Espo, Delta, Futura design new CK One bottles

[Vandal4Life]

Calvin Klein must be a fan of Espo, Delta, and Futura. He commissioned them to design limited edition CK One cologne bottles. They will be available in May for $38 each.

"The characters are mysterious... they're on the move, and they defitnetly have a mission." - Futura

"Incorporating my own design on a bottle was simply a new medium." - Delta

"CK One is a Gen-X icon, and I wanted to revist that and pay tribute in a funny, irreverent way." - Espo

Now back to your regular scheduled program.

[alleniverson]

i think its stupid to say theyre selling out.

calvin klein probably offered them a nice sum of money just to draw a picture for a bottle. plus you get your drawing on a ck one bottle - thats pretty dope in my book.

espo, futura, and delta have all paid their dues to graf and have churned out excellent stuff in the process - let them make a few bucks, dont hate.

1)Why do people must be so pretencious...just say i did the less i could do for the money...

2)Twister should ne in the project since this whole thing seems like a rip off from his work with the drawings on the bottles

3)How come graffiti writers being all hardcore and shit end up doing the most played out stuff ever?

anyway,

fuck selling out, espo is a GENIUS for getting paid to draw a little middle finger to put on tons of bottles of cologne that people are going to eat up like crazy.

always been a fan off of making bank doing the least possible, and at the same time for some extremely oblivious large corporations. props.

word, if you always dreamed about working for ck, or guess or microsoft or whatever and you finally got your opurtunity to do so..its cool.

if you spent your whole 'underground' life hating them and now that they've offered a bite of the pie you just run to get it...its not cool


but like i said, whatever

I don't see anything played out about famous designers asking graffiti writers to design their cologne bottles. As far as I know, I don't know anybody that's been asked to do that, ever.

There's a difference between selling your self out and getting paid to do something dope. Not everybody lives in the "underground world" wasting their time hating on society. Personally, I'm a fan of designer clothes, and seems like a lot of other writers are too, including one that designed those bottles.

I'm also a fan of getting paid by doing as little as possible.

[TEE_rase_war]

or maybe the staff at CK are just playing on whats normal.



"tagging is the coolest"


mind you 95% of the joopies that buy those bottles will have no clue about any of those writers.

You're right, wrong term there..when i say played out i mean lame...the problem is that they didnt get paid to do something dope..they got payed so CK can launch a 'graffiti' face in the market.

I dont want to be missunderstood over this, i admire all 3 said writers to the max, still the reason i hold em so high isnt anywhere on that bottle. I bet you all feel the same way.

I'm not down for making money doing the least i could do, its a cool moto to toss out but if you really think about it..it cancels all the reasons you do what you do. If we were talking about clercks i'd be the first to say its dope to do less and get payed, still all these guys have led a life for decades, worked hard on their stuff and earned respect from people in their field, they're names got so known mr CK knows about them...the way i see it, when you get the chance to breakthrough in the whole world, you try to do your best. Justify the rep that follows you as a great artist and not sell your name and street credibility as a cool graffiti dude...

but anyway, thats just me, i dont see anyhting dope in those bottles...still they're better than the original ones and people i admire have more money in their pockets...pragmatism not idealism

[BROWNer]

yep.

[BROWNer]

yep.

[Oprah Oner]

I'm pretty sure 99% of people who see those bottles will not think, "wow that's graffiti." i don't see a problem with it at all, it's not exploiting graff. and i'm sure that you will get more ladies by telling them you did the design on the bottle of cologne that you happen to be wearing, even if it smells like ass

[krie]

i like the delta one, hey check out the new icons 12oz did up, good work haha:zombie:

[Al Green]

id rather see that on the shelf then half of the horrible fucfking ugly cologne containters ive seen.



personally.. ckone is very 7th grade.. in terms of personal taste.. its a notch..(a small notch) above cool water and polo sport.


1 notch above these
hermes orange
issey miyake
gucci rush

real pimps wear solid gold.



_pasta!pants!!!

[mental invalid]

blah............


(cue sound of flushing toilet)

[imported_some pittsburgh flavor]

yes, i do know def leppard has the one armed drummer. umma gumma is my favorite album to listen to when i'm shrooming.




let's see who's picked up by now.

[swif1]

man, i guess i'd be the only "stupid" one here on 12oz to actually buy all three just to collect them.

[mr.yuck]

Man I don't understand you kids on 12 ounce hatin every time a new writer makes some money. If nike fuckin came to me right now and said "We wan't you to do a burner on our shoe. We don't care what it says or what it means, just give us something," I would hop on it so damn quick. I would be gettin paid to "GET UP" on millions of moving billboards world wide. I think that i would be the first writer to go "ALL WORLD."

You guys that talk all this shit about keepin it real and not sellin out seem like you want to be poor forever, or live at your parents house and don't know what it's like to have to pay for everything that you own. I know i wouldn't think twice about using my talents to better myself.

FERSHER

:lol:

[fatbastard]

man it isnt anything new dont you remember all those girls walking around with $500 bags covered in louis vuitton written in an attempted "tag style" how many tshirts do you see for brands like stussy mossimo and mooks that are written in tag fonts or in a spray style with drips, i was reading a article that MARE designed a trophie thing for some award.. i dont know why everyone thinks this is like some new thing

[mr.yuck]

For some reason JNCO made me the maddest. It's like they had non writers attempt to create graffiti styles. Super wack.

But im all for writers getting paid to get up.

I think there where a lot of people hating when they heard that giant was coming out with his own shoe's. I don't know if that ever happened.

Yeah most people that see those bottles wont know shit, but CK is the one that hired graffiti artists to design their bottles... why?

