Dave Kinsey !!!

Another artist I've been into for a while is Dave Kinsey.  I first noticed his work while I was going to school in San Diego and I would recognize his characters on walls, on pillars, and on skateboards.  He also worked under the tag name "Bust" and started BLK/MRKT back in 2001 with Shepard Fairey (Obey GIant) and just kept on doing some really cool artwork ever since. 

I dig his recent pieces with thick textures and intricate details.  His current color palette is pretty dope too.

These are some of the very first prints/stickers I saw of his around town.  I remember several of my friends having them in their living rooms and on their decks.

My first piece of original art!  I love this because it was screened onto a 78 record and the color matches the DCxKinsey kicks he released.  I bought it at one of his solo exhibitions back in 2003.

I used to drive by this big piece in San Diego everyday.  That's when I started to get into his work as well as the Obey Giant stuff.
