who WE are

< old shop … new shop >    

2009

Images above…the before and after …… what was once our starting point is now and empty shell…..we have moved huts…to a bigger, better and brighter space….come pay us a visit….Unit 646 Camden Stables Market, top of the hill, next to Proud Gallery.

2006.

I scratch my head. Ifreecans, does it make sense? I scribbled on the yellow not the white pages of my sketchbook, next to the words feel artistic cane, trying to keep my vision honest.

he’s in the kitchen baking the tees, just like me, they want to be…. the first track…with vocals…i ever heard by fidelismusicus bellows in the background….not bad, not bad at all ….

encourage him nyaroroi tells me.she is wise, my mentor in surprise, passing on to me the motivation to motivate others as she has me over the years.

10 minutes after we first meet, gettosoul and i bond over the preference of sf20 binder over opaque and the marvel that is puff. we still marvel at puff, he uses opaque more than me, and i still champion sf20.

hatuta piga kelele [we wont make noise] …..as if. the crowd at twickenham roars. im jamming with ek13, she’s rocking her sketchers with multicolored soles, a camera and a camcorder. fresh….best rugby festival i ever been to. i made friends.

the graduate shows weren’t all that this year, ive taken kcola around… from csm to the truman brewery to camberwell college. she doesn’t do walking, shes vexed, im laughing. i know why i walk instead of taking bus or tube,maybe one day she will realise what it was all about. she hit the new capital of culture and did.

he calls me teacher i am humbled, although i learn as much from him as he does from me. many people say they can draw, i have met many artists, seen many drawings.pensee+ can draw. we need to work on the painting

‘there’s a girl downstairs whose doing something similar to you, come ill show you’.i follow this guy, a stranger, full of enthusiasm, wanting me to see what he has seen.my stall will be vacant, but i decide to go nonetheless.im glad i did. i met lala

its been a while. 6 years to be exact. transition, i can see it…….rite of passage when i get to hear it, as the words she does weave, eventually you will receive.welcome, newbornpoet

teacher, this guy is big says pensee+.bring him to the meeting i said, let the collective decide. in strolled this mellow french fellow with an afro. unanimous vote. his creative skill and vibe earned bubblin Sunn an ifreecans collective spot.

and then there was three, girls with sktbrds, cool, free, different. loved their style. i gave em stickers, they found the hut. while preparing for the Tano exhibition, did dthe5ftwnda reveal she was an artist….. and her work experience start

Creative medley, super work ethic, self belief and growing talent. The short story with many to be continued-s, I found them, they found me, we found each other or better yet…. our creative interests painting, illustration, graphic design, photography, music, poetry….brought us together. Situated in Camden Stables Market, London [first left after the Cuban Bar] the Hut of the ifreecans collective is yellow and houses tees and paintings for now….but we are preparing some music, some poetry and some exhibitions and events.

Its is only the beginning, we learn, we grow and we improve with time.

feel artistic cane.
