Krink G-Shock.

2011-03-21T16:08:03+00:00

Available worldwide mid-April. I’ve been getting great feedback on this watch and I think it will sell out quickly. The design is really simple and I’m very happy with the way it turned out. The matte silver looks great next to the full mirror face. They had to dig really deep to find the matte silver finish. They must have sent me 25 samples of different silver watches, and then only a small portion of those finishes were available for this model watch, finally we found something that I liked and could be applied to this watch. Apparently it’s never been used on this particular watch style and has not been used for any watch in a very long time. It was really interesting seeing the subtle differences of all the silver finishes.
My favorite part is the clean face. I took out all the technical type, so it’s super clean; a G-Shock first! I sneaked it past them, as they initially advised me not to do it. I have a feeling future collaborations will ask for the same, as the type was really small and very distracting without adding much to design or functionality.

From the press release:
While staying true to the G-Shock toughness and technology, the DW6900KR-8 carries the tradition of Krink’s minimalist design aesthetic, the DW-6900KR-8 has a metallic matte silver finish (Casio pulled it out of it’s library especially for KR) and for the first time in G-Shock history, the watch will bare a full mirror face and LCD display. Craig also omitted all technical type from the inner ring on the face of the watch, making this piece the cleanest look G-Shock has ever produced. Each G-Shock x Krink timepiece has a custom-made “silver on silver” commemorative tin for its collectors.

Hostem London

2010-11-30T20:20:04+00:00

I just got back to BK from London, a very cool town, lots to see and I hope to go back very soon.
I linked up with James from Hostem and the good Dr. Romanelli, for the opening of DR’s “The Prescription Shoppe”.
James was working on a new space that hadn’t been renovated or touched in what appeared to be decades. The idea was to have an old school house party, the kind where you wreck the place and everyone has a great time. They gutted the space, brought me in along with London legend Drax and we proceeded to handle biz, Trans-Atlantic style.
The XX came through and represented with an awesome DJ set, Absolut showed up with bartenders and mad Vodka and we all had an amazing night; shout to Shoreditch. It was really fun and such a different vibe than the all too common fashion or art parties that are just too clean and pretentious.
Thanks to everyone who came thru, to London, and to James and Pandora, Mark, DRx, Al OHWOW, The Brown’s, Drax, Stephen Exit, The XX, Hostem, Darren, Angus, Alex, Alexandra, Combat Simon, and Will Nash. More at krink.com

Krink Tom Sachs

2010-09-27T21:42:44+00:00

Introducing The Krink Tom Sachs Special Edition Marker Set.
Limited to 100 pieces. Each piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
Highest quality. Handmade in the USA.

We worked closely with Tom to create markers that suited specific needs for his work. Tom uses a lot of different markers in his work and he has strict standards related to flow, durability and archival quality. He tested a wide variety of Krink products and we formulated inks to meet his specs. The K-12 rollerball is a brand new marker tip that Tom is really excited about, It’s unique to the market, and is a Krink / Tom Sachs exclusive. We also formulated a new red “Slow Drip Formula” for our K-66 marker meeting Tom’s specific specs. Perfect for NASA logos on any surface.
We also have a new barrel design and over cap for the Krink K-70. Tom liked the ink and flow properties so much that he felt no change was needed for this Krink classic.
To complete the set, Tom created a custom “Dock” to hold the markers, taking his trademark “Police Line Do Not Cross” wood stock and drilling out custom holes for each of the markers to sit in. Each base is equipped with rubber feet, signed on the front, and numbered on the bottom.

Available at tomsachs.com and at colette.fr

Krink in Paris

2010-09-16T19:30:39+00:00

I just got back to NYC from Paris a few days ago. Paris is an amazingly beautiful city. It’s big like NYC, and I always have the feeling there is a lot more to see.
I was in a group show in Galerie Joyce in the gardens of the Palais Royal. A really beautiful place with tons of history. I had a really nice time and enjoyed great hospitality from Mily and Sam Kadz Thanks Mily and Sam! Thanks also to Olivier for showing me around. Agnes and Chris. Sarah Colette.

Krinking the front windows of the gallery.
The Palais Royal.
3 for 1€, they got garbage down the way…
The last time I was in Paris was in 2003 for a group show with fellow New Yorkers at Agnes B’s Galerie du Jour. I still had a few tags on the phone booths out there, as did Sace, Rage, and Ease, all from ‘03.
By coincidence, Ryan McGinley, Dash Snow, and Harmony Korine were in a show at Galerie Du Jour. Agnes heard I was in town and asked me to come by and paint something on the gallery. Thanks to Agnes and everyone at the Galerie!
