Definitely something the kids will love. The Chuck Taylor All Star Rubber are scheduled to release this fall 09'.

To be honest I have never really been a fan of Jordans but for some reason these got my attention. Clean, simple executed well.

Having already dropped a slew of colorways, the Jordan camp shows no signs of stopping as 2009 will featured more renditions of the iconic Nike Air Jordan 1 than ever before. This latest mock up actually challenges the classic Nike Air Jordan VII Hare, borrowing its colorway and mix of materials for a full blown transfer onto a new platform. Along with the vibrant print colored tongue, the kicks feature an Air Bunny logo as well as “HARE” detailing on the tongue and heel. A release is scheduled for April 11th, 2009 with a price tag of $110 USD. In 1991, Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan VII (7) - Hare and in 2008 they brought back the sought after style for the Air Jordan 7/16 Countdown Pack. With Easter right around the corner, another Hare themed Air Jordan will be releasing, but it is not the Air Jordan VII, instead it is the Air Jordan I (1) Retro. The sneakers are outfitted with a colorway consisting of white, light graphite and true red. Aside from the colorway both models share, this pair of Nike Air Jordan I also sports an Air Jordan VII design on the tongue with a silhouette of Bugs Bunny and Hare written under him.

Sesame Street- New Balance 574

In it's 3rd installment they bring out Grover, Ernie and Abby Caddaby. Personally my boys love them. Usually as soon as my 2yr old walks in the house first thing off are his shoes, but for some reason his " The Count " Sesame Street New Balances never do.

There's one in all of us.

"Where the Wild Things Are"-Movie Trailer

I remember reading this book in school eh about ( I wont say how many years ago for fear of feeling old), one would always imagine it playing out in there head. I hope Spike Jonze does the book justice. It is and will be a timeless book.

Maurice Sendak’s classic book comes to the big screen in an adventure tale for every generation. “Where the Wild Things Are” follows the adventure of Max (Max Records), a mischievous young boy who is sent to his room after rebelling against his mother (Catherine Keener). Max’s imagination is free to roam, and it soon transports him to a thriving forest bordering a vast sea. Delighted, he sets sail for the land of the Wild Things, where mischief reigns and Max rules. In bringing this imaginative fantasy to life, Jonze leads a team of filmmakers incorporating the most dynamic elements of voice performance, live-action puppetry and computer animation

1st and 2nd pic's are of a tee that I just added to my Summer 09' drop. It will be available in 5 different shirt colorways, both for boys and girls. I will also be adding a new design or 2 for girls. See how it goes. Pic 3 is a quick sketch. Not sure where it's going but it might end up on a shirt/sweater?

It all starts with a sketch. I draw and draw and draw until my kids approve.

It all starts with a sketch.

I am currently shopping my t-shirt line around. Sending out line sheets, e-mailing buyers. All the good stuff that comes along when it is solely 100% on oneself. The late hours, sketching, re-drawing on illustrator, finalizing the designs. It is indeed a long process but at the end of the day, I think it is all well worth it.
