Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

INSA hits Los Angeles

This weekend was a great one for Hip Hop....Vapors Magazine and Kangol hosted the opening reception and the first LA show for *INSA*.

I looked up INSA, who's from Leeds, but based in London. His blog has some old pics of his bombing, but this LA show featured INSA’s Graffiti Fetish. The canvases were great...the fetish of feet mixed with high heels and Nike sneakers...very well executed and a clever take on a cliched theme.

INSA is a mate of Inkie's so we had a chat. He also said that he'd painted with the TATS Cru in New York a while back. Small world!

INSA in NYC
"His first solo show in NYC saw the iconic design wrapped around many objects of desire such as a lowrider bike, custom sneakers, ladies’ underwear, as well as a classic 1968 Lincoln Continental and now this set of three luxury woven fabrics. More photos and info can be found at www.insaland.com."
