Sunday afternoon after a hectic weekend moving endless amounts of furniture, boxes, blogs, artwork etc.. I stopped off in Newport to say what up to Geoff, a fellow Toms Shoes artist, band member, and blog aficionado.. We took a stroll on the jetty at ' The Wedge ' and Geoff toyed with death by debating a rock drop in.. Look out for a an artist collaboration coming soon...

A bad thing turned good. This collection of Ked look a likes are going to be featured exclusively through LA based concept shop Joy Rich.. Previously for Dim Mak Collections, Pop Defect fashion show, they will soon be available at a reasonable price. Check Joy Rich for details..

Fashion blog Thread trend covered Cyana Labs Heather Ledger T, as well as Stampd' LA in one of their new posts. Here's a screen shot of their site.. Click HERE to peep their blog..

Here's a limited run of Ked's look a likes going in to Joy Rich, Melrose later this week..

Japanese magazine ' Pinky ' did an extensive coverage on Joy Rich in their May 2008 issue. They also were able to fet a few pictures of both Stampd' LA as well as the UNIF window (note the black sloppy arrows i drew, Perez Hilton style).

An inspiration for me since my dad introduced me to power 106 in the early 90's.. I pulled a few vids, timeless.

To be weird.. Tonight we're most likely going to be giving away a lot of free ice water given the mustache epidemic happening in LA right now.. See you there.

Japanese based blog WB4 Headline did an extensive coverage of our kicks dating back at least six months.. I don't know if he's been collecting all of these images or what but he has things I haven't even put on the blog.. Click HERE for the link, hopefully is was a good response given I can't read any of it.. haha..

Lil Weezy wont stop.

A little late on this post but had to shout out to LOVA, a dope up and coming contemporary brand coming out of LA. They held their launch party for their Summer/Fall 08 collection at Taste in Beverly Hills last week. Had to show some love to my homie Giuseppe (one of three owners) and peep the new stuff.. A lot of pieces being offered are a staple in anyones wardrobe. Pick it up at American Rag and Scout, amongst others.

Jerracuda logo I did.. Peep the new Barracuda feat. J Hair

A few pieces of inspiration that I've pulled over the past few days.. I was able to pick up my first pair of Common Projects over the weekend and they're amazing. The following few pics is from their new collection.. (Stampd' LA contemporary series coming soon)

08' Y3's

After one of the longest weeks of work, everything came together for our show at Box 8. Here are a few looks courtesey of Apparel News. More are on the way.. And check the Impala on the runway, get merked.

This video was taken from the redbull crew last month at the Active x Toms Shoes instore.. It's kinda whatever

This Friday to end LA Fashion week we're doing a show at Box 8 Studio's downtown. Check the flyer for details and rsvp HERE. Cadillacs, Cholo themed, Mariachi's, Blog's, be there.

Once again a Zebra wall was painted to take over another living room. This time in the same color way as the first one done. For a cool $1500 you can have one too.

We're doing this.. Possibly a zebra installation, possibly canvas shoes.. Stay tuned for details.

Holly's has become our resident spot, stop by and say what up! Devin's bananas..

I wish the sample came out a little bigger, but all in all good work. This design is one of the most innovative I've seen, and I'm sure will be a huge success. These just dropped in Undefeated.

We updated the site with some fresh new pictures encompassing work done in the past four or so months. Go to our home (Stampd' LA) to peep.

Will (Durkl) is in town handling production for his line and wanted to stop by and make it weird.. Not only did he do that, be he also introduced Eric (UNIF) and I onto a new word.. Tshowrtz = ("shorts", with a really ridiculous lisp). Checkout the new heat that Durkl is putting down, they are taking over Europe and the rest of the planet. Get ready for round 2 of the Stampd' LA x Durkl shoe. We have a new one dropping soon!

Tom (JoyRich) and I stopped by the Class Trade Show, Santa Monica, Sunday.. s Orthodox, Shmoov, WESC, Red Clay, Subscript, Cavern being part of the show, the product was there, but were the buyers?

Eating lunch outside, my view..

Tom's view.. Obviously he won.

Stopped by Conveyor 'Fred Segal' on the way out to say what up to Scott, and check on the S LA's in the store..

Had to make this purchase..

So I guess there is a first time for everything. This time, that being two things;

1: Designing both sides of our Stampd' LA's ( never before have they been covered on both sides)

2: Charging 3 bills for our work..

Hope you like

(pre Stampd' label)

Saturday in Newport..
