The first COLLAB of 2008 is long time partner in crime Doze Green. Doze has been part of BUILDESTROY since my former incarnation doing print design / illustration / identity with him as "Next FX". Started in 1996, together we created art for many skateboard companies, clothing lines, record labels and magazines. Over 10 years later we’re making the first short film of Doze’s art, animated and explored in many mediums from 3D, to live-action, to stop-motion. A visual mash up.
This project is called “Ghetto Defender” and features Doze’s latest paintings from his show “The Left Hand Path.” The film takes us into the inner world of a janitor who finds his true self through a journey into his alter ego: the Ghetto Defender. The surrealistic dreamstate world created by Doze’s paintings provides him a glimpse of his ancestors, his past, the present, , and one possible future. Look for it online and at festivals 2008. |
