I swear I can explain....

Basically, I just drew an enormous phallic image on a hat, and colored it in. TO be honest, it's not even really suggestive of a penis, more less, it is a penis. A penis riding a skateboard to be exact, and here's why. As much as I thought our customer base would love giant private parts adorning their outwear (especially their ill-fitting trucker-hats), there's an actual rationale for my actions. In the acting company I'm involved with at my school we (the juniors) do a tribute show the seniors every year. It's an original play in which we all play one of the seniors as a character. The guy I'm portraying is more or less crazy, and let's just say that a penis riding a skateboard, for him, will be like Christmas morning....maybe he's not that weird, but none the less I'm doing this as a tribute to him and as a parting gift. I hope it doesn't get in trouble with Policeman with sexual insecurities (I can only assume there are many of them).



While this is far from my most accurate or artistically sound design, I think the 90s style layout and coloring makes for a crazy-looking unique hat.

When I get more time on my hands I'll be sure to take some nice, lit shots where the color isn't faded and where more detail (you know you want it) is visible.

Fitted Hawaii “Ali’i Kamehameha” New Era Cap & Tee

One of my favorite stores (that I've never actually been to) is Fitted in Honolulu. It is a custom hat and T-shirt shop that as of late, has been coming out with more and more stuff from their own brand that reflects their neat Hawaiian culture. Personally I could really care less about all the stories and tales that relate to their products, but the bottom line is: they make some cool shit.

This Saturday (5/30) they are dropping one of their signature Kamehameha New Eras, that in proper Fitted fashion will be extremely limited. They will also be dropping a matching shirt to go with it. Check out their full post here

My Favorite God-Damned Band

Alright, so I will let it be known that hands down my favorite artist alongside maybe a few other bands and artists is Modest Mouse. This is a very much a Hip-Hop and street wear oriented blog, so I know this is like trying to dress Jay-Z up as a vagrant hippie, but I feel it is my duty. Below is the crazy, mind contorting music video to one of their great new singles, "Satellite Skin." Enjoy (if you can).

Could it be?

Along with the launch of our official domain name for the (hopefully not too distant future) webethe111.com comes the decision for a final, official-like version of a logo for our business endeavors. Most of the efforts posted on here have been me (B.S.) idly scribbling away in the late hours of the night, but me and L.G. sat down today together for a marathon session of tweaking the logo. Below is the final result. We're still sitting on it and are gonna give it some deep (oh it can get deep) thought and hopefully have simple, clean looking logo shirts before school gets out. As always, feedback is our friend, we love to hear what people have to say.

Here's a little trinket of a logo I fiddled with right before I made this post live. I think it'll be a great design to get on the back-neckline area of an official tee, but what do I know?

Small Emblem Fun in the (Sun, Rain, Shine, Clouds etc.)

Here are some smaller symbol-like mini icons and logos I've been messing with. These would be great for inside tags, sleeves or even just simple stickers and wallets and SHIYAAAATTTTT. Simple, but explosive, here they come a rumblin'.

I call this the 'Sprite' inspired:
