dom was a friend of the consortium before the consortium existed, back when we were all in high school in germany. he was always a real cool cat and a great football player. sweetness and i played on the high school team with him and we all played on the local german side as well. dom was a year ahead of me in school and when he graduated he attended sonoma state in sonoma california the place he calls home. i remember taking an art class in high school with dom and for some reason we would work in our own room…can’t remember why, but it was cool because we’d usually spend the time listening to music, drawing/painting and rapping back and forth. during those classes he single handedly got me interested in hip hop – classic acts like digible planets, tribe, nice & smooth, etc. i visited dom a couple of times during uni while he was living a wild and awesome life on a farm in sebastopol. he was farming, painting and living a very different life from mine and i always loved getting into his groove while i was there. now he’s starting to make the initial moves in the local art scene and i’m sure sooner or later he’s going to be doing big things – if you like the look of the above piece check out his site dompadua and peep some more of his work and drop him a line. life is about creating meaningful things and dom is an expert. word
