I had the pleasure to be invited by my friend Dave Marshal to participate to his great 7000 Words project.
Dave basically invite a creative person each week to curate his virtual gallery. 7 days, 7 photos, one story. Go in his archive and check photo by Sp One, Nish, Erik Brunetti, Boogie,etc… My story is called “morning commute”. Here is day 1.

The past few month has been crazy. The Destroyer Journal for Nike is done! Thanks to Tim Barber, Alldayeveryday, Stephen, and specially Aaron my biz partner who killed the layout and put the entire thing to bed.

We got some new products on the No Mas Website with some great Everlast-New Era Caps including this one rocked by Kid Chocolate.

If you around Nolita, you can go check the wall that I designed for the RED Campaign to raise money and awareness to fight AIDS in Africa. Tim from Colossal killed the job in 2 days. I will post a small short movie about it as well as some photo of the work in progress.

I also started to see all around town the logo I designed few month ago for that guy for this project

I have been invited by Jeremyville to be part of a new design book called Muscle Up. As you can see on the advertisement, my work is going 3D.

Muscle Up is a collection of some of the most exciting, dynamic, and engaged art by 30 of the most daring visual male artists in the world. They’re artists who thumb their nose at convention, and – no matter how established their ‘careers’, or how internationally renowned their work – they are artists who refuse to grow up. Defiant and rebel-rousing, these creators playfully cross boundaries between graphic design, fine art, graffiti, film, product design, fashion, fiction, and heaps more.

Full artist listing:
Jeremyville / Jaime Hayon / Dalek / Jeff Soto / Anthony Lister / Dave Kinsey / Adam Wallacavage / Andrew Jeffrey Wright / Andy Mueller / Ben Frost / Bill McMullen / Buffmonster / Dave Bonney / Devilrobots / Doze Green / Ellis Gallagher / Eric White / Gary Baseman / Haroshi / Jim Houser / Jonathan Zawada / Kid Zoom / Kill Pixie / Kimou Meyer / Michael de Feo / Mike Mills / Mike Perry / Numskull / Oliver Hibert / Rinzen / Ryan McGinness / Shag / ShoboShobo

Last few month have been really crazy work wise and I didn’t really have a minute to rest and post work related content. Many projects are cooking but few are fully baked yet. Here is what I can show you as an appetizer of the big program we started at Nike Stadium on the Bowery. I will have more update in the next few week. Nike 255 Elizabeth store basically closed down last month and we moved in at 276 Bowery for a new customization experience. Stadium MFG is born. Come check it out. The Bowery Stadium crew refreshed the facade of the building with the stickers we designed with Doubleday&Cartwright. Get used to that name ! Our website coming soon. Check out the video from that day by our friend R.B. Umali.

Happy Birthday Jaja! We love you!

Today the sky was menacing and the light amazing. I took a car and cruised around BK with the family. Once we landed in Red Hook, I left to the wifee the headaches of Ikea and walked around the boardwalk with the kids. We soon noticed three gentlemen from the hood fishing on a pier. The crew had good material: Good lines, hooks, weights, “BluntVille” grape cigars, live crabs and chicken meat for the hooks. As we hang out with them, they told me there were born in the early 80’s in the rough Red Hook Housing Projects. In the 40 minutes we chilled on the pier, 2 Blackfish got pull out of the water. One good for the frying pan the other one too small and released immediately to avoid a ticket. Yes, they were playing by the book.Thanks to those 3 anonymous gentlemen for sharing their passion and letting me take some nice shot.
