Werm vs DMN Ology 

Hip Hop Rescue or Destroy

This Saturday Rescue or Destroy takes it to the street. Werm and Dmn Ology face off in a hip-hop, spray-painted mash-up between two quintessential hip-hop artists.

Werm is a rapper, a painter, a teacher, a father….he says, “My art form started with a passion for graffiti and ended up with a talent for art.” The spray can has been replaced with an airbrush and an eye towards fine art.

DMN Ology started as an MC for rap events right out of high school until he started running with graffiti artists, Zor, Raffa, Raven and the like and took up painting. “Wow! An MC that wants to paint!!” They taught him well. Since then he’s traveled the world doing what he loves.

“Now I just have to figure out how to do it onstage while I’m rapping.”

Ah, imagine…the sound...the spray paint.

Happy Birtday Allen!

It was another smashing evening at Rescue or Destroy last Thursday as Jim Riggs and Franklin Riley proved that every single vote makes a difference. Franklin's airplane triptych eked out a win over Jim's Buddha with a mere four vote lead. The final tally - 38 to 42 and the Buddha was destroyed.

Also, Allen Vandever, the Axman, the Destroyer and art purging enthusiast celebrated his birthday in a frenzy with a record number of guest artists.  A total of 32 works of art faced the chopping block. Twenty five were rescued and only seven were destroyed.

We hope to see you on Saturday, April 19th when Rescue or Destroy takes it to the street (art) with street artists DMN Ology and Werm. Not to be missed.
