Photo Recap-Android Homme x Heineken Launch Exhibit aka My 1st Exhibition! Martha Otero Gallery. L.A. 12.8.11

Not sure if you heard or not but ya mans enjoyed his 1st exhibition last Thursday in L.A!
I showed 9 photos, all dealing with Android Homme x Heineken sneaker. Yes the flyer says I curated it, I did! I curated my own shit! haha

Here is what Team Epiphany had to say about it on their Tumblr

It’s not every day that Heineken gets together with Android Homme to create a special, limited-edition version of the iconic Propulsion 2.5 sneaker, curated by Team Epiphany, of course. Decked out in a tonal black pony hair and full-grain leather colorway, complemented by a Heineken-green lining and featuring subtle branding at the heel, these kicks are for influencers-only. In order to celebrate in style, however, Team Epiphany put together a series of art prints taken by the one and only Mel D. Cole featuring the shoes. The launch event doubled as an exhibition at Martha Otero Gallery in LA.

Here is what I have to say about it!

I was called in to talk with my homies Coltrane and Jarret. They explained what they wanted me to do and I got super excited and competed a goal in 4 days for something that would normally take at least a few weeks.

Peep my site for the original images and the hung versions.

I asked a bunch of my friends to get down with this shit and man oh man was I surprised at who said yes.

I got Bryan Greenberg-How to make it in America

He even showed up!

The ladies approved of his photo!

Questlove and Black Thought from The Roots

And a bunch of my downtown NYC homies

And my home girl from Seattle Yo

I’m still on some WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW type shit to be honest. I feel really legit now. A goal has been accomplished and I am very happy that I was able to accomplish this goal with my friends Coltrane, Jarret, Team Epiphany, Heineken, Android Homme and most important…YALL FUCKERS!!!!!

Ok, so yeah…tons of folks came out. Not gonna lie I didn’t know most of them (I had to make that very clear during my thank you speech), some I did which made me feel really comfortable cause I was MAD NERVOUS! I took like 3 dumps before the event. Even dropped a small one right when the doors opened.
