LA PEOPLES
I recently spent a few days in Los Angeles my so called 2nd home. I have been logging time in LA since my late teen years and have always dug the place for all it’s plus’ and minus’. Best thing to me about LA is the people, my homies and friends. Funny lots of NYers say LA people or fake but my experience is that everyone from everywhere has the ability to be full of ish….Some of my favorite people and times in my life were spent with people from and in LA so for me I don’t buy in to that baloney. I always get love in LA therefore I give it back Nuff said! Anyways here’s some folx I ran across in my travels.
Ben Hundreds, Bobby Hundreds and Brooklyn Dom Deluca the homie forever!
Scotty Hundreds my brother in Metal…Rock on Mr. Grindtainer!
Joe Hahn and Andrew from Think Space a great gallery in LA…@ The David Choe show….Good show go check it
This is Estevan Oriol’s father Eriberto Oriol. I have known Estevan for over 20 years this was the first time I met his pops. He’s rocking his sons shirt that’s so rad! I have been hanging with my pops a lot of late he’s been in NY on a book tour,seeing grown fathers and grown sons together digging each others art and life forces is a great thing…

Young Jamie and Cotton Mouth Lou my LA running partner since 1996. Dude has been my main bro for as long as anyone in LA can remember at this point. Him and OG Olson are the people I’m most likely to run the streets with when I’m in LA, Lou is just a right on brother and a great great friend. He is about to relaunch Cotton Mouth www.cottonmouthla.com and has a denim line I’m actually wearing in my pics in this post he’s launching that’s tight called Odyssey. Lou is the partner of partners! We did a craze photo shoot in the gallery that will invade your world soon it features some heavy hitters…..Stay tuned!
Went to Ben Hundreds Bday party on Saturday…he turned 30 congrats…..I had mad tacos and beer at his Bday bash it was really fun one of the best least pretentious partys I went to LA in a long time Happy Birthday thanks!
This made me laugh….My boy OG Olsons son Alex…..pretty funny stuff
And like usual I saved the best for last….What can I say about this dude that hasn’t already been said besides so what if he’s Alex’s son? Guys a legend in many fields and also the worlds most interesting mans stunt double….His name is Olson …..Steve Olson dammit and he is as LA as I am NY! He is one of the fathers of skateboarding as you know it
Much love to my LA people I didn’t get pics of including Bodagan, Young homie CtoTheJL, Geordie, Eric D, Revok, Aaron and the Agenda crew, and Bald Head Greg….who did I forget?
Much Respect LA
