Rude Rec mural update....(taken from WestWord)
The Lookout Mountain Graffiti Project at Rude Rec Center from Joe Tone on Vimeo.
I got a call a few weeks ago from Jolt, local graffiti OG and head of the graffiti advocacy group Guerilla Garden.
"Hey, man," said Jolt, aka Jeremy Ulibarri. The background was noisy, like a freight train or an... indoor swimming pool? "We're doing that project I was telling you about today. You should come down and check it out."
When I've gotten invited to watch graffiti writers work in the past, the location has usually been some "permission wall" in an alley that no one ever sees (or a very non-permission spot on a rooftop in the middle of the night.) Jolt, though, always seems to have random projects cooking that involve teaching kids the more artistic, evolved side of graffiti. But working with businesses, non-profits or the city is a difficult line to walk, particularly since Denver -- as one of the first municipalities to make it illegal for minors to possess spray paint -- has been operating a very expensive battle against graffiti vandalism for years. The last thing officials want to do in most cases is put spray cans in the hands of unpredictable teens, no matter how structured the program.
Double whammy: Jolt's latest wall is not only actual city property, but the kids painting it are juvenile offenders serving time in the state youth corrections system. The $10,000 mural in the Rude Recreation Center near the Sun Valley housing projects is an experiment in restorative justice, explained juvenile parole officer Martin Friedman. The idea is to engage young offenders in public service to the same community that they had ostensibly harmed with their crime.
The fifteen-by-seventy-foot mural in the center's pool area was designed by Jolt and graffiti artist/illustrator Delton Demarest to look like a series of portholes looking out onto an underwater seascape. After writing a letter and submitting works of art, twelve teens were chosen to take part in a series of classes led by Jolt and Demarest on basic graffiti art techniques such as shading, color-matching and style. It's not easy stuff, which is why many teenage graffiti writers never progress beyond the crappiest of scrawled tags and wavy pot leaves.
But with a few sessions at Rude rec, many of the program's participants were fully painting their own characters and forming styles, clearly locked in the artistic process of experimentation and critique with their peers -- then stepping back and trying again, week by week. And at the end, their creation stays on the big wall of the community center for all to see. As one of the teens said to me, "It sure beats picking up trash on the side of some highway."
On the last day of the project, Westword intern Alexis Johnson made a quick video of the action (above). We weren't allowed to show any of the teens' faces or use their full names, since juvenile criminal records are supposed to be sealed and all. But you get the picture. A grand opening for the mural will be held at Rude rec, 2855 W Holden Place, on June 27 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m..

Mural Created by Kids at Rude Recreation Center
Denver Parks and Recreation is teaming up with Councilwoman Judy H. Montero, the Division of Youth Corrections, and two local artists to create a large scale community mural at Rude Recreation Center.
Delton Demarest and Jeremy Ulibarri, acclaimed graffiti artists, will instruct a group of 10-12 select youth from the Division of Youth Corrections on painting a mural in the pool area at Rude Recreation Center. The two local artists have painted multiple murals throughout the city including murals at the Sun Valley Youth Center, Swansea Recreation Center, Globeville Recreation Center, Athmar Recreation Center and the Santa Fe Arts District.
This restorative justice project is being coordinated through Montero's office and the Division of Youth Corrections, focusing on the theme of "repairing the harm." The project will create value for the recreation center as well as give the participating youth an opportunity to make a positive contribution to their community. The painting of the mural provides a great way for the participants to be positively engaged in the community and see how they can help their community instead of harming it.
The 15 feet by 70 feet mural will be painted this spring on six different Saturdays, beginning on Saturday, May 9.Rude Recreation Center is hoping the mural project will spark enough interest to start a graffiti art program at the center with Artists Jeremy and Delton as instructors after the mural is completed.
The Division of Youth Corrections is providing financial support for the program. Martin Friedman, a client manager and parole officer at the Division of Youth Corrections, will assist in choosing youth who will excel and be committed to the work to participate in the project. For more information contact Rude Recreation center at 720-865-0570

Artistas Revolucionarios
August 1st through August 30th

The work, which includes a superb collection of colorful paintings, drawings and jewelry, serves as a glorious reminder of the vibrant cultural art scene our city has to offer.

New billboard on Colfax and Washington
The migration of the GuerillaGorilla, I like the idea of the Gorilla still remaining in his natural habitat thanks to all the anonymous supporters...he tends to have lots of meanings to lots of people. I like the fact that the lines between legit and non legit art are blurred in this situation. The billboard is for the "Urban Nature" art exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens and features work by Lady Pink, The Mac, Each, Dread, Stevon Lucero, and myself.....

