ASU

So last weekend the crew and I headed out to Arizona for a fashion show held by the ASU Fencing team. This trip has been one of the most eventful journeys I have ever embarked on. We got there and didn’t go to bed till 4am after we left the bar and jammed on some jembes in the street with a homeless man and his dog which was funner than it sounds. The show was amazing, they even let us try on the gear and have a go at it. Thank you to everyone that was involved this was such a fun event, well organized and on point. My models were great Arizona was amazing….Until Next time here is a video of our trip

It makes me want to go out and just live my life and forget about my troubles. So Stebs if you see this…thank you! You have no idea what this video means to me and I hope I get to meet ya one day. Till then here you go my friends…enjoy!

O.K.I.M Show Video

This past Saturday was pretty cool my good friends from O.K.I.M had a show opening up for the Young Money artist known as Tyga. Everyone was pumped it felt good to see some old faces as well as meet new ones. Pretty stoked we had some of the guys supporting my brand and what we do here. Guitarist Santana was rocking the Simply Misunderstood Crew Neck, drummer JP sporting the Grey and Black Logo Tee and Miko showing off the BP shirt in the beginning of the video as well as giving us a shout out towards the end. Thanks guys for the support. Here is the video from the show.

Influenced

One of the cool things growing up in Corona (the town that I live in now) is that we are right smack dab in the middle of everything. It takes  45 min to go almost anywhere big…the beach, the mountains, the desert. So yesterday I decided to head out to Huntington Beach for a little while and try my luck with getting us into a couple stores out there. While I was out there after I talked to some of the stores I just wanted to walk around for a little while. So I did and it was actually amazing how when I sat down by myself and took a couple pictures how inspired I got by the things around me. You can really see some great things if you look close enough. I got some great ideas in my head for some things this summer all thanks to that little trip.

Necklace Samples

Today when I walked to get the mail I was in just a ehh mood having a good day but then I opened up my mailbox and to my surprise I saw these bad boys below waiting in a package for me. These samples are just a little sign of what is to come from me and this brand. So keep your eye out for these in the future.

Pogs and Sonic

So I was just thinking about how much I loved the 90′s I realize I was just a kid back then and being 22 now I can see how good we had it back then and also we had the best toys and cartoons. Which got me thinking about something soI looked in one of my drawers in my desk and broke out my old pogs that my mom almos threw out. And started scheming some ideas together to make a t-shirt inspired by pogs and possibly some 90′s cartoon shirts as well. Hmmmm time to bust out the drawing pad.

Come hang this Sat!

This saturday 11/12/11 we are going to have a booth thanks to some friends of ours that are going to be playing the show at the Press Box in Anahiem this saturday night doors open at 7pm and the show is all ages with $10 at the door.

Trip to UCSD

This weekend I took a trip out to the University of San Diego to visit my little sister, who is now in her sophemore year. We had told eachother a while back on the 5th of november I would drive down there to watch V for Vendetta which is a great movie btw. To which we did followed by some other fun activities. Eating junk food, looking at art, playing late night broom ball…etc

    Probably one of my favorite spots in San Diego.

    Saw this just walking around La Jolla and thought it was beautiful

 A pretty sick print by Andy Warhol at his gallery in La Jolla

  We had to satisfy our sweet tooths so we took a tip to the famous Ghiradelli Chocholates in downtown San Diego

I saw a bunch of these posted up on the windows of the dorms on campus and thought a lot of them were good but this was my favorite and caught my eye the most. If you look closly they are actually a bunch of post it’s collaged together to make a picture of mega man…awesome!!!! Kind of gave me some inspiration or a design haha.

Chain Reaction With OKIM

Last night Mikko (front man for okim) gave me a call and told me about this last minute show out in Anaheim at Chain Reaction. I thought it would be a fun trip to get some good pictures and see some friends. Towhich I got to meet a couple new ones. I was pleased to see that the band all sported Envy Tees and the new 2 wave snaps. Here are some pics from last night.

