THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presents STEVE THOMSON Steve Thomson, known as "Happy Life Wood," is a realism artist and sculptor who specializes in wood inlay, carving, and sculpting techniques to create lifelike objects. He does not use paints or stains in his work, instead sourcing exotic wood species to achieve natural color variations. His most notable pieces include three-dimensional wooden sculptures of sneakers and clothing, meticulously hand-crafted and carved with distinct textures to replicate fabric and other materials.After a 25+ year career in corporate marketing and graphic design, Thomson transitioned into woodworking. What began as a hobby evolved into a passion, and one day, he decided to repurpose wood scraps in his studio to create an image. After six months of experimentation, he completed his first portrait—a depiction of Kobe Bryant—which he sold to Bryant’s former teammate and international basketball legend Pau Gasol. Since then, Thomson has sold and commissioned pieces for clients worldwide, including auctions with Sotheby’s and Heritage. In the past year alone, videos showcasing his art have amassed nearly 150 million views across social media platforms. Notable owners of his work include Michael Jordan, A$AP Rocky, and Kevin Durant. He has also collaborated with Jordan Brand, BMW, the Chicago Bulls, and the Golden State Warriors. In 2024, Thomson designed and collaborated on a golf sneaker with Jordan Brand, which debuted during the Masters Tournament. Thomson’s process is highly detailed and labor-intensive, with most pieces requiring hundreds of hours to complete. His work continues to evolve from his workshop and studio in Rochester, New York.Watch the documentary https://youtu.be/dRcr-pP-7JwINCHSTONES PLAYBOOKhttps://a.co/d/hil3nloSUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER⁠https://thevibebykellycardenas.substack.com?r=4nn6y5&utm_medium=ios⁠BUY THE VIBE BOOK ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/6tgAJ4c⁠⁠ BUY BLING ⁠⁠https://shop.kellycardenas.com/products/kelly-cardenas-salon-bling⁠⁠ THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE PLANEThttps://www.lulusmexicanfood.com/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - BROOKLYN CARDENAS ⁠⁠https://www.brooklyncardenas.com/⁠⁠

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presentsSPEECH - ARRESTED DEVELOPMENTTodd "Speech" Thomas is a Grammy-winning artist, poet, and trailblazing cultural icon whose impact on hip-hop, social justice, and Black culture is both profound and enduring.  As the visionary leader of Arrested Development, the two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop collective, Speech has used music as a force for empowerment, reflection, and positive change. His artistry and activism have paved the way for generations, blending socially conscious themes with a commitment to equity, unity, and creative integrity. Since their debut in 1991, Speech and Arrested Development have been a groundbreaking influence in hip-hop, celebrated for their bold reimagining of the genre. Their debut album, 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…, sold over 4 million copies and garnered numerous accolades, including Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Rap Single (“Tennessee”), two MTV Awards, a Soul Train Music Award, and an NAACP Image Award. Rolling Stone named them Band of the Year, and VH-1 recognized Arrested Development as one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. Their hit song "Tennessee" was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll," a testament to its lasting influence on music and culture. Speech’s contributions were spotlighted in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's acclaimed documentary South Has Got Something to Say, where he remarked, “There would be no Outkast without Arrested Development”—a powerful reminder of Arrested Development's role in shaping Southern hip-hop and paving the way for future icons.  Arrested Development’s fusion of Afrocentric spirituality, social consciousness, and community-centered themes forged a path in hip-hop that few have rivaled, influencing artists globally and solidifying their legacy as cultural innovators. Despite these contributions, Speech and Arrested Development’s pioneering role in popular culture is often underrecognized, though their influence is undeniable.In 2024, Speech’s legendary status was further cemented as he joined an elite lineup performing with Queen Latifah, Common, De La Soul on the CBS Grammy Tribute to 50 Years of Hip Hop. This performance underscored his contributions to the genre, which were also recently honored by the State of Georgia with the prestigious Privilege House Resolution, recognizing his lifelong dedication to the arts, social justice, and cultural advocacy. INCHSTONES PLAYBOOKhttps://a.co/d/hil3nloSUBSCRIBE TO MY SUBSTACK⁠https://thevibebykellycardenas.substack.com?r=4nn6y5&utm_medium=ios⁠BUY THE VIBE BOOK ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/6tgAJ4c⁠⁠ BUY BLING ⁠⁠https://shop.kellycardenas.com/products/kelly-cardenas-salon-bling⁠⁠ SUPPORT HIGH FIVES FOUNDATION ⁠⁠https://highfivesfoundation.org/⁠⁠ EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - BROOKLYN CARDENAS ⁠⁠https://www.brooklyncardenas.com/⁠⁠
