C -N- C BOYS.
This past weekend, we got a chance to do a photo shoot of all three brand partners and our mobile truck. We’ve been wanting to get this done for a while but have been so busy that it’s been impossible to do so. We finally did. All the pictures were shot in Brooklyn (as if we would do it anywhere else) by our friend – Rio Suzuki. We haven’t received all the pics back yet from Rio but he sent over this one pic as a teaser. For those who still don’t know who exactly we are, meet the Cookies -N- Cream brand founders – Scrills (left), DJ Jon Blak (middle), P (right). 3 good friends having fun building one of the best brands in the world.
We’ll throw up some more pics when Rio sends them all.

DOPE ALWAYS.
This Tuesday, we’re heading down to Baltimore to guest host a special night at the Tuesday weekly party by the folks at PedxBaltimore and Jon will also be spinning. We tried doing this last month but it started snowing like crazy so we had to cancel, but the weather is looking good for this Tuesday, so we’re heading to Bmore to throw it down Cookies -n- Cream style! If you’re in the area, come through and kick it with us!

TOOFLY – BRAVE SOULS ILLUMINATE.
We’re so blessed to have many talented friends doing wonderful things. Such a great company of people to be in. To all our LA friends, here’s another dope art show coming your way. This one features the works of our very good friend TooFly. This is one show you don’t want to miss!
Upper Playground and Fifty24LA Gallery Present
“Brave Souls Illuminate”
A Collection of New & Existing works by Maria “TOOFLY” Castillo
Maria “Toofly” Castillo is a painter and illustrator from New York.
Growing up Queens, Toofly immersed herself in graffiti culture and developed her own knack for hand styles and unique “around the way girl” characters.
“Brave Souls Illuminate” is a re-mix of new, and existing works that showcase Toofly’s growth as young woman drawing and writing on the walls to a mature well respected fine artist, designer, and visual arts producer. Her existing works takes you on a journey of a self proclaimed, “around the way girl” using hard and fluid lines, hand styles, and self confidence to declare a spot in New York City’s graffiti subculture dominated by men, and fierce attitude.
Her new works re-introduce the shades of grey that originally helped her pull in the raw emotions she grew up with, and surfaces new and improved.
As she travels to reconnect time and space, the new pieces not only feel and look more mature, yet bring you back to the core of her spirit:
”A brave being who looks to shine bright unapologetic from the inside out!”
”Brave Souls Illuminate” features new works and an installation on display at FIFTY24LA Gallery from November 11 – January 4, 2009.
About TOOFLY
Toofly is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts where she applied her artistic skills to illustration and graphic design coursework. Her signature “around the way girl” character is instantly recognizable from print to public street art projects. She and her partner Alice Mizrachi founded Younity, a female urban arts collective, in which they produce art exhibitions, community street murals, and mentorship art programs for young women in the arts. Toofly’s art and design work have appeared in books, video and magazines including Graffiti Women, NYC Graffiti the Next Stage, Burning New York, Current TV, MTV, Trace, Marie Claire, and Juxtapoz.

NEW.
Our little baby (Cookies -n- Cream) is growing and we’re doing a little bit of re-branding. No need to fret, we’re still who we are with the same core values that we’ve built the brand on but we’re evolving and that’s a great thing. There’s a saying that goes “Change is the only thing that’s permanent” and that’s something we believe. With that said, we’re super excited to unveil our new logo! We’re also going to be re-vamping our website, so stay tuned. We’ll change the logo on the site with the new website once we launch. Thanks for you folks sticking with us through our journey. You make it all worth it.

MAKES CENTS.
We’re big supporters of anything that has to do with giving back to the community. Adam from Comon Cents hit us up to tell us about their brand and what they’re doing for their community in LA. Comon Cents is a clothing company locally based out of LA and are striving to bring art back into the hands of the youth. For every shirt that is bought from Comon Cents, a dollar is donated to a teacher in the LA Unified School District to help funding for art supplies. Their goal is to get art into the middle schools and high schools who cannot afford the program. I think it’s a pretty cool message and we definitely support programs that aim to empower the youth. Check out Comon Cents here and tell Adam we said keep it up.

FOREVER YOUNG.
This Thursday – October 1st, Cookies -n- Cream presents FOREVER YOUNG. An art show featuring the works of Destroy & Rebuild Collective.
Sample works by Destroy & Rebuild:
“When you’re young, life is carefree and all about the pursuit of fun. Then you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You lose your rebellious spirit. Your beautiful and limitless imagination starts to get tainted. You look before you leap and sometimes you don’t leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. Your dreams fade away slowly as the years roll by. You “grew” up.
Why should life be like this? When did it stop being fun? and start being scary? When did you start to lose that childlike imagination that made everything seem possible?
I won’t settle for a monotonous life…that’s why I decided to leave fear behind and be “young” again.To follow my dreams and be whatever I’ve always wanted to be. To never lose that wonderful imagination that makes everything seem possible. To live life…TO LIVE LIFE.
I’ll be FOREVER YOUNG…”
– (Anonymous + Scrills)
This art show is one that represents the energy, creativity and vision of people who are FOREVER YOUNG.
Fuck growing up!
Opening night: Oct 1st.
Works will be on display through the month of October.
Venue: White Rabbit
