His vision and attention to detail made the book in a class of its own. Thanks again Adrian!

Functional timeless pieces.



Clothing line of the day! Swagger Co. Lets jump ten years forward, breeding style daily..Swagger Co. Japan. Remember our steez comes from overseas.  Japanese streetwear label Swagger have uploaded their latest lookbook for their 2009 Fall/Winter Collection entitled “TOKYO is YOURS”. The range is obviously inspired by Tokyo streetwear, which itself actually incorporates a lot of western styles (spot the Coca Cola branded items). The styling is both eclectic and audacious – a refreshing look at what can be done with Fall/Winter apparel.

Full Circle.

Its been almost a year since we dropped the clothing line, and the design has come in full circle. Its time for a new change and a new direction. This is our lifestyle and we want to bring it to the table and serve you up some of our life on a platter. Our roots stem from graffiti and eventually branched out into tattooing and bike building . Now its clothing for the people that support the art that we cherish and respect. The spring/summer 2010 line of shirts is going to jumpstart our company and show and prove the illustration, design and photography skills we have under our belts. all day everyday..Peace and Blessings. 


Thanks for the on going support from our friends/family..take one step at a time, more to come. watch out.

The midway cap.

Hat of the day! Two weeks ago, we traveled down south to visit the homies at 5&Adime, they revealed the midway cap. Here is the insight on this piece. The design is inspired by the U.S.S. Midway, a US Naval aircraft carrier that was stationed in Yokosuka Japan for 17 years and subsequently returned to the San Diego Bay for decommissioning. A tribute to the US Naval Carrier, only 72 pieces were made in the US with 3 different colorways. Don't judge its appearance as a ordinary cap, small details including the japanese sun under the brim..genius! 


5&ADime hooked up with 7Union to make this remarkable hat.

Shop of the day! Purist Boutique. Lets travel to a place not to far from us. Where city life is vibrant,  the homeless dwell, pigeons flock from the first sight of food and parking definitely sucks..also known as downtown san jose.
