"Power Fury": The Recap

Last Thursday MISHKA played host to Mark Todd's new collection entitled, "Power Fury." Heavily influenced by Jack Kirby the artist deconstructs then reconstructs each piece to make a whole new art piece. Starting with an idea Mark Todd free hands all of his works adding layer by layer bringing new life to his pieces. We were lucky enough to have a small, but insightful conversation with the down to earth artist, Mark Todd. The smallest pieces which measure roughly 6 inches, can take up to 3 hours to complete. Tedious work but the outcome was very much appreciated by everyone at the show.







Roc We all hustlers.
The one, The only, Scoop



Man of the hour, the artist himself, Mark Todd
















The collection will be up until May 27 at the MISHKA 350 Broadway location, so try to make it down to see the art for yourself. Cameras take great pictures but they don't do the art any justice.

BJ Penn

After an unforgettable UFC 112, not the good kind of unforgettable. It will always stay in our minds how the Spider Anderson Silva did nothing but embarrass himself and the UFC. Going all five rounds with Demian Maia, doing what seemed more like dancing with the stars than an actual cage fight. Silva retained the belt. Not taking anything away from Frankie Edgar's thunder. UFC 112 was Frankie's night, going the whole 5 rounds with "The Prodigy" BJ Penn. Frankie won the UFC Lightweight Title by unanimous decision.

Here at BrainTrust we are Frankie Edgar fans as well as BJ Penn fans so the title is still in good hands. So once we heard BJ was going to be in our area signing his new book, we jumped at the chance to meet the former champ.

















Excuse the pictures and video angle the staff had TOO MANY rules for the event. I'm guessing he hasn't healed recovered from the fight, he never took the glasses off.

FeastWest : The Recap

Last Saturday EastWest had their grand opening party. BrainTrust and crew took the ride out to Huntington to support our good friends. On arrival it was easy to see that the event was a huge success. Tons of people out enjoying the spring night in courtyard. The grill was blazing, the music was loud, and the beers were ice cold. 10 Deep came down and bought some goodies for the guests. Phetus also came down and did his thing for the party. Overall it was a good night with good friend and good vibes.















Phetus Doing what he does best
