SEVEN YEARS OF BONES My latest collabo with the skeletally brilliant Mr. Hill was a few weeks ago when I hammered out some gold, diamond-adorned text and put together this cover for his newest single No Dead Weight (available now on all streaming platforms.) One of the most lit parts of working with Bones is getting a sneak peek at what he’s cooking up in his lab. When he fully opens up his bling-encrusted cranium y’all, it’ll be mind-blowing. I’m talking literally and figuratively. The front view of this bust featured on the cover, (sculpted by Bones) is deceptively static. Check out his social media pages to see videos of the piece in motion and find out what’s really going on inside the head. Nuff said. Check it out. PURCHASE, STREAM, DOWNLOAD, SUPPORT!!! (btw, gotta remind people my pages don’t operate on the “Influencer” business model. —my influence is dubious, haha— I receive no financial compensation for promoting anyone. I only throw shine on those whose output and grind I highly respect.) @bonesthemachine @flacoville_ @TuTchTig #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #Bones #BonestheMachine #NoDeadWeight #StevenLeBones #Bonebreaking #Flex #ZillaBoys #GasMaskMob #TuTchTIMAGING #TuTchT https://www.instagram.com/lojowerkz/p/BuXmobXFqcK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=biapqgydexhx

SEVEN YEARS OF BONES In late 2016/early 2017 I worked with Bones to develop the fantasical Afro-Futurist imagery for some of his first forays into the music industry. Here’s an early portrait that came from those conceptual explorations. One reason we continue to collabo is the kind of short-cut thinking we’ve always had, each immediately understanding the odd directions the other is heading in. “B: I want a gap in my arm. T: Got it.” Yeah, like that. @bonesthemachine @TuTchTig #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #Bones #BonestheMachine #StevenLeBones #Bonebreaking #Flex #ZillaBoys #GasMaskMob #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #AfroFuturism #TuTchTPortraits #NoDeadWeight https://www.instagram.com/lojowerkz/p/BuXmcuflJTi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5op45pc5d87b

SEVEN YEARS OF BONES It’s actually been a little over 7 years since I first began a longterm interaction with one of my favorite brothers in the creating game, Mr. Steven Hill aka “Bones the Machine” as he’s known across the globe as one of the pioneering practitioners of the Brooklyn-born dance style known as “Bonebreaking” or “Flex” or by his more recent moniker Steven Le’Bone, a persona that encompasses his entire creative output which includes sculptural work (some of which are wearable) and his music. I had done a couple portraits of Bones before he actually reached out to me in 2012 to discuss an “official” collaboration. This resulting piece of Bones and his partner DJ Aaron, remains one of my favorites of the many pieces I’ve created for Bones and the larger Zilla family over the years. @bonesthemachine @TuTchTig #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #Bones #BonestheMachine #StevenLeBones #Bonebreaking #Flex #ZillaBoys #GasMaskMob #TuTchTPortraits #NoDeadWeight #TuTchTFavs https://www.instagram.com/lojowerkz/p/BuXmRMrFHva/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wlv75r3do0fh

SEVEN YEARS OF BONES I don’t remember if I’m actually the one who introduced Bones to one of my favorite designers Florian Wowretzco or not but I definitely campaigned for a collaboration. When it finally came to pass in 2014 in an editorial for Kaltblut Magazine, the results were even more jaw-dropping than I’d anticipated. There were numerous shots (from brilliant lensman Michael Pandolfe) that emerged from this meeting of creative minds, each one gallery-worthy. From very early in his career Bones has been rubbing shoulders with the Fashion Industry in many capacities and remains a mainstay of New York Fashion Weeks. @bonesthemachine @florianwowretzko @kaltblut_magazine #TuTchT #TuTchT IMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #Bones #BonestheMachine #StevenLeBones #FlorianWowretzko #Michael Pandolfe #Bonebreaking #Flex #ZillaBoys #GasMaskMob #TuTchTPortraits #NoDeadWeight #TuTchTFavs https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXlFqwFQm-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lwpiwwwqsftw

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK - BONESTHEMACHINE I have experienced an abundance of blessings being able to collaborate with many artists and models I first admired and respected from afar, One of my favorite and most prolific collaborators is Bones aka Steven LéBone. This brilliant renaissance man of in-the-now culture broke onto the scene as one of the forefathers of Bonebreaking/Flex in Brooklyn, popularizing the image of the gas-masked bonebreaker, and has continued to extend his creative tendrils outward. Tattoo artist, emcee, music producer, model, video director, art fabricator, sculptor… in short… a true artist with a machine-like commitment to creative output. He dipped his metallic skeletal digits into a handful of appearances during NYFW last weekend making an impishly chilling/thrilling impact as his handcrafted shimmering death mask caught the proverbial flashing lights. When I asked the story behind the skeletal front he nonchalantly replied, “I’d been working on some sculptures so I thought I’d wear one.” Well-played Dark Lord of Street Culture Provocation, well played. And with that, he jetted off to Singapore with fellow FlexGoat @drewdollaz to dance at the Formula1 Grandprix. I choose my associates very wisely. I love creators who dabble in the cliché-aries of death to bring life! A true brother, this Mr. LéBone. @bonesthemachine @stevenlebone @nyfw #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #BonestheMachine #StevenLeBone #NewYorkFashionWeek #Flex #Bone breakers #DancersatFashionWeek #Maskedmob #FavoriteTuTchTCollaborators #StreetCultureRenaissanceMan https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsHJLtDuDQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q9hi7vix0zd6