Time to Carve

Monday night was one of the most fun festive nights I have had in a while, the perfect cloudy weather came to so cal with a little bit of rain. It was time to make my way over to the pumpkin patch, I looked and finally found a beauty…well a missfit beauty it was a little lopsided. After leaving the patch our friend Tara was having a pumpkin carving party/contest, I was determined to get first place. With a great spread of candy, chips, drinks and some help from friends came some more tasty treats like the cupcake in a cone mmm mmm mmm. I was feeling like paying homage to one of my favorite holiday movies “The Nightmare Before Christmas” so I decided to try and cut out a Sally, it didn’t exactly go my way but I still think I did a good job haha. Check it out.

                              My Lopsided Sally and my girlfriends awesome Jack Skelington

                            MMMMMMM delicious cup cakes in a cone

                                   The winner of the contest our good friend Josh, good job!

Snap Preview

So today I stopped by my embroider to take a peek at our new snap sew out. It exceded my excpectations and hopefully I will be able to have one on my head by the end of today. Here is a little preview of the sew out.

50/50 Burger

If your ever in the Anaheim hills, Yorba Linda or Huntington Beach area here in So Cal be sure to stop by at Slaters 50/50 Burger and Design. I was taken here last night as a surprise from my girlfriend and I have to tell you it was delicious! We started off with some fried macaoroni and cheese bites, which I have never had before but loved. With so many options you get to design your burger from top to bottom. I’m a little picky but I had to experement and got their famous 50/50 patty (half beef and half bacon), American Cheese, 1000 Island Dressing, Scrambled Eggs and finally covered by a good old Wheat Bun. It may look like a hear attack in a bun but trust me…it’s sooo worth it! Unfortunatly I was way to full for desert but if you aren’t be sure to try something else they are famous for…their 50/50 Bacon Brownie it looked sooo gooood! So if your ever in any of those areas give this little place a try and a fun place for happy hour.

It’s HERE!!!!

It’s here, new shirts for this fall line is finally here! With more additions soon to come. I’m super excited for all these new releases. The shoot was super fun, a big thanks to our photographer Bobby, O.K.I.M and my girlfriend Holley Expect a couple more Halloween driven shirts a long with maybe a new commercial here and there. Until then…ENJOY!!!!!

The Good Ol Days

So this weekend at my Grandparents 60th Anniversary (Congrats again!!!)I saw a bunch of the little kids running around with some of the old Mcdonalds toys I use to play with as a kid as well as other action figures. So my dad decided to whip  out some of the coolest things from my childhood. If you were a 90′s kid you definatly knew who the power rangers were. He came outside with the white ranger and half of his costume but also with his White Tiger Zord…BAM just like that I went back into kid mode. I was surprised I even knew how to assemble it as fast as I did. As if that wasn’t enough he brought out the Blue and Black Ranger battle bike figures UN OPENED….AMAZING!!!! I was so happy to see this I just had to put it on my site. Being a 90′s kid, seeing all those shows and all the wacky things that went on in those years made me the person I am today and flowed from  that into my brand. So I guess thanks dad for bringing back those memories and I hope this post brought back a couple for you guys out there!

Kids Line Preview

Today I got started on designing my first kids shirts. After popular demand from friends and fans I finally jumped on it today. This weekend I watched cartoons, ate cookies and it got me inspired and made me feel like a kid again. I’m super proud of what I have so far and what is to come. Here is a little preview of what got done today, stay tuned for more updates you can also follow daily updates on my twitter and fb, I recently made a tumblr so expect some fun posts on there as well.

Check Em Out: Lions Lions

For those of you in need of a breath of fresh air and some good new music for your ipod here they are!!!!

Hottest 100 Music Festival

I just got home froma very long weekend from yet another festival. This weekend I headed out to the Irvine Lake for the Hottest 100 Music Festival, which comprised a number of diffrent styles of music. From Hip hop to electro, and rock. Along with making new friends as always, this event was close enough to home that we were able to have a bunch of our good friends come out. We had quite a crowd in front of our tent friday night, before my good friends in O.K.I.M took the stage. The festival was pretty fun, the weather was a little up and down, had a little time to make some slap doodles but overall it was a pretty good festival for the 1st year of having it I believe. I was pretty excited I must say to take on the giant mouse ball, and if I may say so everyone should try doing that at least once in your life its a blast. A little update new hoodies are on their way, along with snapbacks and some new shirts so stay tunned
