Get Cryphy 4 year anniversary
Our good friends Plain Ole Bill, Jimmy 2 Times, Last Word, and Fundo are gearing up for the big 4 year anniversary of their monthly DJ night and major rap party GET CRYPHY. Over the last several years, they've built up their brand of rowdy rap-related anthem mixing into a household name, revered as many as some of the finest DJs in the Twin Cities. Burlesque has been down since day 1, creating all of the visuals for the crew, printing t-shirts, and even guest DJing at their parties.

Wheatpasting Demo at Franklin Art Works
We were recently invited to lead a hands-on wheatpasting demonstration and install our own wheatpasted mural at Franklin Art Works in the Phillips neighborhood of Midtown Minneapolis. If you've never been over there, we strongly recommend it. At one time an enormous movie theater, the building has been fully renovated and converted into a contemporary art exhibition space, but the original 1916 theater screen and all of its Art Nouveau ornament still remain hidden in the back of the building. Anyways, Wes and I decided we would use bits and pieces of our test prints and other found paper to create a large portrait of Wendell Phillips, an abolitionist, fighter for the people, and the namesake of the neighborhood.

That's right, we've been throwing the biggest and baddest celebration of the music and legacy of hip hop icon Dr. Dre every February since 2003 and here we are a decade later, still going strong.
We're back at Triple Rock Social Club with an exclusive performance from Heiruspecs-based LBC Drama Club. Read More
