I shouldn’t have left you… etc. Hey I’m on the cover of BPM this month with my homies. It says I’m doing “mad blogging” in the interview which, as you can tell, is not actually true. In fact, one might even say its an outright lie. I intend to correct this problem though I swear. For real. Anyway, here’s the cover. More after the jump. Click it for big version.

PARRA takes you on a tour with iNCASE and ARKITIP

Parra is an Amsterdam based “Creative”. That’s what the marketing types are calling them these days. He paints, draws, illustrates, makes music with his band Le Le, and designs a lot of cool stuff. Some fine examples of his work include the logo for my website, an album cover of mine as well as some more logos. I think his work is great and you can check out the show he has opening in Paris at The Lazy Dog on December 5th. Yayurrrr….

LE LE - BREAKFAST

PARRA AND PASE TALK ABOUT STUFF…

PASE: Yo Pieter What’s up?

PARRA: all good, working at home today… have to draw a cover for a highbrow interlectual magazine with the theme ‘the future’ its buggin me out…

PASE: Word, How’s life?

PARRA: alright i believe, do feel like living in a place where its a bit warmer and lighter, f*#king winter in Amsterdam

PASE: Yikes! So tell us Parra, Why do you design for so many shi**y brands (like Pase Rock or crappy ass Nike) when you have your own (Rockwell) that’s really great?

PARRA: because I’m addicted to attention…

PASE: Me too. So when are we going to launch Rockwell US?

PARRA: Let’s go!…oh wait no, I dont think the US wants to…

PASE: Yes, we do. We got Obama now. CHANGE SON! Me and You, or more correctly, You and I (no homo) just tore up Tokyo. let’s talk about that. Some people might find it interesting… although we ended up at the same bar it seemed every night at 5 am…

PARRA: Yeah, f#*king good. remember the deep techno theme they had going that one night, the bardude wasn’t too phased by us by the way…

PASE: Uh huh, true true. How much better is Amsterdam? how come every time I’m in Amsterdam you are somewhere else?

PARRA: I have a sort of agent who scans myspace all day and warns me when trouble comes to town then quickly puts me on the Rockwell plane and flies me to Monaco…. He’s also a pilot yes… Gary Numan is ill… We need a new nice underground club in Amsterdam…plus they should stop the smoking ban in bars, smoking outside in winter is a douche thing to be doing…

PASE: I vehemently disagree. But I digress… You used to skate pro, what happened dude? You fell off son…

PARRA: haha..yeah i didn’t get that much attention anymore cause i got older and my tricks became lame… so i thought I would give art a go…or music…whatever gets me some love haha…

PASE: I feel that. I may quit rapping soon and just become a blogger like Perez Hilton. I can’t figure out if that’s an upgrade or a downgrade though, any shout outs?

PARRA: Gary Numan…

PASE: word. bye!
