We’ve been puttin’ on Warpaint for Spring ‘10. Right now, you can pick up some of these ultra-glossy, skateboard-worthy preview stickers from Standard on Peachtree or with any of your online orders (while supplies last).
If you spot any of these around town, send us your pics. Maybe you’ll get something nice in return!
This is been a long time coming… Another collaboration with El Bar Atlanta, pays homage to one of the most loved and infamous streets in town, Ponce De Leon, better known as PONCE if you’re a local. You’ll be sure to find ourselves or some of our very good friends enjoying themselves all up and down Ponce De Leon on any given night; especially at El Bar.
These caps are manufactured by Estate L.A. and will be released very soon. Sit tight kiddos!
I’ve only been teaching at Portfolio Center for 6 months, but this is probably the best (or my favorite, at least) Entertainment Design concept so far.
The assignment was to create and album cover for the Miley Cyrus vs. Notorious B.I.G. mashup. Hilaaarious!!! This is a work in progress, and I’ll definitely update the final project once it’s dunzo.
Great job Jessica G!
The Champion of our Fantasy Football League, Alan Woodruff, sent me this photo of himself and our beloved trophy. The subject line: “Only 6 more months…”
Not cool bro.
Fresh outta the slammer into your earholes [via the blogosphere]. Welcome back Rubber Band Man. Now it’s time to do something about that horrible acronym-based clothing line of yours. Yea I said it… If you have the means, you should hire some folks who know what they’re doing. It’s hurting your personal brand more than helping it. Call me… we’ll get a GrindHouse burger and play some FIFA (or NBA Live). We’ll hash it all out in an afternoon.

I tell my students this all the time: If you don’t start your designs with a grid, then you’ve already screwed up. I don’t care what you’re trying to accomplish, you need a grid. Sure, you don’t want that grid to “own your ass”, so you can always intentionally “break” that grid after establishing it. But opening Photoshop / Illustrator / InDesign / Fireworks / etc. without any idea of how you’re going to lay something out is going to kill you in the end (and your designs will most likely be crappppie).
U.S. Royalty has released this, downloadable EP as they make their way down the East Coast and across the South to Austin, TX’s South by Southwest Music Conference. If you’ve never heard of SXSW, you’ve been living under a rock. Wish these boys luck as they’re sure to melt faces at their SXSW showcase.

The usual suspects (Dax, Zach Wolfe, and Sumner) are at it again with another Big Boi video that’s destined for virality. Nice work again boys!
Our studio-mate, Joe Martinez, just tweeted this image from Times Square. He’s responsible for the awesome photography of Portugal singing sensation, Ana Free. Congrats Joe! This is big…

Our crew’s favorite Dubstep DJ, Mayhem, puts his unique twist on 8Ball & MJG’s track, Ten Toes Down. I love listening to his live sets, because he always finds a great way to incorporate some Dirty South flavor into them; as you can tell from this remix.

This is ridiculous! Madsteez completed this mural in 6 days. I’ve painted many-a-mural, and it’s not easy. The piece spans 80ft x 30ft and is on the rooftop of the Ricardo Montalban Theater on Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles. I want to see how he planned this feat!
North Carolina’s, Stranger Day, brings us a new track in collaboration with Chicago’s British Knights. I’m a huge fan of this song and his new visual identity. Check out that Padre’s inspired SD! I’m looking forward to hearing more from this project (if there is anything else to hear). It’s always encouraging to see a friend put themselves out there in a major way.
Word on the street is that Stranger Day might be making an ATL appearance very soon…

The World Cup is 101 days away, and Nike has finally revealed what their teams will be wearing in the tournament. One of the most interesting things about these new kits is that Nike’s Considered innovations are in each kit, as they are made from recycled plastic bottles. Each kit contains up to 8 bottles worth of recycled plastic.
