This is not a goodbye, we’re just saying hello again. We’ve been working closely with School House LLC on building their brand into a collegiate apparel powerhouse. We also have a slew of freshness in the works for 2010. 2009 was fine, now lets do it again in 2010.

Hopefully, we’ll catch you on the flipside.

Always yours,

NO COVER!

It all goes down at Figaros (26 West 44th Street b/w 5th & 6th Aves. New York City) on Friday October 30th, starting at 8 and ending mad late. Last year we killed it. This year we’re resurrecting it. Be there or be scared.

More expanding!

When you start getting too big for your britches, you get bigger britches. That’s exactly what we’re doing. Pardon our appearance as we restructure our lab and website. We’ll occasionally update the blog with cool things, but with less frequency until the restructuring is done. We apologize to our viewers but trust us, it’s for the sake of progress.

In the mean time, check out The Real McKoy’s ACE Hotel piece below and more of his work at www.therealmcKoy.com.

FOOX-U is one of those rare people you meet that is super genuine and has butt-loads of coolness although he may be a bit off. He is like that crazy uncle that shows up at galleries that tells all the funny stories, drinks a little too much and then slides you a $20 because your his favorite niece or nephew.

In other words, FOOX-U is pretty awesome.

Like your uncle, he can pretty much do anything better than your dad. He paints, he makes t-shirts, and he creates vinyl figures. His latest line appropriately called ORGAN DONORS. With names like “Pickled Liver,” “Nuclear Thinker” and “Blunted”, you hearken back to the days of getting your first pack of Garbage Pail Kids, sitting on your uncle’s lap and showing him as he pretended to be interested and sipped gin behind your back.

Few words can be used to describe the immense talent and awe inspiring vision that come when looking at Chase Tafoya’s work. I surmise that the best possible way for the world to describe his art is “WOW!”

Drawing inspiration both from within and from environmental stimuli, Chase creates portraits that depict stories rather than just capture moments that carry with them an ethereal communication between him and his subjects that continues well after a piece is done. He also spreads conscious thought and community awareness as co-founder of P.M.A. (Positive Movement Alliance).

You can currently check out his latest works gracing skate decks in Full Deck: A Short History of Skate Art at Bedford Gallery (1601 Civic Dr. Walnut Creek, CA 94596) until September 11th. Also, be on the lookout for his future collaboration with DSTROYR, Famous, and The Soul Assassins.
