Barclay's Center.......!!!!

_"The 675,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue will be home to the professional basketball team the Brooklyn Nets. For the first time since the Dodgers left in 1957, Brooklyn will have a major league sports team to call its own. The Barclays Center will welcome some of the most exciting sports and entertainment events in the world: concerts, fine arts performances, circuses, college basketball games, ice shows, and music award shows are just some of the possibilities."

"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.

Brooklyn We Go Hard_Jay-z ft. Santogold...............!!!(Evan Roth Video)

_Artist and Founder of Graffiti Research Lab, Evan Roth did a video for the Jay-z track "Brooklyn We Go Hard", which appears on the soundtrack to the upcoming film Notorious. The video uses typographic illustration to paint a picture of Jay-z and Big just using the word Brooklyn. Pretty dope stuff.

Brooklyn's Finest(for all the crumbs who never heard the song before, learn yourself)
