ENIK SPOTTED

was driving the 405 North last week i and spotted a grip of Enik tags, pieces, and bombs. looks like he's been putting in lots of work. if you are from LA, you know how bad the 405 is always, but this is the only hit i could manage to take.

ESTEVAN ORIOL @ AGENDA 2009

the post below was sent over to me from Kevin at Last Laugh. so, credit goes to him. thanks Kevin.


Estevan will have a booth at the Agenda Tradeshow down in San Deigo the weekend of January 22nd - 24th 2009. The Agenda Trade Show is a forum for the most inspired in the streetwear and action sports industries to unite. Lines speak for themselves and buyers are not intimidated by the usual overwhelming tradeshow experience. From the garage-run lines on the verge of explosion, to the well-established elite, Agenda caters to the needs of buyers and brands that exist on a higher level of design and aesthetic. With a strong emphasis in style, art, music and culture, the Agenda experience is as much a lesson as it is a tool.


Show Dates & Times:
Thursday, January 22nd 10am – 7pm
Friday, January 23rd 9am – 6pm
Saturday, January 24th 9am – 5pm

Admission Policy:
Buyers, distributors and press are admitted into the show for free.


Manufacturers, suppliers and non exhibiting sales reps & non exhibiting designers are $50.00 per person. Cash Only, tickets can be purchased at the door the day of the show.
CASH ONLY!

The general public is not admitted into Agenda. Agenda reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone.

ESTEVAN ORIOL - THE RUN UP (2006)

here is ESTEVAN ORIOL's clip from UPPER PLAYGROUND's The Run Up from way back in 2006. get a rare glimpse into Estevan's studio.

MIKE GIANT ON CLARK MAGAZINE: PART II & RANT

ok, so i know this was already posted in regards to a few days back by my business partner and best friend OC$@R, but here are bigger images. you will also notice that Tommy Guerrero, Henry Rollins, and a few other names that a few posers or those who just jumped on the bandwagon (not just anyone reading this, but a few who know who they are, yes you) should get to know about. namely, someone said that i wasn't 'motivation' or 'support', but it seems like that person was wrong.

1). Motivation: it seems as though something motivates you to read every sentence, everything and every little detail on the blog, ShoutBox, and etc... i mean, sometimes i write things so hidden, minute, or vague just to prove the point that if you say you don't care to hear what i say, but i find it 'entertaining' that you end up scouring this blog 'obsessively' as you put it to 'hate' as you put it as well. remember?; 'obsessive haters'? all of this for your 'entertainment', i think that's a front.

2). Support: yes it is true, i don't support you or what it is 'you claim to do.' you need to be put in your place. you need to respect those who have been doing this longer than you and lastly, don't disrespect those who basically open you up to the things you claim to know all about now.

let me drop this, in fact, let us drop this because i am above the level that you are at pouting and 'whatever it is you claim to do'. i've been into this longer than you, wanted to do 'whatever it is i claim to do' longer than you, and i do it for the love. let me clarify, what i mean by being above the level you are on, is that i can be professional because to me, this is my profession, my love, my life, and generally; what makes me happiest to do, and ultimately what i aspired to do for the rest of my life. this is what makes me happy.

back to the main topic, this magazine that Mike Giant interviewed on features lots of key people in the industry or inspirational people. Tommy Guerrero and Henry Rollins are only 2 of the many people who have been doing this long before you or i, and only 'motivate' me to do what i love, for the love, and they are people we should 'support' because they have made it possible for me to do the things i love.

so back the the main topic; the interview with MIKE GIANT can be read on over at CLARM MAGAZINE. get to it.

thank you to those who 'get it' and are just generally good people at heart. those are the types of people i hope to reach, and those who don't i guess, are just those who will take offense to my rant...

SHAMROCK TATTOO - MARK MAHONEY

my better half went to SHAMROCK SOCIAL CLUB and has the ultimate pleasure of meeting someone very influential to a lot of people. i can't say he is influential to me because i am not a tattoo artist but he is someone i look up to very much and is a legend to me as well as millions of other people; Mark Mahoney. she also met Rick Walters, who is also another hero to very many. before Mister Cartoon and those who are becoming legends today, there was Rick Walters and Mark Mahoney. fuck whatever tattoo artist you claim. get educated...
