New Kottonmouth Kings Website

Chris — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:17:55 +0000

Out with the old, in with the NEW! Its a new year and the Kings are starting it off right with a new website! We set out to design a new more functional website for the Kings a few months ago. We wanted to bring the full “Kottonmouth Experience” to the crowd.

Stuffed full of content and functionality by the good folks at RMR Labz this website really came to life! This website is alive! Fan tweets and posts as well as updates from the band members are posted on the site instantly through twitter and other social media apps.

One of my favorite sections on the site is the “420 Theater” Be sure to check it out!

Its been a long time in the making, but Low Life Music just released their 8 song EP, “Paycheck & Pocket Change”. The cd is a nice mix of hip hop/rock with that signature Low Life Music sound, including some of their hits like “Rock Me Tonight” and “Coming Home To You”(Feat. Big B). Be sure to download their album on itunes (click here) or pick up their album by clicking here! Great job guys, tunes came out sick!

D-Loc Rollin Papers Video

Chris — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:03:20 +0000

This was an interesting video to shoot. A remix of Chris Browns Look at me now (aka Rollin Papers) music video featuring D-Loc from the Kottonmouth Kings. We go together early in the day to start shooting this video and had the worst luck with every electrical appliance while trying to get set up to shoot this vid. Long story short, we didnt get the camera rolling till about eight or nine at night and shot well into the night. The video just premiered the other day on BallerStatus.Net and is now up on D-Loc’s Channel D T.V. on YouTube, be sure to check it out! Here are a couple stills and shots from the shoot.

When D-Loc says he’s rolling papers, he’s not kidding, This is a shot I took early in the rolling process and I see about 23 Joints and by the time we where finished there there where well over thirty something… and thats not including the ones sacrificed during the making of the video. Haha

We did several takes of him throwing out money and at one point he was just over shooting that scene and just threw the money up with that … Ended up being one of my favorite shots used in the vid.

Be sure to stay tuned for more videos with D-Loc!

Its been a work in progress for quite some time now and I think this is going to be the last time I make any changes on the piece… I just threw it up here, so now its final! This piece started off as one of my regular vectored girls… then I decided to go with the zombie approach… I think its one of my best girls to date. I might do some prints or skate decks with this one… Stay posted!

Portfolio Update – Tees!

Chris — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:23:20 +0000

I was digging through the archives the other day and found a bunch of tee’s that I hadn’t added to the site yet. Here are some old designs I did for several different clothing companies. Some of the tee’s where made and the others just get to sit in the design bank. I had to add these to my portfolio though. Some of the pieces are too good to be hidden or stashed in the archives forever. Click here to check out the updated apparel portfolio or just click on one of the swatches for the full image.

Happy Thanksgiving

Trying to finish up 30 Sketches – Still in boxes

Chris — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 05:51:22 +0000

So I’ve decided that the whole solid 30 days idea isn’t going to work for now, but I’m still going to at least finish up my thirty sketches… even if I’m stuck in boxes… Between visiting family and working on side projects, Im not so sure I picked the right thirty day block…. I am planning on continuing my sketches…. at least on a weekly basis. Stay tuned for more!
