#HIT&RUN #AHOLSNIFFSGLUE #DOYOURJOB

2012-08-12T11:51:00.001-07:00

On 8/9/12, I went to the opening of Ahol Sniffs Glue's solo art show at Gregg Shienbaum Fine Art. Smooth beats from Metro Zu, and awesome artwork by Ahol, couldn't get any better then that. The show will be running till the 27th, so I encourage everyone who is here in Miami to go check it out, if you haven't already. I dropped some questions to Ahol, just so you all can get the scoop on who Ahol is. Also I only posted a few photos, because everyone should DO THEIR JOB and go check this dudes artwork out, you won't be disappointed.

Q&A with Ahol Sniffs Glue

MSA: So every artist has their beginning, where did it start for you?
AHOL: I use to draw characters and make my civilization of creatures and based them on people around. I was inspired by my friend Gonz and his ex Totals. I then started to get more and more serious about creating. That's pretty much it.

MSA: How long have you been writing/painting?
AHOL: 10+ years, don't remember exactly.

MSA: So it was all over the local news, and we all saw it on Facebook. But tell my followers what happened that night of the Hit & Run accident.
AHOL: I was leaving work on a rainy day on my Honda Ruckus. Some lady wasn't paying attention and she turned into me head on. I ended up under her car, she backed up, pulled up next to me, I asked for help and she said sorry and drove away before I could get her plate. Sux

MSA: What was your main influence that propelled you into the art world?
AHOL: I was inspired by my brother and by Gonz and Totals, creativity is the ultimate. Im glad I pursued it.

MSA: Tell me something about your art style, any significance to those eyes you create?
AHOL: The eyes are the sleepy drugged out eyes from my characters. They are numb from all the shit we are exposed to.

MSA: Any funny stories of being out, bombing with your crew?
AHOL: My friends are awesome, ssk is the best. I love my dogs.

MSA: SSK The Stay Shitty Komitee... How did it form? Who reps it?
AHOL: Ssk is gonz's making, there's a lot of people in it, even people that don't paint. Some people in the crew are gonz, 3i7, disem, audet, elite, stress, kombs, asik, where, Jonas, bruk. I'm sure I'm missing some

MSA: What's your favorite thing about being an artist?
AHOL: I love creating, regardless of what it is. My life has purpose through creativity

Sick Nasty...

2012-08-10T13:46:00.002-07:00

Ticoe from TcP is sick nasty with the paint. This video shows just that. The video was directed, filmed, and edited by Roberto "BEANS" Granizo, who is part of Primal Pop Media Works.

TooK x CyNiC TcP...

2012-06-15T11:19:00.000-07:00

The style is, and I can't stress this enough, incredible. Typoe and Cynic killed it!!! These pieces are amazing and the colors are perfect. There is nothing left to say about these to artist, except they "Taking City Property" any chance they get... (RiP Took)

The Crunk Punks...

2012-06-14T17:13:00.000-07:00

TCP has some really talented writers on the crews roster. You have to give respect to their work, each writer bringing an individual style, but staying organized and fresh all at the same time. Mad props to the TCP crew for keeping their steez "Miami."

Chor Boogie...

2012-04-03T19:28:00.000-07:00

I'm sure we are all fans of Chor Boogie's art work. Mixing his technique he learned from other street artist and his influence from other renaissance and also more modern artist, like Van Gogh and Dali just to name a few. This Cali native always shows love to Miami by bringing more color to an already colorful city. This piece was done during Art Basel, and it sure is amazing.

Freshness...

2012-03-19T18:08:00.002-07:00

My homie Torek Le Fresh is a king of freshness. Dropping multiple Freshies on the outside wall of Yo Space. These characters are seriously fresh all DAE.

Pluto...

2012-03-18T12:13:00.000-07:00

I was going through my pictures and I came across this piece by Pluto, which looks extremely intricate. The lines are so clean, and the colors really pop. An amazing style of shapes for the letters. True skill and dedication went into making this piece, and it payed off.

Cold Blooded "Sasn"

2012-03-13T14:40:00.000-07:00

Sasn has an incredible style. This piece has a great color scheme, and the letters look so futuristic. Miami has some of the most talented artist and Sasn is definitely on that list.