I.R.S
The Paperwork Reduction Act Notice of 1980 is the key to exposing and understanding the truth about America's tax laws. The truth has been in print (the code) since 1916, and reaffirmed in print again recently. In 1985, when the IRS complied with the mandates of the Paperwork Reduction Act by providing to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the Table shown in 26 CFR 602.101, the stage was set to effect the end of the IRS in America. The IRS cannot ask you for more information, under any given code section, than this Table shows is required by that code section. This Table is from Title 26 (the Internal Revenue Code), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which implement the United States Code (USC) sections providing for the legal reduction of paperwork, and the administrative costs associated with its maintenance.
The following, showing the actual legal code sections that the IRS itself cites and invokes, should serve as proof beyond any reasonable doubt what-so-ever that the income tax laws are being intentionally misapplied to all American Citizens in America, in order to fund an unspoken, and un-American political agenda of socialist global control. To understand just how important the Paperwork Reduction Act is to the tax laws, keep in mind that since 1980 the IRS has been required by law to provide a notice of it (Notice 609) with every single piece of correspondence they issue to individuals. You can find a complete copy of this notice on Page 1 of any Form 1040 Tax Instruction Booklet. But, the IRS won’t tell you about the Code of Federal Regulations where you can lookup the information collection (form) requirements of any given code section. They just tell you that you’re supposed to know the law. Well, after reading this book, YOU WILL !

Hong Kong mourns graffiti king and his vanishing art
Shout out to the homies at HypeWagon for this one
Reverse graffiti
From Alexandre Orion:
“At dawn on July 13th 2006, I started work on an intervention in the Max Feffer tunnel joining Av. Europa and Cidade Jardim. The intervention was through a process of subtraction, scrapping off layers of soot from vehicle exhaust built up on tunnel walls to produce images of human skulls.
Police checked us out several times during the early morning when I was working on “cleaning” the tunnel. However, as expected, they could not stop me drawing skulls in the tunnel. “Cleaning” is not a crime. What is a crime is the environmental damaged caused by unashamed pollution. And, as also expected, the State did not let the matter rest there. There was only one way to prevent me from “cleaning” my way, and that was for them to clean up too. And they did!
The intervention had reached 160 meters when São Paulo municipality started its own first cleaning operation there. However, contrary to my expectation, they did not clean the whole tunnel. What really would have prevented me from continuing would have been their removing all the soot which was the raw material used for the work. The State’s intention was to just remove the intervention. They annulled the message by creating a huge clean area and leaving the rest of the sooty tunnel as it was. So this was another crime: censorship! lol…”

WestWords best of......
It's kind of random but the WestWord newspaper voted GuerillaGarden Denver's best "graffiti advocate". I'm thinking it came about due to us telling Marc Ecko to fuck himself.
Thanks Jared!
Guerilla Garden
www.guerillagarden.com
Guerilla Garden ain't no bunch of tag-bangers. The crew is Denver's unofficial graffiti-advocacy organization, and its members are some of the city's top graffers, including Jher, Jolt, Voice, Crims, and Emit. Since forming in 2005, they've worked with several programs that promote graffiti as an artistic endeavor -- not a facet of thug life -- and have become a conduit for underground muralists to break into art galleries. If one of these guys (or their followers) deigns to hit your garage, it's because you're paying them cash money to do so.
Thanks Jared!

The Pirate Sygnal
These are my peoples rightchere "The Pirate Sygnal" consists of Yonnas and DJ A*What! two bad motherfuckers doing something I have never seen before. They will without a doubt in my mind catch the attention of the masses in the very near future. Based out of Denver, Bawlarado you can catch them in L.A. at the Knitting Factory doing shows with R.A. Tha Rugged Man or on tour with names like Kool Keith, also found on the regular at any local hole in the wall bar or wharehouse tearing that shit down like its a colliseum, you haven't seen shit till you have witnessed The Pirate Sygnal's live show. Check them out at thepiratesygnal.com tell him Jick Jolty sent you.
All my Cheros stand up!
Los Tucanes De Tijuana in this motherfucker. If you don't know these guys are like the Mesakin Beatles. I never seen a rapper with the amount of groupies these old men have, you ever had a bitch backstage making menudo? I didn't think so playa. With folk songs about pinatas full of ecstasy how can you go wrong?
"Magic" Las Vegas 07
Phat Farm was kind enough to send your boy JJ to "Magic" this year. Here is a lil taste of the show, I met one of my new favorite dj's on this trip "Qool DJ Marv" based out of NY killing it worldwide check him out at myspace.com/djqoolmarv
