From Erik_

"While living in Brooklyn I would leave drawings and wheat pastes of paper birds as my own bread crumbs through the city. After several years it was possible to see each static image as frames of a much larger piece; one that employed the entire city."

Mishka does Astrology........................!!!!

_Scorpio Agent of М.и.ш.к.а! Lamour Supreme (are you sick of that name yet? I hope not) cast Scorpio as the ultimate super agent who’s somewhere between Taskmaster, the Punisher, Nick Fury and Cyco Simon in an homage to old school Comic tees. Bet you didn’t catch that Scorpio only has one visible eye.

_3Illustrated by the incomparable Arik Roper, Taurus is our mythical Minotaur as Jason dares to enter his labyrinth. I love how this design is at once 70s Stoner Metal and 80s Amiga RPG/Adventure game box art all at the same time.


_3Leo takes things in a much more whimsical direction. Leo, our Lion of Judah lays down some wicked dub styles on the streets of Kingston. Illustrated by our own Swedish Meatball, Skinny Digital AKA Child Portions AKA Pretty Looks AKA Henrik who’s like the second coming of Wilfred Limonious, except that he’s a total Batty Bwoy (J/K).


_Aries, which got the Zodiac killer treatment by Glamnation in the form of a patched together illustrated note left behind by our killer! You can’t tell from the picture but the blood splatter, thumbprints, and tape of the note were printed ridiculously well. Fear the Ram!



_Gemini, one of my favorites. Longtime Mishka illustrator and transformers freak Daniel Dussualt took this sign of the twins to Cybertron and came back with this. Gemini is re-imagined as Cycobot Clones that look identical to robots,but transform into two totally different vehicles! A double drilled tank and a missile shooting bulldozer.


_With Libra we go back to one of our favorite stomping grounds for tee designs, Metal! The scales are transformed into a Russian Thrash band who are Loud, Lawless and ask… Only justice for some? Illustrated by Glamnation.


_We had some fun with Sagittarius, riffing off it’s Centaur icon. First time Mishka illustrator Josh Landry worked with our in-house staff in reinterpreting Sagittarius as one of those dirty Mexican Comics known as Historiettas. The promiscuous centaur frolicking the woods with some horny wood nymphs. This is definitely one of our get you suspended from school tees.



_Pisces was a tricky one to do but we, eventually settled on turning our Bear Mop into some sort of weird deep sea fish. Illustrator Pierre Botardo went to town here creating some sort of mutant spawn of a Piranha and a Catfish, while still keeping the Bear Mops identifying marks solidly intact.


_Aquarius was a tricky one! But Sara Martin came through in the end with this Medusa-inspired image of The Vessel!


_Mike Jones (yes, the rapper) took Capricorn’s goat and transformed it into the iconic image of The Baphomet, done with both Cholo and Russian tattoo style.


_Jon Vermilyea took on Cancer, transforming our Bear Mop into an oozing, thorny crustacean! Definitely not something you ever want to encounter on the beach.


_Virgo. Ellen Stagg photographed the lovely Charlotte Stokely as the Virgin clutching some shafts of wheat. We then gave the photo a modernized take on 70’s zodiac tees with an ornate border and angelic details.

Dan Funderburgh x Brooks...............................!!!!!




_"Alpe d'Huez is one of the main climbs and has been a stage finish in the Tour de France almost every year since 1976. The first was in 1952, won by Fausto Coppi, at a time when most cyclists were riding Brooks Saddles. The pattern of the Alpe d’Huez impressed on this saddle has been designed by Dan Funderburgh, a wallpaper designer and artist in Brooklyn, NY. His patterns, prints and installations are varied in content but all demonstrate an unabashed love for decorative arts. With influences ranging from Moorish mosaic to American pop art, the work is a repudiation of the fabricated schism between art and decoration. Some of Dan’s work can be found in the collections of the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum and the Miami Museum of Modern Art. Dan loves bicycles and has created wallpaper patterns with bicycle parts."

WiiSpray............!!![video]


WiiSpray Teaser from Martin Lihs on Vimeo.

'The foundational basis for the project goes well beyond replacing real graffiti as an art form. Moreover, WiiSpray
is to be seen as an interface to give graffiti a new virtual level surpassing tactile boundaries of the tangible world.

Within the system, there is a symbiosis of digital and analog as well as overcoming restrictions of distance and time. An advantage of the system proves to possess a user-friendly design simple enough for children to use. The virtual canvas allows the user to decide what is saved and what is discarded, all the while keeping the surrounding area clean and free of what otherwise would be a messy form of media.

The actual hardware tool of the artist – the spraying can – remains constant in its shape and
function and is a catalyst for this software supporting innovative computer interaction. The self-explanatory program requires no previous knowledge or reference of a user’s manual. This software allows users to make the game all their own, offering a wide
range of colors, interchangable caps, along with the possibility to incorporate the user’s personal photos, graphics, and backgrounds into the setting.

The WiiSpray provides a framework of different possibilities yet without any specifications on how to use it. Every user decides for themselves what his or her creative expressions might be.'

Justine Lai F***s The Presidents............................!!!!




_'In Join Or Die, I paint myself having sex with the Presidents of the United States in chronological order. I am interested in humanizing and demythologizing the Presidents by addressing their public legacies and private lives. The presidency itself is a seemingly immortal and impenetrable institution; by inserting myself in its timeline, I attempt to locate something intimate and mortal. I use this intimacy to subvert authority, but it demands that I make myself vulnerable along with the Presidents. A power lies in rendering these patriarchal figures the possible object of shame, ridicule and desire, but it is a power that is constantly negotiated.

I approach the spectacle of sex and politics with a certain playfulness. It would be easy to let the images slide into territory that's strictly pornographic—the lurid and hardcore, the predictably "controversial." One could also imagine a series preoccupied with wearing its "Fuck the Man" symbolism on its sleeve. But I wish to move beyond these things and make something playful and tender and maybe a little ambiguous, but exuberantly so. This, I feel, is the most humanizing act I can do.'

LEMAR AND DAULEY X DC SHOES 2.0





_'Next week is the official release of the L&D x DC Collaboration. It was great to partner up with the big homies again for yet another classic. The muse for the Lemar and Dauley admiral was the idea of regatta sail boats. Fabrics and materials used on the sail boats originally inspired, but in the process of creating the shoe other elements began to reshape the vision to further address the lifestyle behind the idea. The shoe captures a metropolitan individual engaging in a beach bum mentality. Both colorways were created as a reflection of sand and concrete. The patterns on the side panels represent the art often depicted on regatta wind sails. '
