The matchbook packs go along with the basic aesthetic that is the Maiden Brand. Their new season of clothing not to give it away but I'll just elude to it through the word "throwbackery". take a look at their site and the tees more to come as usual

LAZY OAF

UK based clothing line with the hand drawn quality reminiscent of artists on fecalface.com and has an aestetic in alot of their lookbook that reminds me of jeremy scott. Definately a great look on their part though also with a wide array products and toys. take a look at their look book. http://www.lazyoaf.co.uk/lookbook.php

Y-3 Black Friday

Too bad I'm not going to be in philly for black friday would have definately hit up the Y-3 store had a few pieces I had my eyes on. But shout outs to the Joan Shepp staff and my friend Yoko the manager of the Y-3 store. Will hit up after break however.

Uniforms for the Dedicated

Yeah so I stumbled on this clothing line via hypebeast and was interested in their quirky imaginations blended into a fashionable aesthetic. their style is is definately out of the box..in other words pretty dope. The boxes on their heads reminded me of when I would use box shaped objects in imagery to liken it to the mechanics of the brain (ie: televisions, microwaves, blenders yeah it was out their might bring it back). But for some reason This video also reminds me of the movie "Magic In the Morror Fowl Play" from the 90's, some weird dreamlike movie where the ducks are english majesty (or something weird like that)

The covers kind of cheesy but hey it was the 90's

But besides the point Uniforms for the Dedicated is a dope brand

Check out their music also and gallery

THE MAIDEN BRAND

Maiden from Madison Dyer on Vimeo.

I think just about everyone I know is doing it pretty big right now whether it be music, art, fashion, etc..everyone is doing it up. Art students Mike Perry and Woody Harrington are the founders of The Maiden Brand judging by the logotype that was made up already I'm seeing big things from the pair. The video introducing the two as artists and designers has the feel of two kids playin in a screenprinting studio but these kids are actually producing some sick stuff. Me being their mentor of course, know a thing or two of what they have up their sleeves so just stay tuned.

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.

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.
