WHERE’S MY YELLOW

A good friend once commented to me, after viewing an Ann Demeulemeester collection, “where’s my yellow?” It’s a fantastic quote and has continued to stick in my mind. All black or all grey is great (I mostly wear just that) but it can get monotonous (pun intended?) Whether it’s muted, neon, goldenrod, ochre, whatever… working yellow into your outfit is fantastic.

CLOUDS

If you couldn’t tell yet, I’m quite obsessed with images of clouds, well really just clouds in general. The shapes, the textures, the way light is blocked or let through, really anything to do with them. I found this awesome Damir Doma jacket a few years ago, and fell in love. I’m glad I didn’t buy it because well it’d end up not getting worn that much but it sure is cool.

THAT HAT

I have quite the affinity for women whose flowing hair cascades out of a wonderful hat. Top image is from Le 21eme, second image is a charcoal drawing I did a while ago, and the rest are random tumblr finds. I also must add the tonality and texture to many of these photos is amazing.

BRO CYCLING TEAM

Shred Club is the name, shredding is the game. Sizemore Bicycle let me in on his lil secret, starting a team this year with emphasis on fun. We will be racing; we will be competitive (got to win getting the most air on the cross course!) It’s also an outlet for Taylor and myself to come together on a project that pushes both of us in terms of design. I am inexperienced at graphic design to say the least, but I found this beautiful image below that Jeremy Dunn took for John Watson at the Tour of California in 2012.

This dude looks like he is straight out of the 70′s. I couldn’t believe it: the type is so perfect, everything really in this photo is perfection. Instantly, I thought “Bro Cycling Team” has to be done. Created a lil hunting target style emblem up front and you have the first shirt for Shred Club. We will be doing more products by partnering with some of our sponsors and can’t wait to share them with you. Pick up one of these shirts HERE quick because you know they will go FAST!

ALPAGE RECORDS – TUNES TUESDAY

I stumbled across Alpage Records and Tamara Goukassova whilst viewing work from my favorite digital artists, Julien Pacaud. This also counts as your tunes tuesday.

His work is a collage of vintage photos, space, and geometry into images that are captivating and weird (my kind of guy!) He did the album artwork for Tamara’s last 7″ limited edition vinyl as you can see in the video. I love the clear vinyl and the hand stamping they did. Below is another video from Alpage Records for artist Antoine Pesle that caught my eye. I like this record label; they are weird.

THE COMMON THREAD

I love it when the various things I am into (fashion, cycling, music, skating, whatever) come together in beautiful ways like this Céline coat and the Rapha – Focus cycling kits. Match made in pastel Neapolitan heaven. The fashion snaps were shot Adam Sinding of Le 21éme, and you can see more from Rapha – Focus here. What’s most ironic about this common thread, it was Adam who introduced me to Rapha way back in the day. I was still riding around on my Trek T1 trackbike. Oh how the world intertwines its webs.

MONDAY INSPIRATION MIX

Been collecting all sorts of photos for inspiration lately.

I am really into dark blue walls right now. Been seriously contemplating painting my apartment this way. Make color pop, and is more comforting than black. Also allows for more color options.
