TALE OF THE UNDERDOG
July 11, 2016 6:49 am Leave a Comment
“Do you give the horse its strength
    or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
Do you make it leap like a locust,
    striking terror with its proud snorting?
It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,
    and charges into the fray.

It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;
    it does not shy away from the sword.
The quiver rattles against its side,
    along with the flashing spear and lance.
In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
    it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’
    It catches the scent of battle from afar,
    the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

Life is ahead of you, and you run at it.

Many stories have been written about the underdog, and they will keep coming. The stories of events never dreamt possible are dreams no more………. They are realities. I dream in color Jay z says, ahhhaaaa beautiful.

Niggas always asking me the key
‘Til you own your own you can’t be free
‘Til you’re on your own you can’t be me
How we still slaves in 2016?
Key to life, keep a bag comin’
Every night another bag comin’
I ain’t been asleep since ’96
I ain’t seen the back of my eyelids
I been speedin’ through life with no safety belt
One on one with the corner, with no safety help
I perform like Josh Norman, I ain’t normal, nigga
Just a project nigga out in Beverly Hills, California, nigga
That Wraith talk, that’s foreign, nigga
Special cloth talk here
All my niggas from the mud damn near
All my niggas millionares
We gon’ take it there, I swear
You gon’ think a nigga’s psychic
You ain’t seen nothin’ like this
I should probably copyright this
I promise they ain’t gonna like this

Checkin in from Headquarters…

Off to another smooth run here in London. If our plane getting struck by lighting, a 10 hour delay, and a flooded loft couldn’t stop us, nothing could. Besides the early runaround, this trip has proved to be one of the smoothest to date. So much love here from all of Europe, I want to give a special thanks to all of the clients that made the trip out, some returning and some new, but all now a proud part of the Lowrider family. There’s a certain energy in the room when you have a collective group of people all striving towards a common goal. No egos, no one man bigger than the crew, all contributing their own part towards the finish. Its a team that makes the big impacts not the one, and I couldn’t be anymore proud of my team. Im honored to have my brothers Miguel and Jun along my side, never ceasing to inspire, with their relentless work ethic, passion and drive. And of course our commander in chief Jose, whose actions inspire all of us to do more, become more and dream more, who has proved time and again the worht of a true leader. Long days once again turned into long nights, and theres no way we would survive without our right hands, Stevie, Toby and Alex. The late night cups of tea, Nando runs, and motivational ball-breaking was just what we needed to pull through. As I head back to Cali to continue school for the Fall, the brother Jun is now making his way over. Be sure to keep up with boys as they continue to power forward. Also for those who will be in attendance at the London convention, make sure to stop by the booth and say hello. Thanks to all for all of your continued love and support, much more to come! -Noah Minuskin
LONDON TOWN

London has to be one of the best spots to visit for me. Despite its fame for bad food and worst weather I got to say it doesn’t matter its still at the top of my list. The people there are super nice and accommodating, as far as the weather is concern… I like a nice jacket. Once you know where to go and the right places to eat forget about it. places like the Mayflower, Gilgemish and the Ivy stake house are my favorites. Not to mention my good friends Dimitri,Lux, Alex and Tobby they all live there not forgetting my boys David, Lee, Summet and my girls Jaky and Loura, I get to see them every time. Time after time they welcome us with the biggest smiles and the warmest affection. I can’t wait to get there to add to the unforgettable memories.

Here’s some more of the latest work I advice you to make your appointment as soon as possible to guaranty your space on these up coming trip. Time is running out and spaces are filling up quick. Once again I thank you all so much and I hope to see you soon.

We are open to all suggestions and we always advice and encourage everybody to get involve to do as much research about the subject you want to get tattooed as well as the artist and the place where you will be getting it. A tattoo is forever therefore you must be very critical when choosing your artist and studio. The more research you do will guaranty the best result and then you can wear your work of art proudly. It is important to find a connection with your artist know what motivates him and let him know what motivates you, only then can the ultimate collabotion be created. With that said I leave you with this inspirational poem,

You’re a finished
Black and white painting
Hung up in my minds eye gallery

I hope it’s not too much trouble
If I add some colour of my own
And let you be your accented self

There was nothing wrong
With you, black and white
But wouldn’t you look lovely in colour

Wouldn’t you look lovely
Having someone else
Paint you in a different light

I’m a black and white painting
In need of your paint
Your shades and hues

We compliment one and other
Each other’s pallets
Each in need of collaboration

Thank you

YOUR FRIEND AND ARTIST

As we near the 3rd quarter of the year, so much has been going on over here at the studio. Seeing my artists coming in everyday and pushing our craft has been very fulfilling and inspiring for me. With this growth we have been revamping the Lowrider name as well as the studio. I am soo excited to share these changes with you all very soon as we near completion. For now, I am happy to announce our return to London beginning this upcoming August. The official dates that we will be there will be August 28th – September 31st. Our trip earlier this year was one of the smoothest to date. So much love and support ws shown that we felt the need to return sooner than later. The official line for this years 2nd London campaign will be myself, Jose Lopez alongside Jun Cha, Noah Minuskin, Miguel Ochoa. We project that dates will fill up rather quickly because of the large number of client intake, so we encourage you all to secure your day with your artist as soon as possible. On behalf of myself and the rest of my boys that will be returning with me to England I want to sincerely thank you all for your continued love and support.
