Betsey Johnson – www.betseyjohnson.com
NEW YORK DESIGNER BETSEY JOHNSON has built her long-standing career in fashion by following her own set of rules. Known for her celebration of the exuberant, the embellished, and the over the top, Betsey has been rocking the fashion industry with her unique and original designs since the 1960′s. Her commitment to remain true to her one-of-a-kind vision has afforded Betsey continued success in an industry known for its fickleness. Her ability to change with the times while keeping her designs pure has not gone unnoticed. At the 1999 CFDA Awards, Betsey was presented The Timeless Talent Award created especially for her, which recognized her influence on fashion throughout her career.

Kazilla – www.kazilla.biz
Kazilla aka Cassie Williams is a young artist who’s style bounds between the street arts and fine arts. Originally from Santa Fe, NM she currently exhibits the breadth of her work in Miami, FL. After moving to the east coast her work has transcended the street arts and combined her two styles of fine art and graffiti to create an edgy, colorful clash of two very different worlds. The feminine figures, surreal landscapes and vibrant colors create a daunting visual feast for all audiences. She also works as a live artist, designer, muralist, photographer, producer, lyricist, singer and musician.

Deviantart.com interviews me @ Multiversal 2010, during Art Basel Miami

        
i'm a big fan of deviantart.com, you can tell cuz i wouldnt' stop going on and on like a blushing teenager stumbling for words. 

you can almost touch the energy radiating out of me. a direct result of near 10,000 people coming thru Multiversal for the weekend of Art Basel. such a high energy show with all the exhibitions, fests, feats and jawdroppers that coursed thru the days and into the nights.


I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to meet such visionaries that are currently representing Deviant Art. Its refreshing to see activists within their community progressively sharing the wealth of their social network.

By the time i met up with Nicole and heather from DA, i was on a different level of vibrations. these chics were so hip too. we spent a while talking and building on ideas for our artistic communities and the future. It was a rare and elevating experience to kick it with these hip kitties.


THANKS DEVIANTART

MULTIVERSAL GROUP SHOW - art basel miami 2010

Art Basel Miami Beach is the most important art show in the United States – a cultural and social highlight for the Americas. As the sister event of Switzerland’s Art Basel, it is the most prestigious art show worldwide for the past 40 years.  In that spirit, for the duration of Art Basel,  the Multiversal group show will feature a unique series of exhibitions showcasing the works of many talented artists from around the world.

Multiversal 2010 will feature both established and emerging names from around the world.  Their media spans the fine arts including: live art, sculpture, animation, photography, body painting, custom toys and more.  Around all of this will swirl a vortex of aerialists, burlesque and belly dancers, exhibitionists, extemporaneous theater, all to the rhythm of live and recorded music – truly a Multiversal human experience that will be open to the public from  December 2-5 at Art Basel Miami 2010.

Multiversal 2009 was a huge fan favorite and drew more than 4,000 visitors.

Multiversal 2010 will be located at the Grey Area (130 NW 24TH STREET, MIAMI, FL), where we’ll take over 4,500 square feet of indoor space and more than 4,500 square feet of tented and open-air space adjacent, bringing art fans a truly can’t-miss event.

HERE IS A PREVIEW OF THE LINEUP...

KAZILLA painting live at WHO CAN ROAST THE MOST? 13 Miami, Florida

Ground Zero Crew Presents

Who Can Roast The Most ? 13 Miami, Florida

Saturday October 23rd
Photobucket

...Since 1999, Who Can Roast The Most? has grown to be recognized as a Premier B-boy (Break Dancing) Event which is been acclaimed as a “MUST” by dancers, and fans in Miami, and beyond. The event has been traditionally produced by “Ground Zero Crew”, the Miami-based, world renowned break-dancing Group. The event has been held for over a decade in multiple venues including South Florida, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and New York City. Saturday, October 23rd WCRTM returns to its birth place of Miami Florida for its 13th installation. This return is especially significant as marks the return of the classic combatants of WCRTM or rather the first Bboys to do the 1vs.1's later described below.All of Miami's most legendary bboys return to battle it out with the Worlds best.

The event derives its name from the terminology used when a dancer or crew are “out-done in a battle”, or lose in a competitive dance situation: , "Oh you got roasted!". Indeed, Who Can Roast the Most? boasts its exceptional popularity among the Global B-boy Community, for its unique formula and approach. It has come to be recognized as the ultimate in “One-on-One Battles”,staying clear of the well treaded contests that are ubiquitous among the scene, by bringing together a cast of characters drawing from talent pools from opposite geographical locations culminating in an energetic experience of stylistic dynamism. The best B-boys and B-girls in the East or South East face off against the best in the West and Mid-West. Participants undergo a grueling 10 rounds of competitive dancing where their talent and stamina are tested to their limit. All in ALL, the event promotes excellence in performance, without seeking to declare one of the sides Victorious! That’s Right! There is NO Winner announced to add to the hype, and the event features NO JUDGES. Fans do vote online for who they want to see perform. And what they consider to be dream matches, and “Who Can Roast the Most?” turns them into a reality!

workworkwork

i find myself between a rock and a hard place.

the rock is my art. my foundation. my creative force. my drive in life.

the hard place is my job, which is sucking up every moment of free time i have, leaving me wanting and longing for all those times i used to rock.

sometimes we have to do what we have to do, but what is it worth? is it valuble to forsake those things you stirive for just to make the almighty dollar?

therefor lies my conundrum.
