Creative people tend to be the most multi-faceted individuals around.  From traditional art to tattooing, rapping to skateboarding, Denver’s own Zez has all bases covered – and covered well.  Along with his work at Newspeak, Zez has found himself in rap groups and punk bands, allowing his true creative nature to shine. I had the [...]

Think about Banksy for a minute.  His notoriety and his quasi-hipster following that has come around due to his involvement in films and political commentary through street art.  Now, think about this guy hitting up some billboards on a busy Sunset strip.  It almost seems sort of nostalgic, a throw to the very element of [...]
