Homebase Studio’s is a creative design centre dedicated to collaboration in new facets for art exhibition, event management, creative & cultural consulting, curatorship, and artist promotion based out of Squamish B.C. and abroad.

Recently owner/operator of Homebase; Stan Matwychuk got together with local Calgary Artschool Artist Mark Kowalchuk for some random freestyled art collabs. Hit the (more) button to read about the process and see these collaborations NOW please.

Having been a fan of Artschool Art for a few years now I’m always stoked to see new peices. I asked Mark about the process behind these peices and here’s what he had to say:

“We (Stan, Mark & Samera Gibson) had just found these tables blank and decided to freestyle on them… They are spraypaint, acrylic, and ink. Basically we started with the green and wood one. Stan worked on the green characters and then let me fill in the negative space after. Collaberating is about taking turns on an object; it’s like playing tennis… You hit the ball then he does then you hit it again. It’s cool to work over the other artists work as long as it works in the design aswell. It’s really fun cause you have a chance to step back and get pumped on what the other guy is putting down and it gives you more ideas when you see where the other artist is going. The second table was the purplish one with all the paint drippings on it. Stan started with his character again. I always gave Stan hometown honours of starting the work seeing as it was his studio and his materials. Then I painted the organic fleshy section – which is supposed to represent ligaments or muscle fibre. Finally Sam was working in the gallery and decided she’d add some drippings to the work to finish it off. The idea is to just live in the moment and not over think it. No planning just do it. The final piece I decided I needed a character to battle Stan’s character. After he painted his buddha like figure that looks like it has a stump for a horn; I decided a horned (unicorn like) businessman would be a good adversary.

Better than his first full album Wale seems to kill it on his mixtapes and miss on his albums… Oh well, mixtapes are free so it works out in our favor and his latest More About Nothing is his best yet. Download it HERE.

Here’s another good one worth a download. G.O.O.D Ass Mixtape features a few new tracks from Kid Cudi and Kanye. The album has a few soft songs that are best to just skip over, or listen if that’s your thing.

Download it HERE

Always worth looking out for is The Cool Kids.They’ve got a new album on the way so stay tuned, it should be good.

The fact that these artists make all of these albums available for FREE downloads continues to blow my mind. Most of them are better than their albums you have to pay for.

Check em and enjoy.

Is it a car video? Is it a hip hop video? Is it an infomercial?  Is it a new Gymkhana? Or is it just 100% rad? Yup, yup, yup, yup and yup. Ken Black is at it again. This time he’s rocking it in a Ford, with The Cool Kids and a bunch of ladies, lights and some fixies. It’s just all amazing. Oh yeah, and there’s a new collection of shoes in there too.

Check it and enjoy!

Above is the first of five bikes that are being released, the rest are below. The bikes are being raffled off at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA. They are really bright but if you’re familiar with Dalek’s work then you know these bikes are right up his alley. Having been a long time fan of Dalek (especially the space monkies) I have to say, the project looks pretty sweet and I’d ride one without an ounce of hesitation. I love me my bull horn bars and the frames look amazing.

Check out more details at LDG, Dalek Site, and see the shorts at Hurley
