East coast heavy-hitter magazine Focus recently teamed up with Real Sakeboards to produce a four year celebration colab board.

I always walk through Rittenhouse Park in Philly and there is an awesome statue of a lion fighting a snake... but the snake is super small compared to the lion, so I thought I'd breakout the watercolors and even the score a bit for the snake.

I recently stopped the Time Machine in 1983 for a couple of rainy nights and got inspired to create And it rained all night for the artsy-tee group at Design by Humans. Swing on by and give it a vote and a nice comment right here! Thanks!

After countless sleepless nights and design modifications, Captain Francis J. Featherbottom took his first and only flight aboard his aptly named Octoplane. Unfortunately mid-flight, he quickly determined the Octoplane was a complete and utter failure. Prayers were instantly issued, but to no avail. You can click right here to give Please Don't Crash a vote and comment over at Threadless if you like... my sincerest condolences to the entire Featherbottom family.

 

Pretty excited here at the 1948 Time Machine... as the new REAL Skateboards catalog just came out featiuring the ICED boards I recently designed. REAL always holds it down, and I was happy to have a hand in designing their Fall 08 line-up. Jim was even nice enough to put some footage of mine up! You can click through their online interactive catalog right here. So get down to your local skate shop and make sure they've got it in, or click here to order one now!

It took 2,148 pieces of shattered stained glass, a crew of 12 stout men, and 45 days working 'round the clock to complete this Raise Thy Hands Up tee graphic for Exact Science. Fortunatly it's much easier for you to get one.. just click over to 80's purple or the giant peach. Yeah!

I really hate syrup. The smell of it is just awful. Coming in contact with just one drop will make your entire body smell of sticky fake-maple for at least three days. My theory is that it gets in your circulatory system and comes out of your pores, but what do I know, I'm no Dr. Zaius. Pick up a Planet of the Crepes tee right here. Dr. Zaius approved!

SEXY ZEBRA. That's all I'm gunna say.... SEXY ZEBRA.

In 1903, an incubator for premature babies was displayed with live babies at Coney Island dubbed "the baby hatchery". Every baby in the exhibit happily wore one of these Coney Island tees I designed for the sugar addicts at Totstops children's clothing. Check out the sugar high video and swoop up a Coney Island Tee for your little monster right here!

 

Through some in-depth research, I found that the first boombox was created in London circa 1884. Composed entirely of wrought iron and candles, this rare gem was forgotten over the course of time, only to coincidentally be reinvented and popularized 100 years later. This is my tribute to that first boombox, lovingly made for the musicaly minded crew at Exact Science. You can swoop one up from workmens, 80's purple or the giant peach.

 

Lapsed and nonnon are two perpetually creative musicians and all-around amazing people. They gave me the opportunity to create visuals for their newest album 'The Death of Convenience' from Adnoiseam. Honestly there was no way I could pass up a project involving jeweled fronts. Check out their myspace and buy their album right here. Go!
