New tees available at Upper Playground. And just in time to celebrate the Fourth of July with this beauty by yours truly. Ice Cube meets Uncle Sam. Wear it at the BBQ and get in a heated debate about gun control with your friends and family. Beer can make it more exciting.
The word is out about Akomplice Clothing’s season number 9. This release is chock full of goodness with a creamy center. Check the Ronaldo, Donaldo and Mickey collabo.
Fifty24sf Gallery releases the Dumb Dumb graphic on a t-shirt.
Dubya with the Great Gazoo from The Flintstones. In case you don’t remember, he used to call Fred and Barney dumb dumbs. And even if you don’t remember, it still makes sense, doesn’t it?
Get it before before he gets out of office! Available at the Upper Playground shop.
It’s a KENYONB x THE HUNDREDS collabo! It’s always nice to work with someone who gets my style, and Bobby hits the nail on the head with his write up about this tee.
In anticipation of the upcoming Presidential debates (or not), The Hundreds is dropping “Fear of a Barack Planet� by satirical, often sardonic, artist Kenyon B. Available starting this Saturday morning only at The Hundreds LA and The Hundreds SF.
Obviously inspired by Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet� (which was in itself a politically charged work commentating on the socioeconomic plight of black America), the illustration is stirred by the recent campaign, media infatuation, and public celebrity of Senator Barack Obama.
Allow me to disclaim that the t-shirt is not a cut-and-dry advocate of Obama for President. Although our political tendencies may seem blatant, the shirt’s message acts as a double-entendre that, served as a conversation piece, can swing both ways. The overall theme and concept being that there is a genuine concern, whether in enthusiastic anticipation, inquisitive curiosity, or outright fear, that dominates Obama’s aura and the surrounding ‘08 presidential race. Whether that stems from his leadership qualities, credentials or his oratory skills, to his religious beliefs and yes, even his skin color.. surprisingly, the illustration acknowledges that the mystery does exist and thrive, and as we prepare to decide on our nation’s next leader (one whom we all hope will save us from the throes of war and economic downshift), hopefully it encourages us to see beyond the mystery and explore and understand both sides of the coin before we can rightfully make that choice… that is, if we ever get to those aforementioned debates…
If you’re lucky enough to grab one of these (retail store only!!!) wear it and watch. First debate is on tonight.
The word is out, I’ve got a collab tee with Colorado’s finest streetwear label, Akomplice. Check out the rest of their Season 8 line-up as well as the photoshoot.
The FR x 222 collab hoody gets some love over at the Complex blog.


A new tee design is available at Future Relic
Inspired by the album cover for 7L & Esoteric’s new LP “A New Dope”, a subvert of the poster design for Basquiat and Warhol’s collab paintings, Esoteric and myself teamed up to create a tee design in similar fashion. Esoteric’s contribution was the equation on the paper. I then elaborated on the idea with the kid falling asleep in class while attempting to solve the problem, but his paper ends up becoming part of his day dream.
