In a couple weeks I’ll be back on Oahu for Pow Wow Hawaii (aka the best event ever). This year’s event is gonna be different in a lot of ways, and by different I mean HUGE. For starters, the artist roster has tripled in size! Most of last year’s crew is returning and new faces include Kid Zoom, Mr Jago, Flying Fortress, Rone, Slick, Peap Tarr, Poesia, Angry Woebots, I think you get the idea. It’s gonna be nuts!
This video pretty much sums up the vibe of POW WOW. “Rizzling” is the lost art of spinning rolling papers on your finger.
Watch the video below!
POW WOW HAWAII ended with a huge group collaborative piece getting painted all black. Here is a look at the entire event in reverse order! All photos courtesy of photographer Brandon Shigeta.
PJ (Acclaim), Ken (Hi-Fructose), Tan (Arrested Motion) and myself spoke to a really great class of design students from University of Hawaii. We got a chance to look at their portfolios and it’s safe to say there is a lot of talent here!
