- Pose wearing Zombie Tee
“NEIGHBORHOOD MONSTERS” by POSE MSK
Pose is sick. I bought a couple of his pieces this year, and then met him in person at an MSK/AWR meeting. He runs a design firm, does graff, smokes, wears hats, and loves chi-town.
We discussed his Chicago gang card collection and the differences in street culture in our native cities, and from that the Neighborhood Monsters series was born. We modeled the monsters after people we know. The Zombie and Wolfman are based off of MSK crew heads. Support this dude, because he’s mad nice and he gets it in on the daily. And because he is sick. And I’m not talking about his health.

What’s up with “Jerkin”? (Google it)
Wow….any thing that has “urban dance style for the youth that’s starting an epidemic around the nation” in its description makes me second guess having kids.
What do you hate about the kids? The generation under you that is…
They call each other out on YouTube videos (another thing I just learned Googling “Jerkin”). Seriously though the shit that really gets under my skin is how all kids feel like they are entitled to be famous just for being the loud talking no-action stroke that they are, nobody puts in work to get anywhere, and nobody learns by physical trial and error, its all viral, its all safe and its all boring. To be explicit, all of that is directed at things and people outside of Jerkin, I think its growing on me…. I might have just been swept up in the craze with that last vid.
Snails. Why?
(no comment)
Hottest broad on the planet. Who is it?
For me its wifey for lifey, but I’ll continue purely scientific research and get back to you.
Would you rather get stabbed in the stomach with a cocktail sword or have to watch a Mash marathon?
Ha…shit that’s good, seriously I’m stumped.
Worst drug you ever ingested…
Meth, maybe crack, I guess they probably aren’t the worst drugs ever but definitely get me at my worst.
