Lil Gwiz goin Crazy on craigslist

So Alan (aka lil Gwiz) just moved to Santa Monica… and has been furnishing the entire place from furniture he found on craigs list,  some how it all matches even though he got most of it from different locations. so it looks like he paid alot for all of it. his place is def chill as fuck, a bachelor pad for sure

we drove down to long beach to get a fridge for $40. And as we are drivin back; had a tire blow out on the 405. it was scary as fuck! we were in the hov lane and had to get over 4 lanes to pull over goinglike 70 riding on striaght rim haha

gettin a flat on a crazy ass highway.. the space to pull over is only  a little wider then the car

Here is the Fridge he got….

old and boring…

so we painted that shit GOLD!

we are probly gonna paint a stencil or somethin on the front of the fridge. plus we have lots of canvases we plan on making to fill up some of the wall space, because their is def alot.

Behind The Design II

Now that you all know the thought process behind the SuhReal Red Cardinal Icon and SuhReal’s Logo (if you don’t browse through the previous posts)move onto…

Raising the Flag

Beginning with the Raising the Flag Design. Obivoulsy its inspired based off by the infamous Raising the Flag of Iwo Jima photo by Joe Rosenthal. Like the Raising of Iwo Jima , any one raising and setting a flag on soil grounds is claiming its existence and there victory into the same soil they worked to set there flag on. 

Similarly with learning to accepting mistakes, ignoring negativity, and lost’. fighting/grinding my way past the mistakes and negativity and moving forward to get where SuhReal Stands, Our New beginnings into this Urban/lifestyle wear industry soil. Raising the flag claims we are here and setting it in this game’s soil along with the fellow good brands that are out right now.

So no matter the  rejections, words, and any form of negativity or positivity, SuhReal endures along the way, At the end of the day its a sign we’re claiming existence and set in stone into their soil. Its better than silence which is equivalent to being dead.

Power To The Message

Plain and simple, Choose beyond what’s real over society. Our statement is that Society gives us the limited and the unlimited, its just a matter of which sides of society you choose to side and roll with. Learn how to embraced its unlimited wonders and fight against its limitation (you can also check on SuhReal.com under About). 

This design is to remind ya’ll to gain strength, stay strong, and stay with what you think is real, even if its beyond societies definition of real.

Religously Free

Personally my favorite out of the line and the most sensitive design and topic. Coming from a very religious family, they used to always force me to read certain prayers, the whole “its not that you have to go to church, you GET to go to church..”, and endless stories of being forced into something different from my beliefs, except of course GOD (Love him and Thank him Everyday ya’ll!),NO OFFENSE. AGAIN LIKE I SAID THIS IS A SENSITIVE TOPIC TO TOUCH ON AND IN NO WAY AM I GOING AGAINST OR BASHING ON ANY RELIGION. I respect and am open to many different kinds of people into different religions.

The Reason I favor and Love this design the most more than anything is that I can get MAD DEEP into this topic of religion, its history, and the benefits and flaws behind Religion in general. I read up on a lot about the universe and it seems to always parallel itself with beliefs by religion, except a little more broaden. Unfortunately it is tooo long to blog about so to just mention the tip of the iceberg and make things short and simple: With many years of “THE ALL MIGHTY BOOK” being filtered throughout years by man, Its gotten so misinterpreted and somewhat twisted, an example is the Image of mother mary and jesus. There are so many different perspectives and beliefs on what they really look like that I decided to do the same. Sort of mimicking the fact of misinterpreting and twisting on what they really looked like that many others did, came out to this. Just to make things reeeal simple, Religion and life itself really comes down to Perspective and how we all choose to look at things. So I can respect others with different beleifs(perspectives). This image is a prime example of perspective.

Infinite Freedom

This design is really straight blunt and simple. The thought process behind this is not so much deep meanings or story behind it, but more of just the image itself. I wanted to create a design of an example of how I view many different art forms and sometimes the present itself, Graceful.

 To be able to watch and/or listen to a person LIVE who mastered their craft and seeing it in action certainly gives you that Natural/Graceful vibe. Like seeing Paul Rodriguez tre flip crook down handrails, looking/studying famous paintings, Dancers doing there thing on the floor, or listening to Luther Vandross or Journey music. They all give us certain types of vibes, and in general, Natural/Graceful. With that vibe comes with a sense of infinity. This design is just that, a natural/Graceful (abstract as well) image to view. Nothing more nothing less.
