MEDIA MONDAY'S

HERE'S A COUPLE SHOTS FROM LAST SATURDAY AT OTIS. WE DID "THE ESSENCE" OVER THERE IN ASSOCIATION WITH INTRODUCTION, THINK WE KILLED IT. BIG SLIM TAKA AND I HAD A NICE 90'S SITUATION GOING ON. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAE YEE WHO TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS.



THIS WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE BUSY BUSY! WE GOT MIKE BLABAC COMING IN ON FRIDAY FOR HIS BOOK SIGNING! AND THEN ON SATURDAY WE HAVE THE PLAN BXFTCFXDEL COLLAB IN STORE PERFORMANCE. THEN WE HAVE SNEAKERPIMPS JUMPOFF WHERE WE WILL DISPLAY OUR NEWEST COLLAB WITH LAKAI, THE MIKE CARROLL LOW TRIPLE STARS!




WOOOO HAD A LONG WEEKEND...RIDING 30 MILES ON THE BIKE, REDECORATING MY HOME OFFICE AND THEN SPINNNING AT "THE ESSENCE" AT OTIS! BEAST MODE FOR SURE.
LAST WE SHOT A MUSIC VIDEO FOR SHING02...IT IS FOR THE UPCOMING SONG "FOR THE CITY". WE GOT THE WHOLE FTC TEAM IN THERE. TAE CAME OUT TO RIDE A LITTLE WITH SHING02. SHOULD BE SICK.

THE FTC FALL WINTER 09 COLLECTION SNEAK PEAK

JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A TASTE OF THE NEW CLOTHES I DESIGNED FOR FTC WITH DT...CAN'T WAIT. WE'LL BE SENDING THESE OUT TO THE WORLD ASAP. BLOG IT OUT SON!

TYPOGRAPHY TUESDAY'S

SHOOTS I'M ON A ROLL HERE. FROM NOW ON TUESDAY'S ARE DEDICATED TO TYPE/TYPOGRAPHY/HANDLETTERING. I PERSONALLY LOVE HAND LETTERING I WAS SPARKED BY THE EARLY DAYS OF GRAF AND HOW TO CONNECT LETTERS TOGETHER AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN FONT/TAG. I WAS EVEN LUCKY ENOUGHT TO WORK AT MY UNCLE'S SIGN SHOP IN HAYES VALLEY "BOB LIPPI SIGNS". LEARNED TO HAND LETTER WITH A BRUSH.
THIS WEEK I WANTED TO SHARE THE WORKS OF MIKE PERRY. HE JUST CAME OUT WITH THE BOOK TITLED "HAND JOB" A COLLECTION OF VARIOUS ARTISTS AND THEIR LETTERING.
AND HERE'S SOME STUFF I'M WORKING. JUST TRYING TO FILL THAT SKETCH BOOK UP YA KNOW.
MOSTLY SOME FTC WORK AND SOME FAVORITE LYRICS I LIKE.

MEDIA MONDAY'S

SO I HAVE A NEW ONE FOR YOU. MY MEDIA MONDAY'S ENTRY. EVERY MONDAY I WILL TRY AND POST UP NEW MEDIA THAT FEATURES MY WORK FOR FTC OR ANYTHING RELATED.
THESE ARE JAPANESE STREETWEAR MAGS THAT FEATURE ITEMS DROPPING FOR FTC AND ANY OTHER NEWS RELATED!
THIS ENTRY FEATURES THE WORK I DID ON THE FTC X T19 COLLAB LABELED "FRISCO BOYS AND NEON BOYS". REFERRING BACK TO THE SF CREW AND THE TOKYO CREW.

Oh the advertising world.

This is going to be a sick documentary. My experience in the ad agency world was cool but I can say I'm blessed to be at FTC and not the corporate shit!

INSPIRATION WEDNESDAY

SO EVERY WEDNESDAY I WILL FIND SOMETHING INSPIRATIONAL AND SHARE! TODAY'S INSPIRATION COMES FROM THIS DUDE http://simonmemel.blogspot.com, SIMON. HE KILLS IT. THIS PIECE DEFINITELY KILLS, "THIS WILL KILL THAT" CUT OUT PLAYING CARD.

ROAD TRIP

TOOK STEPH OUT ON THE BIKES TO MASH UP TO FOSTER CITY! PRETTY MUCH AN ADVENTURE, HAD TO FIND ALL THE TRAILS. FOUND SOME GOOD FOOD AND A PLACE TO SWIM AFTER. ALL IN ALL I THINK WE DID ABOUT 30 MILES OR SO. NOT BAD! FINALLY GOT OUR BIKES IN SHAPE.
