Dragon Ball X KINTOU

I know its been a while since the last time I posted but I made a few Dragon Ball designs to get printed for my personal collection. I'm doing most of this through Zazzle.com but I might try and find a site that silk screens. Zazzle prints on cloths but they haven't let me down yet. I think so far they look pretty neat. Sucks I can't sell this loot to the public due to copyright issues but at least I can wear it myself. I'm kind of a Dragon Ball fan if you didn't know *wink* *wink*(this is when I give you the link to my DBZ blog: Kintou)  

For though, I really wanted to vent my frustration about the clothing line Billionaire Boys Club and their recent announcement of a Dragon Ball shirt collection (plz click the link). Yo! I have never liked BBC. Like, since they got on the scene I thought their stuff was dated and their designs were simple sketches traced in Adobe Illustrator without using the advance setting. Not to say they don't have a few dope pieces here and there. I found a decent look black crew neck sweatshirt at the thrift from them. But come on! This lukeware shit is what they come out with. You find some crispy looking DBZ shirt from a con or eBay for a much cheaper price then what their going to drop it for. Cuz really! Their going to tax the hell out of it for name sake alone. But I digress...

I've been trying to get more creative recently. Idk. I use to do more design work for fun when I was making $8.50 an hour as a temp for a chemical company. But now, my just fighting for time just to get some sleep. I know my wife feels the same way. Hopefully I'll have something else posted soon.

10.Deep - Incite S/S Buttondown

Short sleeve cotton twill button down photo printed graphic.

Hmm. Not bad 10 Deep. Can't really say much about it. Dope little gray scale all over print. I like. Can't cope for 90 bucks though. 

Iman OmariI - High-Loops & Higher-Loops

Some good medicine for those heart palpitations of yours. Iman OmariI's High-Loops & Higher-Loops (which is a combination of two EPs) is retailing at 11 bucks. Not bad, right? Its like a deal or something.

Puma - Ignite Select Kurim

I really want these Puma Ignite Select Kurim shoes. Don't really have anything else to say, these shoes look so damn good.

Hyplandshop - Serpent Coach Jacket

Hyplandshop has some clean ass jackets on their  online store. Well, had for the most part. Most of them are out of stock and for good reason. But these nylon Serpent Coach Jacket have a very pleasant look about them. With the Japanese ukiyo-e style snake illustration paralleled with the black and white American flag patch. They just look so right. Priced at $60 bucks, they seems well worth it.

SSUR Rebel Ape Bust (Glow-In-Dark Edition)

SSUR released this very splendid glow in the dark Rebel Ape vinyl bust. From what I saw online, it stands at about 12 inches, which is kinda sad. Considering that earlier editions which rocked either a cool army green, black, or pink color scheme stood at about 14 inches at the same price of $145-175. So, dose shaving off about 2 inches compensate for the whole glow in the dark thing? I don't know.

Last Days

Its been fun, but its time for me to move out. Staying with my family was pretty economically stable. Plus, they kind of love me and stuff. But with me and my girlfriend ready to take the next leap forward while trying our hand at being online entrepreneurs. A floor bed surrounded by posters doesn't really scream adult. 

I think I've been looking for a new place to live for about a year and a half now. Haven't really found too many places that are as classy as I am.

Sanyo M1120 X AMDISCS Cassettes

About two months ago, I bought this dope little Sanyo M1120 walkman on eBay. I paid out about $35 bucks, so that was cool. I re-read the item's description about 10 times though. Had to make sure they weren't giving me okey doke. A lot of eBay sellers do pretty well selling broken vintage walkman(s) just for the parts. But sometimes their kinda cryptic about. I just didn't want to be that sucker who thinks their getting a deal but their not.

I also bought a few cassettes from AMDISCS, a record based in Europe... s..some where. But they have a neat selection of music the choose from. Future funk to abstract trap beats. You can't really lose. Well, unless they forget to ship your order 3 times in the span of 3.5 months! Really! Like really! But I got the loot and I'm pretty understanding to the situation... I guess.

Purchased Items:

• スーパーセックス永遠にSUPERSEX420 x TENDENCIES – SPLIT EP
• CYBEREALITYライフ - King of the Streets EP
• Architecture In Tokyo - Architecture In Tokyo

Check out their site. They have a free downloads you can part take of. If you want to that is.

The Gaslamp Killer - Breakthrough

I bought this Gaslamp Killer's album Breakthrough LP two months ago and I kinda just put it away without even giving it a listen. Its not bad.

Wet Store JP - AKIRA Bomber

After scrolling through a slew of animal related videos that my girlfriend tagged me in on facebook. I ran across this amazing preview shot from Wet Store JP. An eye popping red MA-1 flight bomber jacket with Wet Store's current logo on the back. Hot damn! I'm patiently waiting for this shit to drop. 

For the past year, Wet Store JP really seemed to be pulling inspiration from the anime Akira like a mother fucker, and its not really a bad thing. Some independent clothing brands will simply pull elements from a certain medium. Copy and past this, copy and past that. And subsequently, their collections give off a very sophomoric and unoriginal vibe that most people ignore like a starving vagrant. But Wet Store JP on the other hand, they are creating a narrative for they'er cloths. Expanding on an element from Akria, and creating a motif around it. Or something...
