Metropark x Two In the Shirt Collab Tee

August 16, 2009

Okay, so I don’t normally do this, but I feel like I just had to.

I got to take a look at the exclusive Metropark and Two in The Shirt collab. . . and damn!  I got to see the girls edition.

Also just notced that Metropark seems to have picked up the new season  (or at least some of it ) for Two In the Shirt.

A few of my favorites follow.

Attraction Tee

Poker Face

That’s all I got for now.  Now only if I could get paid to do this.

word to your mother.

Dial it in

July 31, 2009

Man, it seems like this “weekly” posting has almost become a monthly one.  I was looking through my mento feed when I realized that I’d been link things there, but never put them together here.  So here a few of my favorite things.

Enjoy.

Tees / Shirts

Two in the Shirt / Smoking Mirrors Tee

Fiberops / Misawrench Tee

Plain Jane

Kicks

In this heat, this is my favorite shoe right now.  Bold and light weight.  The mesh toe box is my favorite part of this shoe, and the tri-color sole is a nice touch.

Caps

I like a good cap, but the majority of most lines use the cap pieces as a little billboard simply pasting their logo across it.  One of these caps no doubt is a logo cap, but done in a good way.  The second just carries a good message.

Tenga x Bloc 28 by Disney

Blake Griffin x NEW ERA

Best part of this cap?  Stitched underneath the visor, it reads “Success is when talent meets hard work”.  This is a custom design for basketball player Blake Griffin.

That’s all I got.  Let’s see if I can get this back to being a bit more frequent.

Bamn! Color!

June 15, 2009

It’s been over a month since I posted anything.  I guess I’ve just been lazy. Unfortunately, this post reflects that.

Tees

Exploding Elephant by Sket One for Kidrobot

Ouch by Frank Kozik for Kidrobot

This is exciting because it hints at the new series 4 labbits coming out.

Obey – Have a Bitchin’ Summer

It’s a good thing Obey puts out so many designs, there is bound to be a gem under all those Andre faces.

LRG

The Kelly Tee

It was only a matter of time. Two in the  Shirt has slapped Kelly Karloff on a tee. Check out Metro Park for a exclusive color way.  Don’t know who Kelly is? Check her at Wrockette. Or you might know here from Karmaloop.com.

Update: Metropark had an exclusive color-way that was on-line when I first published this post, but has since seemed to disappear.  Oh well.

That’s all I got for now.

peace.

Before I head home

May 12, 2009

This past week at work has been hectic. I think there was a span of 3 or so says that i was pretty much, wake up, work, then sleep followed by wake up work and back to sleep.

That being said, I’ve got a few ideas both computer and sans-computer related in the works and a few days off to get them going.

Tees

I’ve got to say that I’ve been let down recently by my searches for tees lately.  Also the amount of designs Obey puts out is crazy. Too bad none of them are really eye catching.

This one from Another Enemy did catch my eye.  I don’t know what it has been about girls on tees lately that has me buying them.

Toys

On their forum, Kidrobot committed to updating us every two weeks on upcoming releases.  SGT. ROBOT is the newest incarnation of their logo boy. This is set to be releases on June 4th with 600 in each color.

In the department of OH HELL YEAH!

On May 14th, Kidrobot is going to release the list for their ( seemingly annual ) scavenger hunt. I’ve entered the last two years. The first, everybody got at least something for trying. The second year, wasn’t as fun. This year, it’s all photos!

Extra Reading

A nice bit on the orgin of Comic Sans
http://www.veronicabelmont.com/2009/05/comic-sans-had-noble-beginnings/

Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit – http://insecure.org/stf/smashstack.html
This was required reading while in school. Now it’s just for fun.

Preview

This is something that I’ve been slowly been working on. I finally got a first round of paint so I’m excited at how it’s turning out.

So that is all for now. I’m summing this one up so I can make a 4 hour drive back home.

peace.

This one is just for the exercise.

April 28, 2009

So I’m really slacking this week.  It’s not for the lack of time spent looking at tee and shoes, but more for the lack of time after the fact.

So that being said, I bring together another round of a few tees, some music, and maybe even some videos that kept me entertained this week.

Tees

Because you can’t be a winner every day.

You know you wish you could wear this shirt.

This is one of those that got added to the collection this past weekend.

Music

Inkwell, I feel in love with the second album “These Stars are Monsters” and have waited 3 years for this 3rd album.  Rivers of Blood and Sadness delivers on all levels.  It is one of those albums I can just put on and listen all the way through.

I have been obsessed with the lead singers voice since Metric since I heard her earlier last week on NPR’s All Songs Considered. Check out the video to one of their songs in the videos section.

Videos

That is all I got. Adult Swim has turned in to Cartoon Network, I think it is time to go to bead.

peace.
