La Bomba Superior by Nick Furious Meyers
Another explosive edition of BlogBomb. Exposing blips on the radar and unveiling that there is so much more than meets the eye.
A huge bonus to being plugged into the creative scene in Albuquerque is that one gets to experience things and how they come together from an insider’s perspective. Being in the giant loop of talent that exists can sometimes lead to fortuitous and mind expanding collaborations with fellow artists. That is the truth attached to my latest endeavor.
It has been a pleasure for myself and FuriouStylz Entertainment Studio to work with Community Publishing on numerous projects such as Fiona the Funkadelic Freckle Fairy.
I was excited to discover that I would be a part of their latest endeavor, a multimedia project called Samuel’s Story. What a treat it has been working with Community Publishing to create this very heartfelt project written by fellow artist, friend and brother Hakim Bellamy. Hakim, a man who has achieved great accolades in academia and in music, has proven he is worth his weight in gold as an educator and esteemed poet. Samuel’s Story is a magnificent multi layered enactment of his genius.
However this process has been about more than jus the artist and the publisher it also includes friend, brother and visual artist Melvin Mayes aka Jungle, whom I have known and respected since my introduction into the hip hop world in the late 1990s. Melvin is the illustrator and contributes some amazing artwork that furthers the story.
Just when you think it cannot get any more exciting then you add in another artist who I admire greatly. A man who is a very prominent figure in the music and art scene in New Mexico. He is, none other than, DJ Flo Fader or Roscoe Floyd. Flo, and no he is not from progressive, is a very progressive producer and contributed the musical components to the project. As this is a multimedia experience the music is imperative in creating the rich 
tapestry and vibe of the story.
When given the opportunity to unite all of these great artists with amazing qualities into one book written by Hakim Bellamy I accepted the challenge at once.. What an honor it has been to be a part of the creative process and to use my studio engineering knowledge and know how to contribute to the final result. Working together with this talented pool and being given the opportunity to be the glue that brings it all together is an awesome and humbling feeling. I am excited by what is to come for the team moving forward.

It is a similar to the feeling one gets when they are preparing to give a birthday or holiday gift to someone. The gift remains hidden until that magic moment when it meets the receiver! When someone knows that there was someone out there that put care, time and planning into making and putting out the art it makes them feel even more special when they find it. Being able to give your art a chance to reach people in such a way takes it on an adventure with purpose.
From writing out tags, to put out the work, to thinking about where I will put the art I love every part of the process of preparing for Free Art Friday! In our everyday lives we often encounter many things made by machines and often forget the beauty in things made by hand. How special the gift of art is because it someone invested their heart and time into creating it.
