Gift Ideas: Custom Paintings by Yours Truly
November 14, 2011
The holidays are fast approaching and perhaps you are looking to find some personal gifts for your loved ones.. well, might I suggest a customized painting by yours truly?
Many currently recognize me for other talents mostly involving fashion and hip hop, but my first love is with art. Pencil and paper was my thing as a kid, toys were secondary. I feel that I still apply my eye for aesthetics in other areas of my life, but my actual art skill is definitely cryptic to most.
Below are some examples of 20×30 canvas work with acrylic paint. The KRS1 piece was a custom job for a client, sold for $300. The following piece is titled, “Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground, Back to the Wall” – painting still available for $300.
For inquiries, contact me at risism.com@gmail.com ..prices vary with size and work.
P.S. Sintex is also another great artist to contact for custom paintings ;)

Vintage Sportswear Shop in the Works
May 4, 2011
I am working on launching an online resale shop under the name, honeyBOOM, a retail line that focuses on vintage sportswear by the way of my own designs thrown in the mix. The vintage pieces I collect are old school bboy/bgirl inspired. I have lots of windbreakers, leotards, & track jackets, with a dose of Kangol hats & Cazal frames. I also include other unique, yet relatable, apparel like vintage rompers & crop tees. My own designs will come in a form of handmade accessories, t-shirts, & other goods & thangs.
I actually started this project under a different name, I was calling it “Gold Crate Club,” symbolic for digging & collecting classic pieces – just as how DJ’s would “dig in the crates” for special records. I decided on changing the name when I was thinking of new approaches for the project, basically to refresh everything. “Honey Boom” is a phrase that’s been familiar to me since adolescence. You may recognize it while you were jamming to RBL Posse’s “Don’t Give Me No Bammer Weed,” lol. Female rappers, Sugar ‘N’ Spice, also had a track called “Honey Boom.” I am born & raised in the San Francisco Bay Area where both RBL Posse & Sugar ‘N’ Spice hail, so songs like that stuck with me hard. “Honey Boom” could also be translated as an expression similar to: “Girl, please!” or “No she di’int!” or even giving a “BAM!” effect. It’s all in good fun.
I have several exciting things in store for honeyBOOM in the coming weeks! You can get a small preview at honeyboom.bigcartel.com. Official launch to follow soon!
