SHOW & TELL

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:48:45 -0800

Show & Tell Gallery has added an exciting new artist to the gallery’s growing roster. Hailing from Los Angeles, artist Patrick Martinez has received a lot of acclaim recently for his unique pieces that depict his surrounding growing up in LA. Whether it is a clever take on a neon pawn shop sign, or a foam hand celebrating stick ups rather than a baseball team, he approaches his artistic practice with a clever sense of humor that stems from growing up with hip hop culture on the west coast. His recent commercial clients include Stussy, Nike, Upper Playground, Stones Throw Records, as well as a slew of others.
We have received a very limited amount of prints and a neon sculpture. Act quick though, these wont be around for long. Check out Patrick’s art here
**Patrick will be showing at the Show & Tell gallery in the near future, you can check out his most recent works at the Fifty24LA Gallery featuring other Upper Playground artists for the Inglorious Basterds Lost Art show, which is still running!

We did a promo shoot recently with the lovely, DJ Fancy Nancy…
Being that this was her first time in front of a camera…
she was not “scurrrrrrred”

Another good shoot at the EK5OBITION Gallery.

DJ Fancy Nancy’s photo sets will be posted on Tuesday, along with the rest of the models that we’ve shot.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:57:00 -0800

I recently got a new phone because I was sick and tired of my G1 lagging and crashing, then someone told me about an APP called Task Killer…(shaking head).
I wanted to try something new anyway and I was a bit sold on the Motorola Cliq.
Then I discovered this custom home screen APP that basically customizes the way you navigate to your frequently used applications.

Slide screen…its made my days a lot easier.

The upgrade to the Cliq (all touch screen) is coming out in a week or so, I think I will switch to that…then upgrade again to the Nexus One, whenever that comes out.

Quit your whining about your iPhone and your Blackberry, saying this and that and my phone sucks, blah blah blah. It’s just a phone…if I had my Nokia 3390, I’d stick with it.

Whatever happened to personal preference?

SPECS OF OUTFITTERS

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:06:00 -0800

I always loved the visual merchandising at Urban Outfitters.
I know Struggle INC did some stuff couple seasons back, but whoever is doing it now is beyond awesome.

This place always inspires me, especially since I am in the process of finding a new home/office. (Pictures were taken at the Pasadena UO location)

I’m a sucker for glasses.
I picked up these wood grain Austin Readers while I was there.

Today’s post was brought to you by Mayer Hawthorne’s cover of James Pants’ “Thin Moon” on Stones Throw Records.

SHAY MARIA FOR MILK

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:20:45 -0800

The other day I was lucky enough to shoot the lovely Shay Maria for Milk.
This girl is coming up very fast and she is very fun to work with.
At only 20, she has been in such music videos as Jay Sean’s “Do U Remember”

And most recently noted…Primitive’s (Paul Rodriguez’s shop) Red Cup campaign

Thanks again Shay, look forward to working with you again!

MORE WEIRD THAN ANYTHING

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:29:33 -0800

It’s been awhile since I released a mixxtape, I was suppose to release one for Valentine’s Day but that got tiresome and timely, plus 2 DJs killed that noise already.

So I figured I make one on what I do best, being weird…I like to spin tracks at events that make people go…what the hell? But still get em’ dancing…violently.
This was recorded live literally this morning, so excuse me if I’m a little off.

This is dedicated to my homies and dear friends that have stuck with me til now…

I will have hard copies of this on me, if you see me, ask me for one.

MY HEART BELONGS TO WINNIE COOPER

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:44:39 -0800

I’ve been a design slave for the Under the Table Crew for awhile now…
Working with these guys have been a pleasure and an honor, on and off the tables.
Dstrukt has really pushed the bar with this Valentine’s Day mixtape…and I have been listening to a lot of mixes lately and this one takes the heartshaped cake.

Dstrukt approached me to come up with a name and a clever cover for this mix, we really wanted to use Stefan Urkél (Steve Urkel’s suave alter ego, ie: Family Matters) picture, then we went off in a tangent and brought up other 90s TV show characters…Balki Bartacamous (Perfect Strangers) and then finally the Wonder Years…

Who can forget about this TV show? And of course Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar).
Adam G. (Abstract Success/EK5OBITION), stepped in and gave this mix a proper title.
We had no idea that Dstrukt would go above and beyond this theme. It just goes to show his level of craftsmanship and the dedication he took on this project.

Without further ado…

THE ONLY SHOE CLEANER I USE

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:50:00 -0800

I once managed a boutique in the LBC…
and one day a man walked into the shop showing me a blank box in the form of a Nike shoebox, he then opened the box to show me a blank bottle with a light purple liquid inside.
He then told me it was a new sneaker cleaning solution he was working on and I wasn’t even suppose to see it, with hopes that the shop I managed would carry it.

Couple weeks later…he came through with the finished product.
Not only did the cleaner work like a fox but the finished product is amazing, the shop next door then picked it up.
Fast forward couple years later…Jason Markk is stocked at the best shops around the world; Proper, Reed Space, UNDFTD, etc. Not to mention collaborations with UNDFTD, Adidas, NORT & Staple Design.

Thank you Jason (Jason Markk) for giving me the opportunity to work with you, go check out JasonMarkk.com and see the sneaker cleaning magic for yourself.
