WRK FEST 12 starring artist: Uncle Arlo

 He can help you build a store front or help you frame some quality art work. He has helped with the construction of two local shops Boot Prints and Blasfome. He has been painting for over a decade perfecting his craft and there are three things you can be sure of when you see Uncle Arlo.. 
1. He will have Red Cup with his signature "Arlo Palmer" for you!
2. He will be excited as heck to see you!
3. He will greet you with a patented Uncle Bear Hug!


This dude is a super hard WRKr, he lives by the motto "go big or go home" and he doesn't go home often. He drives an Acadamy Van and has been shot at as if hes doing a tour in Iraq, so ya know he's fearless. 


Arlo's done paintings for countless companies, bars, celebrities and Pittsburgh ne'er-do-wells alike. And we are proud to have him as a featured artist of WRKFEST'12!! thanks Unc! Hes been puttin in EXTRA WRK painting like a mad man to get ready for WRKFEST'12 so i hope yinz are ready! this dude is sick!

Big Earn Goes to Philly!

A good friend of ours decided he was going to move to Philly to teach kids and better the world. He goes by the name of Earn and he is like the little brother to the BPC. We decided it would only be right if we sent him out the proper way, BPC style. We made a few calls and rounded up some of the city's best performers to really make this a night for all of us to remember. BZE and Dos Noun are our homies and when it comes to freestyling in Pittsburgh they are the kings, they both agreed to come rock the spot. We knew we needed a dope DJ, so we thought who else but world infamous DJ Hank D to come through and spin that real hip-hop. There was still one element missing so we called up Pittsburgh's finest breakdancing crew The Get Down Gang, Teena Marie and D-Smilez came through to show us their stylish acrobatics. I can't forget to mention the pleasant surprise that BZE brought through, he is a breakdancing instructor at this little camp they call Woodward and he goes by the name of Kid Cuba. Kid Cuba just so happened to be in town the night of the party and really put on a show for everyone. Here are a few flicks of what went down.

All in all it was a good night with good people and good vibes. I want to thank everyone who helped make this event possible. Shout outs to the Blasfamily, Beedie, BZE, Dos Noun, The Get Down Gang, Kid Cuba, and everyone else that came through to send Big Earn off.
