'Tweet or Twitter..'

I'm busy playing with feathers for a new Bird edition.. it's a lengthy process, out takes of which can also be seen here.. 

'100% Superfly'

I'd forgotten what fun it was playing around with bold colour options early last year on another of Stussy's markerpen'esque scribbly archive logo's .. until I saw them online today.

Today at the studio..

'Weller' halftones..

The epitome of cool, Paul Weller & The Jam littered the late seventies and early eighties with many iconic images.  When asked to turn these paragons of music and style in to silkscreened images, I wondered if I may be doing them an injustice.  But on testing the newly made screens I reckon the silkscreened graphic halftone adds on another couple of cool points.. not that they needed any more.

'Online Stussy Look-Book'

My most recent antics with Art Director Adam Weissman resulted in an online Look-Book.  Stussy & Nike teamed up to release their 'S&S' Collection (that's Snow & Street to the less street of us) and commissioned a few silkscreens from me to help peruse their wares.  I hadn't envisaged the problematical nature of creating a strong image when the majority of its content was white.  Making monotone tests of various photographs allowed us to pick out the stronger ones and ditch a few along the way.  A moment of panic saw me tear up a couple of similar prints neither of with were working and swap their respective sections.  The resulting collage (shown above) I felt became my strongest piece.
