Dino Foxx. Such an extraordinary person. Dino and I met early in 2011. We were discussing the backdrop Blu and I were collaborating on for the Push Pens set. Dino.. well he was making us laugh throughout the entire project! His stories are moving, his voice is beautiful, and his confidence allows him to rock the Mic on stage better than any theater junkie I know! So as you can tell, Dino quickly became someone I admire but, that happened when he introduced me to Yarn Dawgz! Now if you haven't heard of the Yarn Dawgz, take a moment to open another tab and search for them on Facebook or Google! Trust me, you will be blown away.. I know I was. I spent most of my high school days reading juxtapoz and during one of these days I noticed yarn graffiti.. different styles and colors from all over the states! I used to dream about seeing something similar in person. I would wish my street posts were covered in yarn! Naturally.. when I noticed yarn graffiti in my home town, I felt soo inspired.. but when I found out Dino was apart of Yarn Dawgz and this entire yarn movement in San Antonio, I was overwhelmed with excitement. He told me stories about reactions from the community then ended the conversation by telling me how much he enjoys spreading joy with color in our community and that moment really touched my heart. As an artist I can admire this, but as a member of our community... I appreciate Dino's work more than any words can explain... If I ever feel like giving up on anything, I can take a walk around the King William district and remember that dreams come true. Yarn Dawgz are beautifying our streets and now you can pick up one of a kind pieces for your home! I am soo proud to bring you all this exclusive interview with Dino as he tells us all about Yarn Dawgz and their upcoming endeavors!
