Sewing at first, was very frustrating to say the least. Forgetting to put the ‘foot’ down, then realizing after you’ve sewn a long line your f*ucked. BUT, practice, practice, f*ck up, practice…and you’ve begun to master an awesome tool. I have been experimenting with my sewing machine’s settings, different stitch patterns, lengths etc. I am really digging the the closer stitch zig-zag pattern. I am now using that stitch to sew on my BKNY labels as well as some funky add-ons (pictured above).
This shirt was made for my buddy Headhoods (happy bday cvg!). I’m thinking I may do this on all the Scissors tees, but we’ll see, I may also just wait for a new BKNY design to pimp.

5 minute sneak peak!
Banksy’s film “Exit Through The Gift Shop” premieres in NYC this Friday (4/16) at Sunshine Cinema and I couldn’t be more excited. After reading this, I straight-away bought 2 tickets to Friday’s show SOLD OUT show. It’s going to be awesome. Not to mention, if it’s anything like his L.A. premiere, I’m pretty much guaranteed to see my first Banksy street piece (I have seen his gallery stuff).
The messages of Banksy’s work is what I dig the most. I love street art, but could never justify scribbling your ugly tag on random walls…for me its all about the visual impact (and for artist like Banksy, the message). I still have a ways to go ;).

HOLY! I’m certain I’m not the only one blogging about how freakin’ awesome this video is, but damn. That TETRIS sequence…sooo clever. I really want to make that Pac-man sequence into some sort of shirt idea, but can’t now since I’d be copying. I hope someday I will get the opportunity to work on and learn special effects. I know Final Cut somewhat, but can’t imagine the cool promos/commercials I could do for BKNY if I knew all those effects tools.

It has taken me up until now (what the heck was I thinking) to finally pull the trigger on a digital camera. Buuut, I’m now the proud new owner of a Canon EOS Rebel XS DSLR and couldn’t be more excited. With good design and cool products a given, photography is the the keystone to selling clothing, etc online. You wait, BKNY is in for some extreme enhancements (enhance…enhance…).

This made my day. I am always a sucker for quality, simple and iconic logos/marks. To me, they are the most impactful, yet simplest forms of graphic design (think about the Nike swoosh). This mark by Jon Contino kills it.

I’m so glad that creativity and I are bffs.