Ticoe's 004 Connec Commercial...

2012-03-10T11:32:00.000-08:00

I thought this commercial for 004 Connec was sick. Just watch Ticoe get down on this wall, straight genius. Enjoy the show!!!

Ahol Sniffs Glue...

2012-03-02T15:55:00.001-08:00

Ahol is another artist, that can go in the category of favorites. Great stickers, and amazing artwork, Ahol gives Miami some artistic creativity. He is doing big things, a rising star in the street art world, here in Miami.You can see his work all over Wynwood. You can't miss it, using his signature eyes, they are everywhere. Big ups to Ahol Sniffs Glue a.k.a Alouishous San Gomma, Stay Shitty King. This wall was a colabo with Pest, another killer in the street art world.

You Gotta See It to Believe it...

2012-03-01T23:09:00.000-08:00

Unix Fine Art has discovered one of the best contemporary fine artist in the world. I'm not trying to hype my homie, but I wouldn't write about him if I didn't think he deserves a spot on the blog. His name is Maximillian Wiedemann, and he comes from London. MaxiBillion never saw the inside of an art academy. His career started on the line with a spray can in his hand, and getting chased by dog. From a background of advertising and business development, he spontaneously took a decision to devote and merge his corporate knowledge with the opportunity to produce artwork that is relevant to the day and culture of our current habitat. If I quote Max right now, " I feel like I have a certain reality that is rare and relevant, We are just filling in the gaps that Andy didn't manage to wrap up."

2012-01-12T17:46:00.000-08:00

My homie Alec Monopoly has been on a serious world adventure. Leaving his mark behind him as he travels to a new location. He placed an amazing Butterfly right on the beach, bringing some more beauty to Mexico. His butterfly steez is one of my favorites, and hope to see more fluttering around the world. Stay Up Brother!!!!

The New York Wall...

2011-12-20T16:38:00.000-08:00

During Art Basel, a lot of people found themselves going from one event to the next. What they did not realize is the real action was in Wynwood. An insane amount of graff writers and street artist had taken over the streets of Wynwood. I was invited by Samuel Mark, an influential artist from New York, to come by and film the wall he was working on. Samuel and a few other artist created an amazing mural that mixed graff and street art. Signifying graff writers and street artist are equal to one another. They do what they do for one reason and that is to occupy as much wall space as possible. If you ever find yourself in Wynwood, I urge you to go check out this amazing wall, located at NW 2nd Ave and 22nd st. To all the artist who participated, Stay Up, Go Big, and Never Quit. Samuel Mark, Fumero, AOM, Abso, Sev,Veks, Velo, Lost, Alec Monopoly, Werds, Eres, Leaf, Json, Meno, and Beaso, you all did an amazing job! (Click the photo's to enlarge)

Fumeroism...

2011-12-05T17:41:00.000-08:00

He did it again, and trust me its worth the stop to admire and catch a flick. His style is unlike any other and you can tell he knows exactly what he is doing. He told me himself, "I am a perfectionist" and it shows through his artwork. I have much respect for Fumero and hope all his students understand how lucky they are to learn from a master. I've also included some action shots of my homie at work.

Del Toro Shoe Gallery 2011

2011-12-05T12:32:00.000-08:00

In the spirit of Art Basel Miami, Del Toro Shoes and Miami Street Art put together a spectacular event. We were able to get 18 amazing artists to design the classic Del Toro slipper, made of canvas, with their own unique style. Even Pharrell Williams designed a pair for the event, but it's more like he autographed them. Everyone who attended, was amazed with the shoes and the event was a great success. Visit Del Toro Shoes for information about the different styles of shoes that are available. WE LOVE ART BASEL MIAMI!!!

Particle Candyland...

2011-10-26T10:42:00.000-07:00

This mural is one of my favorites, because the colors and design is amazing, and this artist deserves some shine. Pest is a local Miami artist, who has great style. The art itself resembles what you would see through a microscope like some bacteria and amoebas floating around on a slide. To check out more works by Pest go to131 Projects. I hope to see more works by Pest, during Art Basel.
