Hurley X Dalek X Munny

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

This past week we stopped by the Hurley X Dalek event which was also a night of different customized Munny dolls. Although I was expecting to see more pieces from Dalek seeing a two story piece was enough for me to stand in front of it and look in awe.

After we left the event we decided to stop and look around the area. Never really walked around Laguna Beach and noticed something kind of awkward. Who knew that Picasso and Dr. Seuss artwork would ever be in the same gallery.

Volume 8

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Our theme for Volume 8 was mainly influenced by 90’s style west coast hip hop. A good example is the use of the D.A.R.E program design that we all grew up with, flipped to a harsher reality. The phrase that “drugs rule everything around me is not me discussing illegal narcotics, but if you take a look around hospitals and pharmaceutical companies are springing up everywhere and seem to be doing fine in this recession we are having. For electric relaxation we flipped the famous image to something more humorous by having him give the thumbs up while getting electrocuted to comment on the ironic glorification of trouble making that was huge back then. Without getting into too much detail take a look at the rest of the collection.

Thanks,

Vincent and Mikey

Blue Pill or Red Pill

We all remember where that line was from. For those that don’t know let me help you out it’s from the infamous movie “The Matrix”. This video only took 440 hours of work, but that’s normal right.

The Fly Skate Contest

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

I stopped by Attic for their release with Fly Society and their skate contest.

Some familiar faces while chatting with the guys from Intro and Quintin.

Something unfortunate had to happen and it reminded of that infamous We Run NY shirt.

Best day ever for the winner

What would a skate contest be without lovely ladies.

5 minutes of Free Time

Friday, November 20th, 2009

So between assisting with Triumvir, designing cakedout, and a little dash of side jobs, what happens when you get 5 minutes of free time? Well, just like I did for every class I’ve ever taken in my life, I doodle. Yesterday I was looking over Triumvir’s autumn/winter line and really took a look at the Madonna tee from the Triumvir Autumn line - Bind Faith. So when I picked up a random insert from one of brian’s old Smart magazines, I got started.

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Today was a long and eventful work day. The thing that people don’t expect to hear when you work in the fashion/streetwear industry is that you’re still working while others are eating dinner. It’s not your typical 9-5, but ranges more on what needs to get done and by when. I stayed a little bit later to learn more on the product shot aspect from Brian (Triumvir) and Lerche (Triumvir). We all didn’t get back at the normal work time as you can see pictured below, but the main difference when we’re bouncing back and forth from our duties for Triumvir/Cakedout is that we have passion for it. I’m not constantly staring at the clock to see when I can get out, but more on what I can finish compared to my old jobs when I’m waiting for that big hand to hit twelve so I can get the hell out of there.

Good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
