one of my favorite graphic designers and definitely an inspiration to my own designs.
ive contacted him through a forum numerous times telling him im an aspiring designer myself and would love to intern for him. He told me to contact him when i get to san francisco....hopefully one day. but yeah he runs an honest company with clean concept driven designs, and not to mention he's worked with alot of my favorite streetwear brands...anyways check out the video.

Honda unveiled its new concept electric vehicle, i must say its pretty amazing, even seems a little ahead of its time. It is battery powered by the solar panel roof, has interchangeable interior seating, and most important the passenger side door includes the amazing Honda U3-X, Honda’s new unicycle, which I’m sure any day now is going to blow the very popular segway out the water. Heres a few pictures of the vehicle and a video showing how the U3-X works.

growing up one of my favorite movies ever was the Back To The Future series.
i loved every single one of them and i can say line for line when watching the movies.
i love back to the future like nerds love star wars haha this movie was just so ahead of its time and the way it portrayed the future and the past was amazing and i also loved the Delorean time machine i used to tell myself i would own one when i grew up! looking back on this movie really makes me sad that to this day i havent watched a movie that has beaten back to the future.

look at marty mcflys outfit its dope! i would rock this tomorrow if i had it haha


not to mention the shoes of the future that laced themselves


and of course who could forget the delorean? i still want this car.


anyways, i just thought id share some of my childhood memories lol i could post a million more pictures, but that'd just take too long so go watch the movies!

came across this dope video of Red Wing.
a true family owned operated successful shoe company that can be spotted worn by the likes of Drake and some other big names. I found this interesting because im just really fascinated with the way things are made, the quality of materials used and just the overall production process. lol im a loser.

Everything is hand picked from the leather to the stitching, only the highest quality materials go into their footwear. I have a real respect for American owned and operated and established footwear companies that still do everything by hand; from picking materials to sewing the stitches into the boot. By doing so only guarantees top notch quality and construction, something many brands today are lacking. Anyways, check it out!

saw this video for one of my favorite streetwear brands awhile back.
labeled Black Scale x Tenderloin Project
the project was started to raise awareness and money for san franciscos tenderloin district which is home to many homeless people.

i cant help but think what knowledge and creativity some of these homeless people really have. I bet they know and can do way more then we ever give them credit for. I feel that a lot of times Poverty breeds some of the illest shit, from rappers to art to even fashion just to name a few. Sometimes i think that homeless people live lives that we secretly and unconsciously wish we could live..not the money aspect of it but the aspect of living life day to day, taking things as they come, and not worrying about the consequences, but what do i know im just a guy with a blog, and a million ideas and opinions.

anyways its a dope video and a dope project. Mega and the BlackScale crew always do things proper! so check the video out, its definitely worth a look.

back to back blogposts! whoa!
lol anyways first off, R.I.P. Alexander McQueen..
he committed suicide today, ya know i never really thought about it this way but its hard for me to feel sorry for somebody who commited suicide bc it just feels like a cop out, but damn he was one talented mother fucker. Pushed the envelope in fashion design, came up with extraordinary clothing pieces as well as his jewlery line which i love but could never afford... one day..and most of all he really took fashion to to the edge and challenged competitors and even followers to new hieghts...what a waste, but RIP nonetheless.

whats new in the life...nothing. all i do is eat, sleep, surf the internet for things i want and drown myself in design and illustration homework. Its boring and monotonous but i only have a year left so i gotta try and buckle it down and look at the bigger picture! im thinkin ill be going back to california again this springbreak with my parents, i miss my baby nephew and i wanna see him badly! and on top of that im thinking about trying to pay a visit to some streetwear brands out there that i follow and kind of try and drop my name out there so maybe i can start interning for some of them this summer. who knows, we shall see! big hopes and big dreams.

blah i need to go clean my screen printing screen..i have too many t shirt ideas right now that i need to screenprint! wish i had a machine to do it for me, i have to do it by hand which is so damn time consuming...oh well its not too bad it makes each shirt much more personal.

ok im rambling now so ill end with a picture that i really like.
