Thur 21 Apr, 2011. Warfare Crew Back Burners Denim Patch Exhibition, Sydney, Australia.

I was invited to be part of Warfare Crews Back Burners exhibition along with a lot of other peeps from around this country and a US entry as well! All artists ranged from old school through to now. There was a huge number of jackets that were on display with some guys getting in more than one!! All were A-Class and great to see a variety of style and concepts on display.

I have been busy of late with a few projects on the go so I only had time to work on one jacket along with my crew partner Peril who both of us are members of the almighty Zulu Nation - Australian chapter (Z-61) and produced a back burner for our chapter leader Zulu King Excel. Peril created the character of Excel and i did the lettering.

We also submitted another jacket each that we have done in the past. Peril’s jacket was 1 of 3 he did for his band 1200 Techniques and mine was out of my vault which is my original Spicer’s jacket I wore with pride at age 12 back in ’84. This was my first attempt at a back patch using fabric textas. The design reflects around the time of Beat Street so a lot of inspiration from Bronx, New York!

Peace, P.

Enjoy!
