43 Magazine

-----
My friend Allen Ying has been hard at work on a new magazine project for a while now. Last year I was loosely involved in the project, and I'm really excited that it's finally launching. He needs everyone's support to get it moving, so go over to his kickstarter site and help out!!!

I'll Tumble 4 Ya

-----
I have a TUMBLR account now. It's called SPACE AGENCY like the name of the studio that I started with my pal DUSTIN ORTIZ. I'm pretty sure I'll be updating it way more than this account here. Check it out and follow me if you please. The plan is to put lots of fun little things and original photos, inspiration, moon stuff, funny dog videos, graphical designage, art of those who painted, fun things, other stuff, and some more things that I decide. ALL ORIGINAL, not reblogged like everything else on tumblr. Well, maybe some day I'll reblog something, but not now!

Titus

-----
Titus in Germany did a review of this season's Super collection. I don't really understand it, but I'm hyped for the Super guys. Go check out their stuff and get one of the shirts I designed for them.

The Connect

-----
I designed a cruiser board for Goldcoast. Mellow tail and some medium sized soft wheels on it. Good to cruise around on but you can still do a kickflip on it. It's available all over the place now. Should be fun to ride, so I suggest you get one! Available at:

Dogfunk.com

Tactics.com

Color Magazine 8.5

-----
I am too busy to blog lately, which I guess is a good thing. So many projects going on at once. In fact, I forgot to post this project and I'm pretty sure the magazine isn't on newsstands anymore. I think it is 2 issues old by now. Anyways, if you can find an issue of Color Magazine 8.5, buy one! I was the guest typographer and it was a lot of fun. Thanks to Sandro at Color for letting me work on the mag!

Westgate

-----
I could watch this a thousand times.

éS

-----
This just in! Rodrigo TX is all over the internet wearing one of the new éS tee shirts I designed for the Spring '11 line. Check the éS site to read an interview with Rodrigo and Tyrone from LRG talking about a collab shoe they did with éS.

Also, check the tee section of the apparel line for the other tees I did. Some pictures below.

New York Magazine Love

-----
The board graphic that I did for Organika just popped up in New York Magazine, which just so happens to be one of my favorite publications. If you have a chance, get to the store and buy this week's edition!

This Is It...Don't Get Scared Now.

-----
In John Hughes' important American classic Home Alone (1990), there is a climactic scene in which Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister stands with his back against the kitchen wall, a b.b. gun clutched to his chest. He says to himself "This is it, don't get scared now," and then kneels and shoots Harry (Joe Pesci) in the crotch through the doggy door.

THIS IS IT, DON'T GET SCARED NOW presents a still from this scene, pixelated and blown-up into a 13' x 10' mural painted by Brooklyn based artist Morgan Blair.

Come welcome Pixel-Macaulay into his new Bushwick home (alone).
