Foundation One Studios Presents....


Foundation One Studios is proud to present La Calaveras Pop, a showcase of new works by TindelMichi. Skull imagery once represented evil, danger and perhaps the nemesis of pop culture, but it has now evolved into a consumable product to contemporary youth culture.

TindelMichi are "two fat southern boys that paint." Their work combines abstraction and graffiti in the remix of "the art elite and the dirty street." Their work combines Ivy League suburban intellect, street scholasticism with southern charm and grace.
