Wu, Fracap, and the Story of Highwater Books

26 August 2010, 23.09 | Posted in art, brands, design, music | No comments »

Timeless graphic design from Blue Note Records applied to the Wu. Great selections and art direction.

Someone hire this dude already (much respect).



My favorite Method Man recording!



Surprised that this is the weakest design.

Next up in the fashion files…..

No disrespect to workwear boots, but it’s just not for me. I rarely participate in the building trades and the shits look Herman Munster. However, I do dedicate a good chunk of time in the woods to hike and fish as often as life allows. That’s why I was glad to receive a new pair of Fracaps from our homies in Lecce, Italy. Grazie! These are going to be a staple of my wardrobe alongside the Clae Strayhorns (thanks Matt & Sung) I picked up at Capsule in vegas.

You can buy here.


Also, Marc Bell(Drawn and Quartely) just finished the poster for our upcoming October show
The Right Thing The Wrong Way
The Story of Highwater Books

Included will be various works by the core artists involved in the development of Highwater Books (Brain Ralph, Megan Kelso, Ron Rege, Jordan Crane, Greg Cook, Jef Czekaj, Marc Bell, Kurt Wolfgang), some of the work wil be new some will be originals pages from their published work. Though not all of these artists were published by Highwater, they all worked with/for the company in one way or another and since a large of part of Highwater was it’s status as a kind of comics “gang” it is important that the people that appear in the show were integral in that. Along with the original work there will be an installation that exhibits the ephemera/history of the company to give the art and artists context as well as a catalog that will give an oral history of the company.

Diggers with Gratitude……

I just designed the flyer for my homey DJ Kon’s fundraiser(and i’m also playing it)

In case you didn’t know already, every Boston DJ’s favorite DJ has been in and out of the hospital and unable to play his gigs for the last few weeks. Since Kon DJs for a living NO GIGS = NO INCOME!! A few of us have already donated money from gigs to
Kon, but now it’s time for everyone to step up for a great DJ and an even better friend…

$10 SUGGESTED DONATION

EVERY PENNY GOES TO KON + you get to hear Kon
inspired music from Amir, Supreme One, 7L, Ms Thang, Gucci Vuiton & Soul Clap!!!

If you cannot attend or want to donate more money you can send via paypal to djmsthang@gmail.com
