"That One."

Looks like you can already commemorate what everybody is saying is the highlight of the 2nd debate:

Reminds me of a recent movie:

Helvetica Alphabet Tees

If you're like me, you love and use the font Helvetica to the point where you want that to be the name of your first daughter. Now to show the simple complexity of the legendary font's design, American Apparel has shirts that take it back to the basics: the letters themselves.


The 2001HA Helvetica Alphabet T-Shirt is available in Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Hh, Jj, Mm, and Ss with more on the way. I've already sent my request for a Jj! [via Rumplo]

The Audacity of Pez!

Karl Long blogs about wicked t-shirts in his website Tcritic. He also begain licensing T-shirt prints from independent artists. In timely fashion the first Tcritic shirt comes from artist Eric Rewitzer of 3 Fish Studios: The Prez Dispenser!

The Obama-inspired shirt is based on a linocut by Eric Rewitzer. The only thing that would be sweeter is if Pez comes out with real Barack dispenser. I would fill it with Hope and orange Pez!

Hope, Change & Progress are definitely tenets our next president should OBEY

Recently artist Shepard Fairey of OBEY has recently donated his iconic Obama "Hope" poster in support for the Art For Life Art Auction. As of this writing, the 45 x 69 1 of 3 editioned collage is going for upwards of $75k.

More Obama, right?… Well, this is something special. After Shepard’s initial feeling not to make a fine art piece of the OBAMA image, he thought about it and was presented with an opportunity to do something exceptional. When Shepard was asked by industry heavyweight, Russell Simmons, to donate a piece for his Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, he felt this was a worthy cause. The piece is being auctioned for the Art For Life Charity event. This piece is approximately 4×6 foot in size and its a mixed media stencil collage on paper. It may be the only fine art piece of this image available to the public. You can bid on the piece through the Art For Life Auction here.

from ObeyGiant.com

For those not in the know, Fairey made his support for Barack Obama known when he created prints concerning the 2008 candidate's themes. These prints sold out indefinitely and are now as much in demand as they are famous.



However those who missed out on showing some love by obtaining the prints have the opportunity to wear that support with OBAMA x OBEY x UpperPlayground collaboration hoodies. At $60 each, the hoodie sales will go back into producing more Obama Campaign materials and maybe more posters according to the website.

For those who like a little light-hearted support, Karmaloop has some Back To The Future inspired Barack threads by Sons of Liberty!

Great Scott! This is HEAVY!

Need some OBEY gear in your life?

Sample sales are always great places to rock some hot deals on hot threads and OBEY Clothing's 2008 summer sample sale should be no different. It'll be going down Friday May 30th from 9am to 7 pm and on Saturday May 31st from 8am to 3pm in 3500 W. Carriage Dr, Santa Ana 92704.

If you're ready to OBEY, prepare your credit cards and expect to come home with giant bags full of gear; or at the very least look as awesome as the guy in the back of the flyer:

Snap, Crackle and Pop meets Rap, Hood and Hip-Hop!

Keeping with my previous post about cereal, comes another breakfast mashup, where this time cereal meets street. Kellogg's, the company behind character-driven breakfast cereal mainstays, joins street clothing company Under The Hood for a new collaborated line they're hoping will leave fans of both scenes clamoring, "They're Grrrreat!"



Kellogg's famous characters are all here, from Frosted Flake's Tony the Tiger, the jolly Rice Krispies trio Snap, Crackle and Pop, Honey Smacks' Dig'Em the Frog, Corn Flakes' Cornelius Rooster, and finally Toucan Sam of Froot Loops fame. All your favorite cereal mascots jump out of the box and land emblazoned in outlined patterns over shirts, jeans, hoodies, and track jackets. You can check out all the styles at Under The Hood's online store.

The brands definitely acknowledge that the strange combination of the two flavors is definitely a taste that'll split the masses between those that "Dig'Em" while others will feel soggy. In full compliance with that thought, check out the models' faces:

On the other hand we've seen every cartoon character from Fat Albert to Bugs Bunny on clothing, but Kellogg's/Under The Hood's line seems much more out there and therefore giving it a much bigger "WTF/Awesome" factor to the mix!

So whether you think its the most absurd thing that has happened to the urban clothing waves or perhaps the most genius, one thing is for sure:

Nothing spells out BOLD better than rocking out an outfit that says, "Follow Your Nose" while pointing to Toucan Sam's rainbow snout splattered over your ass cheeks!!


Personally, I know I NEED this Honey Smacks Track jacket IN MY LIFE to rock with my Reebok Voltron ERS Racer Green Lion 3 kicks:

NOW that would be a mashup-mashup!

As for myself, I'll be sporting my Bleeding Heart black tee by Craig Brickles, still available at threadless.com.

Happy St. Valentines Day lovers and fighters!

Who's more fly?

For those in need of some crazy ninja action NOW (and like me can't wait for their upcoming ninja hoodie), there is a pretty awesome T-Shirt they have available called Bad Ninja:

Ninjas are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet!

Hot Plate! Hot Plate!

Poketo, makers of fantastically awesome wallets, bags, and t-shirts, has added something new to their arsenal: homeware! I saw these plates over at the Poketo booth during Comic Con and thought they were too cute to use, but Angie (co-owner of Poketo) said they eat on them all the time! They're dishwasher (but not microwave) safe and super light-weight.

The artwork on the plates are courtesy of Tokyo-based artists PCP and Ogi. Poketo always collaborates with various artists for their products which I totally love about the company :) These plates are $32 for a set of two and come in a screen-printed box.

This Ogi set is my favorite. Look at the monster dudes!
Angie also said they were thinking of expanding the homeware line by adding cups.

Something else thats new on the Poketo site is stationary. Journals, pens, a photo album, planner, envelopes . . . so many new things!

Sketchbook planner $14

Don't forget to check out their brand new wallets and t-shirts, too! They feature the work of international artists from Barcelona, London, and elsewhere. Here's the ones I like:

Top to bottom: Alex Noriega, Peskimo. Each $20.

Thick Girls are Dope

I'm back from my trip to the Philippines! I'll update you all on some of the things I checked out while I was there in some later posts. In the meantime, I saw this shirt from Blood is the New Black for sale on Bazaar Adriatic. I'm absolutely loving it but I'm just a bit confused...

[picture taken from Bazaar Adriatic]

Someone please tell me why this shirt would be SOLD OUT in a a size SMALL?!

[image captured by carmeL from Bazaar Adriatic]

They still had some shirts left in a size medium. Sorry folks but larges were sold out as well. The shirt is on sale right now for $24 so better get to it before those sell out as well.

Until next time dorks...
