STAY TRUE: KANO.

Did another shoot for the Stay True project with the talented KaNo. The shoot was cool as hell and KaNo is definitely a good dude to be around..lots of laughter and talk about toys, hip hop etc. For those who may need to play a little catch up, KaNo is one of the illest artists/toy designers in the urban vinyl movement right now. He’s managed to carve a strong name for himself in a relatively short amount of time..and it’s all based on substance because his work speaks for itself. No fluff here, he’s the real deal. What I love so much about his work is that he fuses his creations with a NYC attitude/culture that most of us folks that grew up on hip hop and in inner city neighborhoods can relate to. Now that’s “Staying True” to its truest meaning.

He’s fun on camera as well and it’s definitely one of the interviews that you folks should look forward to. KaNo should have his own show. (cut me a check if it happens, KaNo!)….We did the shoot at the toy store MyPlasticHeart in NYC…shout out to Vincent Yu from MyPlasticHeart too for letting us shoot at their spot. Here’s some pics I took from shoot…enjoy and continue to stay tuned for when you’ll be able to see the video…
