This year was the first time I got the chance to attend the Lowrider Supershow for 2008 put on by Lowrider Magazine!
For people who have been there before it may be no big deal but for someone like me it was truly a humbling experience.
The amount of work that goes into each and every ride and the set ups around them was simply amazing. The cars that stood out for me were Lifestyles Car Club cause of the flawless paint jobs, interiors and set ups.There were of course other cars that were just unbelievable.My main reason for attending the show was to meet some of my heroes and the cars were just the icing on the cake.The people were also very friendly and accepting and made me feel at home.The other reason was to hand carry two special items for DANNY D and for ROB VANDERSLICE. Two of my favorite painters each known for being at the top of their game and for having two distinct painting styles.Danny D being a member of Lifestyles Car Club from Los Angeles, and Rob Vanderslice from Albuquerque New Mexico and now member of the famous Rollerz Only Car Club!
The two items were of course sculpture related, Danny D commissioned me to do a relief sculpt of his logo/mascot and Rob was designed a Custom car plaque.
This was my chance to shine and I took full advantage of the door openings. I have to thank Jas from CCF CUSTOMS for manufacturing the car plaque cause he did an outstanding job! The executing was flawless and turned my concept into a work of art.
The other people I met were, Fonzy (AIRSHOT),Tattoo Tony,OG Abel,Big Spike,Joe Ray,Travis, Juanita,Kutty,Twotonz,Danny De La Paz from BOULEVARD NIGHTS fame lowrider movie from the 70's were he played CHUCO,John Jarasa (HEAVY HITTERS MAGAZINE),Fernando (HH),Joel Gracia (JAGSTER PLACAS),Mexico,Rudy Rivas and last but not least KITA (PRESIDENT OF UCE CAR CLUB).
I gotta say out of all the people I met KITA really stood out for me.Not only was he a cool ass mother fucker but the minute I shook hands with this legend I suddenly felt like family.He has something very special about him.He has deep respect from everyone in the Lowrider community and I was truly humbled by meeting him.
The other thing I noticed is how talented my people are,meaning latinos are such crafty individuals,super talented peoples and was amazed at the level of craftsmanship.
They are hustlers, I mean all the booths that were set up from apparel to hats,music, modeling etc. These people hustle for every dollar!!!
OG ABEL was another dude that amazed me.He was selling them t-shirts of his like hot cakes!!Truly a talented motherfucker!! Sick skillz.
So here are some of the pictures taken by my lovely wife Pamela!
Peace
