Strength in numbers. Rooted in the symbolism of each digit 8 most often represents infinity, and 9 symbolizes perfection. For those refusing to settle, on a constant path of improvement, the quest for greatness, infinite perfection. #8and9Life #InTheTrenches

Thinks a string of facts works as a bio.
"Army of the Undeadstock" is Freehand Profit's first book and features more than 250 pages of full color photographs showcasing his work from the past few years. Each one of the more than 30 sneaker masks featured in "Army of the Undeadstock" is accompanied by a custom crafted haiku written by San Diego poet B(e) Selah. The book also features excerpts from Freehand Profit's blog 'The Hip Hop Nerd' discussing the meaning, the process and the spirit behind the work.

"I chose to balance my work with B(e) Selah's haikus because art should be discussed at length, not explained at length. In just 17 syllables, B(e) Selah captures a few ounces of each mask. There's also a tie to the ancientness of each art form (haiku poetry & mask making)." - Freehand Profit

"Army of the Undeadstock" releases November 28th on PROFITink.com but keep your eyes peeled at brick & mortars like Burn Rubber Detroit, the 8 &9 showroom in Miami and at Tradition in the Beverly Center.
