ETRNLST OG (PHOTO SHOOT)

I plan on doing a photo shoot for every design ETRNLST releases this Summer. Last week my friend Yauchi took some pictures of my old friend Anica wearing a few different colors of the OG logo tee. The shots came out great! It was Anica's first time doing anything like this. I think she's a natural! Here are some of my favorite shots.

ETRNLST F.C.

ETRNLST's third release from our debut Summer 2010 collection is not only celebrating the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but the greatest sport ever played. I worked together with my good friend and graphic designer, Eric Au, to come up with the final version of the design. I'm really proud of the final product.

The shirts were printed on light 100% cotton v-necks, which is perfect for the Summer! Enjoy the rest of the World Cup wearing one of these, or take it to the field! Like the IE design released a few days ago, the ETRNLST F.C. Crest is also super limited! Only 36 were made, so if you want one send an email with the size you want and we'll talk out the details. Email and more info can be found under the Contact tab at the top of the page.

F.C. Crest is available in men's sizes medium to extra large, and women's sizes small and medium.

With all the vuvuzela controversy going on, we had to throw a couple on the back graphic, along with the company slogan, "Creating More Than A Legacy."

KILLIN' TIME

Here's another great video from 10.Deep filmed by Nick Wnorowski of GnartifactTV. Good music, great skateboarding, and a beautiful city! For the love of skateboarding. See you soon NY.

I AM ETRNLST

This is the second design printed for the ETRNLST Summer 2010 line. Since I've spent the majority of my life in and out of the IE, I decided to give it a shout out on a shirt. I've always been a fan of simple designs with strong messages, and I think this is a great example.

This colorway of the design is limited to 36 pieces and they're available now in men's sizes M to 2XL. To place an order send an email with the size you want and we'll talk out the details. I'm working on getting the website and webstore together right now. It should be up when I get back from New York, or maybe before I leave! Keepin' my fingers crossed!

FOREST SKATEBOARDS MONTAGE

My good friend and skate mentor, Greg Green, rides for Forest Skateboards. He's been filming a lot lately for an upcoming Forest video. They just released this montage of the whole team at United Skatepark. We used to skate in the cafeteria at our middle school every morning! It's great to see that he's still pushing. All I have to say is...hardflip front crooks!

DUMA VS. SNK

My friends Kray-Z K and Lex Diamond run a rap battle league called Daily Duels. They asked if I wanted to battle in Daily Duels 6...so I did! It was a promo battle, meaning it didn't get judged. Either way it was fun and a great experience. I'm looking forward to my next battle.

41 PAST MIDNIGHT

I can honestly say that Save from 41 Past Midnight is one of the main reasons I emcee today. I've known him since my sophomore year of high school, so he has seen just about every phase I've gone through. We went skating almost every weekend my senior year, which I think that was a turning point for me, because all we'd listen to was hip-hop on the drives to each spot. At the time, I was still mostly listening to punk, so I was exposed to a lot of dope music from this guy.

Now, about 41PM...they are probably the most unique hip-hop duo I have ever listened to. Marked Fair is really fresh on the production side, and Save is still one of the best writers I know. Raw hip-hop in full effect. I dig it, but you can decide for yourself. This is their first music video for their new song, "Enter."

INFINITY RAP BARS

If you have ever seen Speak perform, you know it is one of the most entertaining hip-hop shows this side of the Mississippi. He's been a prominent figure in the IE hip-hop scene for a long time and I have nothing but respect for the guy. Word is he has a new EP dropping at the end of this month, and since his music never disappoints, this is guaranteed to be bananas! Until the drop of his EP, check out this video Erok of Ek5obition just released of Speak's new track, "Infinity Rap Bars." Oh, I recommend you follow Speak on Twitter too. He's hilarious!

THE NEXUS PROJECT

Ronnie Fieg has recently teamed up Sebago and an impressive team of bloggers to release a fresh footwear collection dropping this summer called the Nexus Project. What makes this project special is that each participant traveled to the Dominican Republic to work side-by-side with Sebago craftsmen, designing each shoe by hand.

Ronnie Fieg is one someone I greatly admire for his work in footwear design and his work ethic in general. There aren't many people with a catalog as impressive as Fieg's. It's like he never stops working! Once one project drops, another is announced. He proves that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. I hope I can meet up with him when I'm in New York next month. We'll see!

ETRNLST 2010

It has definitely been a long time coming, but I am proud to announce the release of my first run of shirts with ETRNLST. Watching this project grow from an idea to what it has become today has been a new and humbling experience. I understand there are many obstacles lying ahead, but I'm excited and ready to keep pushing.

The OG logo tee's will be available starting this Saturday at Daily Duels 6 at The Bakery in Pomona. Shirts are $15 and they come in men and women sizes. Size and color quantities are limited. If you are interested in picking up a shirt, send me an email with the size and color you want, and we'll go from there.
