Vote for the Fam, Jon Knives’ submission in the artwork design contest for DJ Shadow’s latest project. Knives is one talented dude. He can rock a corrugated cardboard box or any surface and make it a masterpiece with a single Sharpie. He’s had one of the sickest drops in the SICK STAR Autograff Blackbooks by far. Oh yeah, he’s also the lead Art Director over at Meister Watches, manufacturers of fine timepieces so you’ve definitely seen his work before. There’s only a limited time left to vote so follow the link below. We’d bet on Knives in any gunfight so go and support the Fam.
“This my digital art interpretation of the track “Come on Riding”. Photoshop was used for the creation of this piece. Every detail was drawn and brushed by hand (Except for the carbon fiber).” – Jon Knives

The SICK STAR Autograff Blackbooks roll with us to every event we do. We’ve built a lot of lasting relationships starting from the books alone while perfect strangers were tagging them up. Some of those people have become good Friends &re Family and some of our greatest collaborators. Peace to anyone that has dropped in our books. We now present to you you, the SICK STAR Autograff Blackbooks featuring the Florida’s own, Dannielle Michelle.
After ruling the Sunshine State for a number of years in her hometown in Miami, Dannielle made her way to the West Coast to shoot with SICKS Degrees Fam, Foto Huynh. Now, she is a recent transplant to the Las Vegas Valley where she is starting her latest venture, “Sin City Cupcakes“, bringing alcohol-infused baked goods to your tastebuds. Something sweet with a little bite. We welcome Dannielle to the City Of Sin and wish her luck on her new endeavors.

“Currently in LA, the Japanese Student Oriented Events are mainly based off of temporary foreign exchange students; therefore the staff has constantly been changing. Also due to the decreased amount of exchange students from Japan, currently there is no annual Japanese Oriented event. “TOKYO NIGHT” an event that existed until last year, was most probably the most well-known annual event in America, however it did not happen this year.
This event was started in order to create a new era of annual Japanese/Asian music festivals. In the past, these events struggled with the pass down process and ended after a few years. However for this event it will be held every year and as a final destination, we hope it will not only be in LA but in locations such as New York, Los Vegas, Seattle, and expand throughout America.
As part of this event’s purpose, there will be experienced workers supporting the younger generation while providing people like students a location to experience planning events from the foundation to the end in a real business setting. By experiencing this event, we are hoping it will provide people with experience for future careers, broaden their possibilities, and discover new talents and abilities.” – Spiral
