 02.12.2009   +++   Jason Mraz Rock The Vote Limited Edition President’s Day Tee

This was part design, part development, all for a good cause. Mraz is a good friend and long standing merchandise development / consulting client of ours, and Rock The Vote is a new friend of ours through the Beasties posters we did for the Get Out And Vote tour and the Inauguration Show. We put the two together to help raise a bit of money for Rock The Vote’s continuing efforts, and give the Mraz fans who are also Obama supporters a way to represent.

We designed this paying homage the hand sketch illustrations by David Shrigley used in the current Mraz album packaging for “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.” This is a limited edition tee that should sell out pretty quick so if you want one, be sure to go HERE quick to pick it up!

 04.28.2008   +++   Foo Fighters Custom Striped Hoodie

This was just a fun project that started with Shifty wondering if we should do something a little custom back before ESP&G came out. Part development and part design, we built this from scratch and walked it all the way through production. It’s been in development for a little while, dialing in all the little extras, but it’s finally available! We love it.. the CAD here doesn’t really do it justice, but once we get a real sample picture we’ll post that. the details, banding and weight are key…

Buy it now on the Foos Online Store while supplies last.. or grab it at Wembley, or the upcoming US dates in July.

 04.28.2008   +++   Foo Fighters / Johnson Motors Collab is available!

Another great collab with the Foos.. this time with our friends over at Johnson Motors. This one came out of a mutual respect and admiration really - it was sort of one of those “perfect fits” you always hope for. The tees turned out amazing.. and this is just the beginning.

The process here was rather organic. Worked with the band on the look they wanted to capture, coordinated the art direction with Johnson Motors, and then went back and forth for awhile in the revision and approval process.

There’s a new set of tees, an INSANE old school canvas jacket, and a limited edition Wembley tee coming soon. Thanks to Sean over at Johnson Motors for the great vintage design work, and the entire team over at JM for dealing with our crazy delivery deadlines.

You can order these tees right now from the Foo Fighters Online Store while supplies last!

 03.25.2008   +++   Foo Fighters vs. Billabong Boardshort

Back in ‘07 we worked with our long-time clients the Foo Fighters and new friends at Billabong to create on of the first Signature Series Co-Op Boardshorts. RHCP did one at the same time, and both were so successful it’s launched an entirely new series for Billabong with shorts with Wolfmother and Metalica being released recently.

Foo Fighters / Billabong Boardshirt Final Product

We worked hand-in-hand with the Foos and Billabong to put together the deal, develop the initial design sketches, direct the Billabong designers, walk the short through production, and oversee all aspects of the marketing campaign.

Big thanks to Graham Stableberg and Rob McCarty over at Billabong for helping make this happen, and the Foos for trusting us with the project. This was a blast!
