just reformatted the blog and can now have larger pics, I’m going to be reposting some of my favorites from the past. This is a little illustration I whipped up a while back and some brass knuckles that I engraved a by hand. They are a little rough, but aren’t we all? Por Vida Rukru, the only life for me.
