A couple years ago, I performed live on my MPC at an event that features dancers called ‘&beats’ at ANCE in Yoyogi (shouts to Kavvd for having me). I saw a local crew called HUMO dance at some other events and they approached me about performing live on my MPC while they did some dance routines and freestyle. The Japanese pronunciation of HUMO can sound a lot like the Spanish word for smoke, ‘fumo,’ so I drew this design to do some promo for the event we combined forces to perform at. Shirokuma, the bar that was my intro to the events going on in Yoyogi, also had a clothing line, and they licensed this design off me to print on hoodies. After the hoodies were ready, they had me stop by the bar and do fun little photoshoot which was basically just kickin it in the bar and on the street outside, casually skatin’ around while the photographer, Moeco Yamazaki, did her thing. Such is life being a foreigner in foreign places doing familiar things.