I think it would be sad to become just another advertisement scheme to exploit yourself and graffiti culture for the money. If you have the ability to make work for a big company, be seem by millions of people, and get paid why not do something good... like maybe a big middle finger for the assholes that buy your shit??

i never said that the writers were selling out.

[imported_WISE]

Maybe i'm veering off topic, but the fact that a person came up in graffiti culture and did does graffit does not limit them to just that realm. Is it selling out for graffiti artists to sell canvases? Is it selling out for graffiti artist to work day jobs as designers?

I got to work with ESPO last year when we came to a hospital I was working at to help us create artwork to be placed in the hallways. Nothing is more corporate than a hospital, let me tell ya. We all knew he came from a graffiti background, talked about it, and did our project - that could/could not be called graffiti inspired.

Espo is hell tight, you guys need to look at these people as being more than graffiti artists. Fact is guy is grown, maybe when you get bills you just might try and make some money. It you can mkae money doing what you love, and a lot of it, I see no problem in that.

[Vlad]

nice designs, i might even buy them if they smell good too

[Vanity]

wise, they didn't hire espo because he was a cool guy or because they liked his work.. they hired him because of his name, and so the advertising dept of calvin klein can brag to hoes how they know about graff and shit.
espo's design is pretty fresh, im not gonna front... but all 3 of the cat's quotes were gay as my dick in your ass.

"it's like they actually removed the graffiti from the train and put it here.. it has the same colors, the same movement..."

that site is right though.. nike is gonna get their herb to do whatever whether we like it or not, so might as well be us.
who's delta?

[mental invalid]

"but all 3 of the cat's quotes were gay as my dick in your ass"



hahaha........gayer actually.........yeah theyre on a "mission", a mission to sell overated perfume at an overated price and exploit what you do so they can make 10 times what they paid you.........

[mr.yuck]

I sell cars for a living. I use peoples lack of knowledge against them to make a larger profit for myself. My fortune comes from other peoples misfortune. I make money and people go broke to pay me. That's the american dream and thats the way american business runs.

wow, mom must be proud.......

apparently, i woke up today and the world was perfect.

^ we woke up in different worlds then.

It really all comes down to the credibility of the company.
Joker did those Burton Snowboards and they were incredible!
Great design, great artist, great product and a great company.

Now with CKone...
Ok design, great artists, mediocore product, shady company.

see the difference?

walmart is all up in graffiti's ass with their new adds:mad:

It also depends on what you think of the company...

[imported_Tesseract]

Actually i dont think anything about companies, i think i said it before..if the concept and form allows your styles and ideas to work, its fine be me.


On the specific case, skateboard and snowboard brands are part of the whole culture graffiti is in...they relate in to many things...apart from that i'd be amazed by the view of somekid flying on one of those boards with speed over my head while i'd be seeing jokers stuff motion bluring in front of my eyes....it just works, you know...dynamics

[mental invalid]

i never knew this board was so full of blue blooded republicans....

...and to all those teaching me the valuable lessons of the dollar, thanks, but some of us our in our mid to late 20s, so save the lecture on getting a job for someone else...okay i make money....happy......christ you all sound like my parents...

as long as the rationalization lets you sleep at nite........

[mr.yuck]

just dont patronize me for being an asshole and tricking people out of their money. I mean, you vandalize peoples property, that's not really something mom can be too proud of....

There isn't a day that goes by when i talk to my mom where she doesn't remind me just how illegal the things that i do are, whether it is at business or when i go out and wreck. She's a good person and im not.:scowl:

[swif1]

it's great that graffiti will be the coolest thing. now i have a reason to swing a bat at a teenager's face.

[imported_daus]

That image of the bottles may not be whats released in stores. As expected ESPO's middle finger design got the boot from CK. I am working on getting an image of the final designs to update.

...heh:idea:

[mental invalid]

...funny thats the one design i kinda dug....im sorta surprised they would pull it...its not as like CK has ever turned away from controversy and are one of the few to push boundaries....too bad, i mean if they are gonna do it, might as well piss some people off....

[imported_daus]

god damn it, Im talking out of my ass again... disregard that part about the middle finger getting canned, I was confused... but there is another side to the bottle designs... Ive just heard about em but havent actually seen flicks but it sounds like it isnt going to let any of us down, well the ESPO design for sure, i dont know about the rest... time will tell. Peace.

[ana]

Calvin Klein is a shitty company that exploits people. To work with it is condoning what they do. Yuck.

On the other hand.

Doing what you love is priceless. Getting paid to do graffiti is pretty damn dope. Paying bills is pretty important.

Personal interests vs societal interests.

Hmmm...I don't know. Graffiti is suddenly "cool" again and the corporations are going to get as much mileage as they can from it. Course in a year or so, they're going to dump it and us faster than a stinky bag of poo and move into the next cool thing.
Yeah consumerism.
Personally I wouldn't do it. I don't want to help the masses gobble us up and spit us out. But I have no problems with anyone else choosing to work with large corporations as long as they get their due and realize what they're getting into.

[papychulo183]

Graffiti pimp juice!

[Vanity]

i must be one of the only people that doesn't wanna get paid for what they do... it'd be cool to have costs covered, but that's it.
i think i'd loose inspiration if i got paid to do graff or make music or what not, simply because it'd be my life, essentially, and i wouldn't be able to derive any aspects of it from the rest of life.
but hey, i'm wierd

[dignan]

yo, just my thoughts........the images quack like a lame duck on those bottles..........all those guys are dope but plain and simple, the bottles miss............sorry i just can't front and hop on the "it's dope" bandwagon.............but baby, you know i still love you ;)

[layhole]

it's funny how most of you guys are bitchin at them for getting paid for doing stuff they would normally not get paid to do. who cares if they are "selling out" you obviously aren't them, so you should leave their decision makings to themselves.
