Last December, the special projects team at STUSSY commissioned me to paint a new installation in their Las Vegas store...

Not only was it a good opportunity to support my ongoing relationship with the brand, but it was also a nice chance to try my hand at one of the large scale freestyle paintings I have been working towards lately, so my main man Carl and I packed up supplies and headed out to Vegas for 4 days to get busy...

Even though I had all the specs and had prepared my plans before arriving, the 14' x 60' wall seemed much bigger than I imagined when I first saw it in person...and a quick test using the small scaffolding and ladders

we had initially secured proved challenging at best. fortunately, Scott from Stussy made some quick calls

and had an electric powered "cherry picker" lift delivered the next morning, while we just mixed paints and plotted a few points with tape the first day...

Working fast and wet, I completed the whole wall in 2 days once we got started, and it was cool to have such a huge smooth "canvas" to put my brush skills to this kind of test in a controlled environment. Adam Weissman from Stussy also shot live video of the whole painting process, which he edited down into a short tight documentary that is scheduled to be posted on the Stussy website today. Carl and a few of the shop staff also shot a series of still photos during the installation,

which I am attaching to follow now :

We also ran over and took a few pics the next morning, before all the displays and clothing racks were re-installed :

Stussy is also releasing a ltd. edition t-shirt shown below that I created based on the installation, which will be available in time for the upcoming Magic show at their Las Vegas and Tokyo stores only. so check out the stussy website at:

to peep the video, and stop by the shop if you will be in Vegas to see the work in person...

*and keep an eye out for more future collabo's and Haze x Stussy product too ; I also recently completed a full collection of Stussy designs and pattern work, including reworking some of their classic icons, which are scheduled for spring 2010 release along with some special roll outs for Stussy's 30th anniversary next year...

In order: INTRO, RETNA, REVOK, SABER, PUSH, ZESER, REYES, EWOK, RIME
