Enjoi Life

I think it is imperative to
LIFE
Have you ever assumed or exuded negative energy and negative shit happens; like hitting your head onto something or someone finishing the toothpaste in the morning and that aggravation alters your day and it becomes so negative. It's really is amazing how much that has to do with your attitude. See life is fickle, life is rude, life is unfair, but it's yours; life will beat you up but its your world to make or mess up and that is our number one responsibility we have to all take fully. The ability to enjoy life is never in the hands of the factors in which we put it in but lies with us, how we choose to act, believe, practice, embrace and use the gift of life.

(this shirt was never dope to me but the umbrella has so much symbolize; to block out all the negative shit that gets in the way of us enjoying life.)

AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill

Still stewing about the IronMan movie among many others. It seems Mr.Stark's reinvention or should I say introduction has gone hand in hand with metal music and AC/DC has seen it fit to add their old classic song "Shoot To Thrill" for the "50 mill" sold beast of an album "Back in Black" to the soundtrack and release a video. I believe the IronMan 2 soundtrack will be exclusively released by Columbia and AC/DC along with Jon Favreau and Marvel's igenious idea to link IronMan to AC/DC's high energy and excitement.

Train: Drops of Jupiter

I love it when music makes you think, when you get lost in interpretations, creativity and analysis all while listening to the song millions of times. Thats one of the many reasons I'm into art and creativity; when the mind stamps something out meant to be construal but has no concrete explanation. I've been listening to Train's Drops of Jupiter since I believe my freshmen year in High School and still don't have a concrete understanding of the song. Right now as I finished listening to it, my understanding is of two people in a relationship and the female counterpart believes she is not ready for love and takes a journey and comes back due to the fact that she needed to find herself but next time i will think it is about something else. Thats the art of it all which is why I will continue to listen to this song..

Formal Fridays

So I was recently talking to a female friend of mine, talking about all the little projects we do and eventually we got into a discussion about this blog. She checked it out and liked but had one concern; there was no love for the ladies on my end which was an utter surprise to her because she claims I'm "in deep love with everything about women". I told her its hard to do women t-shirts and she blasted me for that, i tried saying I focus on unisex shirts got blasted for that, told her i want to do dresses but can't focus on the waist up and as a designer herself her proposition was that most dress have their details just there. I've already posted one blog about dresses and now find myself confident in doing so in the future. So this Formal Friday dives right into the world of dresses and initially I will focus on events and will start with some of my favorite dresses from the Golden Globe Awards and elaborate more in the future.

Haiti Needs Us!!

By now we all know of the devastation of the occurrences in Haiti and there are many ways to help and thankfully those with deep pockets are seeming to offer a helping hand. There are many ways to donate and a lot of donators we can align ourselves with and if you've been looking around help out in some way. Here are some efforts.

Lady Gaga will use her ticket sale profits from her January 24 Monster Ball concert date to donate to Haiti Relief and dig this she will include the profits from the sale of this t-shirt as well as any merchandise profit made on her website the day of the concert.

Play Cloths has shown support by making a new t-shirt with a signature Haitian Jack logo look, which will be on sale and all proceeds will be sent to Wyclef's Yele Foundation. It has been on sale since the 15th and will end the 22nd of January

Sure Do

Ed Hardy: Onto the Fabric of Popular Culture







I'm sure you've all heard of this company Ed Hardy before. I mean I've never worn anything from this company in my life but I decided that since I make hip hop music and fashion goes hand in hand with what I wanna do, it was my personal obligation to find out what all the hype was about. So I did what any noble man would do in this particular situation; I hit up google and wikipedia LOL!

What I found out is The founder Don Ed Hardy, is an american tattoo artist born in South Carolina and was invited to study tattooing in Japan in 1973 where he became recognized for incorporating Japanese tattoo aesthetic and technique into his American style work.

In 1982, Hardy and his wife formed Hardy Apero Marks Publications where they published over 20 books including a 5 part book series titled "Tattootime" where they promoted and popularized tattooing to new audiences. He now has expanded far beyond the landscape of tattoos and on to the bodies/fabric of popular culture. I mean hip hop artists, pop stars and rock stars wear this mans' clothing


I will say this much, after doing this research I realized that I'm wayyyy too chicken to get a tattoo so I'll settle for the next best thing; my first Ed Hardy article of clothing.....COMING SOON!

HERE'S THE ONLY SITE THAT SHOWS THE COMPLETE DON ED HARDY ARCHIVE! CHECK IT OUT http://www.hardymarks.com/deh/
