DESIGNING OBAMA

last week, Scott Thomas (who was the design director of new media for the Obama campaign) stopped by the studio with Andrew and Cory to film an interview for the upcoming documentary and book titled Designing Obama. the book and doc are about artists and designers who did work for the campaign (both officially and grass roots style). it should be an interesting collection of work and stories.

STRUGGLE INC. for STUSSY

the “hand drawn type” camo print i did for Stussy is now hitting stores and the web. it’s a little craze for me to wear (i suffer from a middle aged midwestern condition called “old man style”) but it was fun to work on. if your eyeballs aren’t working that well, it’s a camo made out of letters spelling out classic Stussy phrases.

GEODESIC DOMESTIC (THE FINAL POST)

the full line of stuff i did for Sixpack France is now out. The line consist of 4 tshirts including one with glow in the dark ink ( Space Ship Earth), one nylon/polyester windbreaker, one crew neck and one hoodie. the Sixpack theme for SS09 was Utopia and radical architecture so i was inspired by and chose to pay a tribute to one of my heroes Buckminster Fuller.

LUNCH TIME LOVE #12

good to see some of the new heads here on the blog, big-up to allen for revamping the site.

figured id start off the new site with some lunch time love. ive been trying to loose a little winter weight so ive been trying to avoid eating at Hot Dougs too often, but today was 60 degrees out and all the snow is melted and it was just too nice to stay in the studio.

i kept it classic with a char dog with everything (no onions) + sport peppers and a Polish with mustard.
