Ricky Powell interviews SSUR (and its sub-brands Rebel Ape and Caviar Cartel) founder Ruslan Karablin. This footage stems from Upper Playground’s “Dithers” DVD. Enjoy.
Ricky Powell. Really, what is there to be said about this legendary photographer that hasn’t already been noted? His shots of New York in the 80s are timeless. His photo subjects ranged from friends on the block; to up-and-coming musicians, artists, and celebrities; to the then high-and-mighty caught around NYC. Indeed, Ricky has covered it all. Now, for the first time available to the public for free, Walrus TV provides a nine minute video from Dithers featuring the man, himself, discussing things from back in the day as well as giving insight on some of his favorite shots.
As seen in the interview, Ricky Powell loves animals, especially his cat Blackberry and he’s the founder of the well-established and long-standing “Animal Lover Posse.” In the fourth contest slated for 2009, Upper Playground is giving away a Ricky Powell photo of RUN DMC in Paris from 1987. The photo is signed by Ricky Powell, is framed and measures at 3 feet by 2 feet. To enter, all you have to do is submit a photo of an animal on the Upper Playground Facebook Fan Page – it can be anything – your pet, a pigeon on the sidewalk, a rat on the street – whatever. The person who submits the best animal photo will win the photo of Run DMC in Paris/1987. The contest is open for 2 weeks and a winner will be announced on Wednesday, May 13th. For details, rules and more information please visit the feature on UpperPlayground.com.
As part of their Spring/Summer 2009 Collection, Upper Playground has worked with photographer Ricky Powell. The t-shirt comes in black and white and features a large photo print on the front. The back features the words “Rest in Peace to a great man. We will miss you.”
The t-shirts are now available here. More detailed images follow here.
Another interesting episode comes from Upper Playground’s Walrus TV. This week photographer Ricky Powell interviewed painter Kostas Seremetis. Kostas discusses how he got his start initially as an animator and was rejected from all of the art schools that he applied to – but that didn’t stop him from pursuing his dream and becoming a successful painter. Seremetis discusses the importance of painting what he loves – and that includes super heroes, comic books, sci-fi movies and samurai movies. The interview is inspirational, gives you a great glimpse into Kostas’ studio and what inspires each piece.
We announced it this morning and now we can show you some first images of the Kiks TYO x Ricky Powell t-shirts. The New York photographer documented some of the most iconic moments in rap history and this evidentially also in New York sneaker culture, which makes this a perfect fit for Kiks TYO.
The series consists of four t-shirts, each coming in a black and a white colorway. Pictured are three time Run DMC and one time the Beastie Boys.
