RALPH TONY MONTANA LAUREN

RALPH LAUREN FLORAL POLO


Big props to Levi in exposing me to the danger of this garment. Make sure you can handle the swag levels & a lil' mockery 





LEATHER TROUSERS & DENIM NIKE

NIKE BLAZER SELVEDGE DENIM



OK. The gold stitching detail around the swoosh and selvedge denim upper gives this shoe some next level swag.

BE STUPID

Diesel have been known as being pretty controversial under Renzo Rosso. Especially after their famous 'For Successful Living' advertising campaign but they've also managed to maintain their core identity of their brand despite ventures into sub brands of luxury brand ware like StyleLab.
But I think the brand have taken a more bombastic (haha) approach with "Be Stupid" than some of the previous campaigns.

The only downfall I can see is that we're force fed stupidity through media outlets on a daily basis. Is there a chance the campaign will fall into the abyss of stupid tag-lines or will we understand and conform to the intended message?

Nicely eye catching from Anomaly. Who will all be fucking minted as they just picked up the Sony account from Fallon.

INGLOURIOUS BASTARDS FOR HAITI

After all the shit that went down in Haiti last year a creative team as assembled with the following artists. David Choe, Sam Flores, Estevan Oriol, Grotesk, Jeremy Fish, Patrick Martinez, Alex Pardee, Dora Drimalas, Munk One, N8 Van Dyke, Rene Alamanza, Morning Breath and Skinner Davis, to create their own poster art based off their interpretation of the Oscar Nominated film, “Inglourious Basterds” artwork.

Basically every artists included in that list is amazing. I've posted about Morning Breath and Grotesk before. Hard to pick two of my favourites but I had to go for Morning Breath and David Choe. 


All the work was then sold in limited edition at $300 in a gallery in Los Angeles with all proceeds going towards aid in Haiti. Fresh.

McDONALDS CAMPAIGN

This is Karen Caldicott's new McDonald's campaign, with some background images on the process
The campaign is by DDB Vienna for McCafé and centres around the idea of how you might feel if you don't get your morning coffee.
I Like the direction they've taken but at the same time seems a little anti McDonalds..


AMANDA BLAKE ALBUM ARTWORK

BIG fan of the art directors Morning Breath on this album art design. 




$15.00 
The designers from the Brooklyn-based design firm Morning Breath, have quickly expanded beyond their Think skateboards start to becoming two of the finest graphic designers working today.
 Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto combine found objects and pop-culture throwaways, old print advertisements, 1950s and 60s pop-culture images, graffiti writing, pin-up girls and good old-fashioned graphic arts techniques to create their layered canvases. This is the duo’s first book; it provides good insight into their many personal and commercial art projects, as well as their collaborations with Upper Playground and FIFTY24SF.

MORE DISCO FLYER DRAFTS..

Another quick draft...

SAN


SAN basically got me interested in real intricate muted coloured illustration. 
I love that real organic shit but still maintaing the street influence.
He's one of those artists that you never appreciate fully into you see his work in the flesh, so much hidden detail. Occasionally he has work in Brighton near Toast near the station at the lil' gallery place.


THERE'S SO MUCH WORK THAT'S WORTH SEEING, CHECK OUT HIS WEBSITE ESEAENE.COM.
DON'T MISS THE HANDSTYLES! ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME
