WAY 2 GO MISSING THIS ONE

         [^^ feeling this album art]

As I arrive in Canada early this morning trying to see whats good around here i find out that today was Summerstage in New York Central Park featuring Chester French Qtip and Little Dragon. Good job although I just discovered the two Chester French and Little Dragon I'm definately diggin their individual styles : Chester French basically the ultimate white boys but diggin it cuz their being themself and bringing their own flavor into the industry. Little Dragon jus got up on them seems real futuristic to me something I'd imagine people listen to in the future..based in Sweden their sound is a strange lullaby that is so new that they could go anywhere with it and itd still be exciting. also diggin the style of their video...

Fortune

love the cut paper look.. o yeah almost forgot Qtip he already I diggs his tunes my bro from queens..okay so I dont him personally but Im sure we'd kick it.

SCANTRONS TURNED OVER PENCILS DOWN

Call nike butter cuz their on a roll! haha the new back to school kicks inspired by the infamous scantron's that I am sure everyone has had to use at some point in their academic career. Last year it was the composition book pack which got a few nods, however I think these releases become more novelty then wearable ..just something kool to look at..but it excites me that nike is keeping up the tradition of releasing a new series of back to school sneaker whenever it becomes that time of the year again... also with the valentines day nike they always release..just brings me back to middle school when everyone would anticipate it and then rock them on vday and then never again for the rest of the year. i guess thats the problem you cant really just rock a pair of valentines day uptowns with the heart on the back on like...groundhog day haha.

ROCSTAR BRAND

Been on hiatus for a few days on business in New York meeting with boy Ace for the upcoming JUS INK 1984 line..just vibing off each others ideas just a fusion of artistic genius..haha but definately getting up on some other brnds of course researching and seeing whats out there came across the like ROCSTAR apparently an asian brand based in tokyo...mayb ill even be able to meet up with them when I head down there next year. almost forgot heres the link...http://www.rocstartokyo.com/collection/ 

I love the photography in this line the asian poses and the raw textures good stuff.

MIXTAPE MADNESS

Somebody's status on facebook after the BET awards was "if Jamie Foxx can say Maxwell get him a little moist, then Trey Songz gets me moist" lol. kinda faggody but still funny. nah but this guy makes good music ever since he came out wit the song "Gotta Make it" he's been doin his thing but all said and done the mixtape is online for the downloading so get on it.

JAPAN

So In Japan everything seems like its meant to be fun.... thas why I cant wait to go next summer.. i feel like an immigrant coming to America (Fieval Goes West) "In America there are no cats and the streets are paved with cheese"..yeah if you never saw the movie its about mice comin to America with the promise of cheese paved streets. but Im losing focus..my bad. So researching for my upcoming packaging and branding project a friend  sent me a link to the johnny cupcakes website. i guess he recently went to japan and was awed by their cool packaging..as was I just lookin at his snapshots... heres one for example..

Come one where else other then japan would this packaging fly...I'm sure not in America. 

Oh yeah and not to mention the fashion in japan...my dude hakim told me to make sure i come back rocking some japanese sneakers (ie: YOHJI YAMAMOTO Y3'S)

TOLU'S AYO MUSIC FULL VERSION

Yeah so I promised the full version of Ayo Music and here it is. I like the way it came out in the end Brendan Banks did a good directing and pretty much all the work ha. Even though like most artists he's not completely satisfied with the entire work ..who is.especially since I'm sure he's going to be the premiere filmaker whos going to change things up..but yeah I had my little cameo in the video too bad I was playing a regular person and didnt get my little JUS INK in the bottom like Tolu and Boss did. but check it out hit up his music page.. http://www.myspace.com/rbsingertone Definately check out the other tracks by this artist also the lyrics and vocals are sick..quality music.

SMILEZ DISGUISE POLO

Workin on this polo shirt for producer Smilez..you could say commissioned but i pretty much did watever I wanted as always. he said make something kool incorporating the name smilez.. ehh Im working it in somehow haha. its pretty much a huge cartoonish master of disguise type shirt ..fun ..kool for the whole family..iight Im done. well to keep you updated about stuff in the future..I got a shirt design for producer and singer Andre Jahlil (heres his site check it out hes also a photographer did a pretty kool shoot wit jim jones www.andrejalilproductions.com)and also the JUS INK ACE 1984 series coming soon..an uber 80's pack equipped with the acid wash and hightops..basically an homage to everything that 1984 stood for and the accomplishments made in that year whether it be music, fashion, sports, entertainment ya digg.  But yeah you'll hear more about that.
