original description

Yo', my name is Overton Loyd and I'm a visual artist who lives and works on Gallery Row in Downtown Los Angles.�� My art has been featured in various magazines, television programs and album covers.� I've done a gang o' doodles for George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic and have been associated with the band for decades. I'm also part of the Los Angeles uber-funky underground Hip Hop community. What's dope about these art forms is the way that they've pulled people together through the years.� In the early 70's it was still damn near illegal for faces of different races to chill in some places.� Funk and then Hip Hop began to shift all that.� It brought mugz together on a whole new common ground. �It inspired us to play amongst ourselves while the rest of the world was beefing. Today, me and a crew of cutting (and edgy) artists developed a little performance band called Unification Theory. �Unification Theory was conceived by artist/writer Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca, MTV graffiti artist Man One, Terrence Mclain (aka DJ Joy Fanatic), and myself. The concept of Unification Theory is street futurism: visualizing the possibilities of the future through the prisms of Graffiti, Hip Hop, Spoken Word, Digital/Video Artwork, Techno, Funk and Jazz. The unification of these diverse creative minds builds new visual and sonic structures. �� The footage that you're wittnessing is from a recent performance at Crewest Gallery in downtown Los Angeles. � Madd props to George Clinton, Man One, Gustavo and Landmark Education for inspiring me to flip paradigms like pancakes! � If you want to know more, you can reach each of us at our respective websites: www.overtonloyd.com www.manone.com www.chamanvision.com www.myspace.com/joyfanatic
