It is my pleasure to feature MoMO’s artwork in our Blog. Momo and I have been friends for five years now and he has finally decided to let the world see the art he has to offer. Take a look at this New York City based artist stuff and hang out with him if you have the chance. Won’t regret it.
We recently designed a limited edition vintage looking set of posters featuring Santamonica’s t-shirts art that, a priori, will be inserted in every t-shirt package purchased online.
Let’s just be honest. This project’s been a lot of fun.
Here’s the second layout for Metrodance Records.
So we were asked by Metrodance Records to work on some layouts for the release of a series of vinyl records they are thinking of producing. The idea is to compile the best live performances at the club throughout 2009 and release a record of them every three months.
Fried-Onions is a multidisciplinary studio in Berlin co-founded by our friend James Cox with whom we’ve collaborated in the past both in the design and the laughter field. James, who has been working both in Barcelona and London has now settled in Berlin. He recently invited us, along with many other designers and artists, to collaborate with some pieces for and Advent Calendar they are putting together for this year.
Check out their stuff, www.fried-onions.com, they are really amazing. Incredible animation flash/video stuff and much more. We really hope we can visit them soon. I have had the chance to visit Berlin several times before as it is one of the most incredible, dynamic and art-advanced cities in Europe, and now we really have a good excuse to drop by yet again.
Here’s our contribution to the Fried-Onions Advent Calendar.
If you happen to be in Boston, don’t miss this chance. Melou will be playing on December 19th at the Kings Lounge Bar.
We want to wish the best for Cocoro and our dear friend Yuko Mizuno who just opened up her own salon in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Yuko has been dreaming of this beautiful project for a long time now. She has always wanted to have her own space to work her magic on people’s hair and we have always been expectant for that moment to arrive and to be able to contribute with our part. We started creating the logo for Cocoro (which means “heart” in Japanese) as soon as she told us she was seriously considering this name for her new salon. A name we loved from the beginning and that really inspired us throughout the project.
We have had the privilege to work with AC Berkheiser from the Northsea Division who has taken care of the production in this project. The website is currently being developed by MacchioneInk and we hope that soon it will be up and running so you all can visit Yuko at Cocoro both virtually and physically.
It’s 12:30 am, Wednesday, November 5th, 2008. I have been deeply moved by the most beautiful speech I’ve ever heard from a US president or any president at all. Barack Obama has just spoken to the US and to the world in an unprecedented manner in this country. Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, right now as I type this, is a huge celebration. AC and me, and our temporary little friend Winston, representing in our small and humble way the US, Europe and the canine world want to share this beautiful and intense moment with everyone, but especially, send our most supportive vibes to Barack Obama.
YES, OBAMA, YES!
Right in front of our house, in Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, we watched on Sunday, Nov. 2nd, these brave, inspiring and humbling people of all ages, skin colors, political and religious beliefs, run, walk, march and ride under the same common denominator. More than 40,000 people sharing unconditionally their passion for sport, for participating. Here’s a little sample of participants from all over the world that went by our door and our camera during the impressive 2008 New York City Marathon.
