"Let it burn"

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:23:00 -0800

I just got the word that a back has been stabbed. I dont know anyone who likes getting stabbed in the back. Especially when sweat, tears and a lot of hard work go into it. An artist involved with the EVOLUTION project, who’s name doesn’t deserve to be brought up has turned on its own and started stabbing.

Heres just one of many screen shots that the genius decided to post on facebook.

Im sure Usher will be excited about hiring unprofessional artists who cant keep a secret.

Look familiar?

Its been a while since we’ve been up and running thanks to AT%T but heres a brief run through.

New Surroundings.

Southern Brother Distributors new website is up and running. Holding a good group of company’s along with being the only distributor in the states for the booming New Zealand based brand LO.WER.

I took a look in my box the other day to find a randomly stuffed post office priority mail bag crushed in with the usual Time Warner Cable internet bill.

Owner of Clothesline Clothing and Gallery, along with good friend Austin, sent me over some of his newly printed tees. Newly printed QUALITY tees…

I remember going to Austin’s studio every so often to check out his new work, put one in the air, and chat about what’s really going on. With his involvement in screens, ink and cloth getting higher in the time I would visit, I quickly noticed how he along with his community of artist are on their way to what they’ve carved for their future.

Give the local community the support it deserves, stop by Clothesline for a new tee, one of their many events, or just to say Hi to Austin. Also check the Clothesline Online Store for news and limited online tee’s.

Work Hard / Play Hard.

“Although this looks like a still from a Hollywood disaster movie, it is much scarier. This is really happening. It is a sobering reminder that, despite our best efforts, Nature still trumps Man”.
