Proper Agenda

JANUARY 29, 2008

This past weekend we stopped by both the Agenda and ASR shows.. One of the documented highlights, a lunch with Tom and Cottrell ( JoyRich), and Aaron (Cuker Design).. The shows, just more of the same, and for some reason ASR was really old this year, maybe the whole underage drinking thing hasn't really worked out for them in the past.. HA

Sunday's in LA

JANUARY 14, 2008

Another fun filled Sunday passed by.. Thank god the chargers won (I mean obviously they won) because if they didn't I don't know if I would have the motivation to write this ...

But anyways, Rico (Afrobots) and I hit up Saddle ranch for a little bfast then back to the pad for a meeting with Danny (Once Upon A Time).. Danny's Once Upon A Time brand is really killin it, with the likes of Jay Z, Jim Jones, and TI (to name a few) rockin it regularly..

We headed down to Ron Herman, Crooks and Castles then to the Sunglass spot next to The Hundreds to get a bit of inspiration for his new sunglass line Illesteva (in which I'm designing, catch them dropping Summer 08')..

Ending the afternoon with an amazing root beer float courtesy of Eric (UNIF), and a quick what up to the homies at Joy Rich... nuff talking take a peek..

Rico caught in the middle of a deep thought....Who do I like better Petey Pablo or Cougars?

The Cali Life

JANUARY 10, 2008

One of our artists at Stampd' LA, comes from the talent of Greg Cali.. We recently received an order asking for The Strokes album covers on both sided of the chucks.. Something I personally wouldn't have designed, but we like to take on things out of the ordinary.. Cali and I collaborated on these kicks and the end result came out dope..

Even though Greg can throw down on a pair of Stampd' LA' s his real calling is in fine art.. While at his pad I took a few picks of a few things he had laying around, but to get a real feel for his work/talent check out his site at thecalilife.com
