The LA release of FULL BLEED: New York City Skateboard Photography was happening on Saturday night at Dave Young's 6th St Warehouse. Vice Books threw the event and the kids arrived by the  boatload. Here's a little bit of the action below.

The Philly Phella, video dude, announcer extraordinaire and nice guy Vern Laird with Mike T.

Jeffrey Deitch, the new director at MOCA. That makes this show mad legit right?

The one and only Scotty Hundreds. Did he go Rhino hunting after this? Quite possibly.

Lee Quinones on the west coast. Something might me brewing.

Bum scum helps you go fast.

My studio, Studio Number One designed the credits and I made the painting for the poster for the Basquiat documentary film by Tamra Davis THE RADIANT CHILD. The film is excellent, great interviews, art images, and music. I think this is the definitive Basquiat doc. It is playing at the NUART in LA and wider distribution depends on the LA attendance. Please support.

OBEY has teamed up with The Surfrider Foundation for our newest OBEY Awareness project. Shepard created the Jaws wave fine art piece for the 25th Anniversary of Surfrider. In order to contribute more support we decided to create a shirt out of the design. 100% of the profits will be donated to The Surfrider Foundation to help protect our oceans.

Our UK confidante will be hosting his annual OBEY sample sale next week in London's Old Truman Brewery located in the Brick Lane district. If you happen to be anywhere near, pop on in and swoop some of  Simon's pre season stash....

This past weekend held one of the more extravagant festivals known to music and we were able to experience the brilliance. Outside Lands Music Festival, held within San Francisco’s majestically beautiful Golden Gate Park displayed an array of phenomenal music and delectable food from all around the Bay. This year’s line up demonstrated a variety of musical talents; including The Strokes, Damien Marley & Nas, Cat Power, Social Distortion, Phoenix, Al Green, and The Grateful Dead’s spinoff band Further just to name a few. It was a bit smaller then past years with only four stages, as opposed to six or seven.

The twenty-minute walk back to the city from Polo Field to our car was very soothing. The cool SF air grazing our checks while we strolled through the park was amazing.

There is definitely something magical about being surrounded by nature and trees while listening to some of my favorite music. It’s as if the festival was held in a small section of a forest and there is no contact to the outside world.

The crowd itself was not overbearingly huge, but the people that we had the pleasure of encountering were completely fascinating.

The large rusted metal flower sculptures that sat in the in the fields were mind-blowingly beautiful.

Outside Lands was the perfect mix of great food and amazing music. They did a fantastic job of incorporating very well known bands with some very unlikely artists. See ya again next year!!!

Yesterday we took a 9 mile roundtrip trek through the San Gabriel Mountains to find the Bridge to Nowhere. It was built in 1936 but abandoned 2 years later when a flood washed out all of the roads. Now the gorge is occupied by gold prospectors and bungee jumpers. I almost lost my foothold a couple times during the river crossings, but I managed to make it out with a dry camera. Here are some pics from the journey.

For Fall this season the women's line did a collaboration with Jennifer the Leopard (aka JLEP). Who's this Jennifer the Leopard you might be asking? She's a 6'9" Olympic curler from Idaho. Just kidding. JLEP is an LA based perfomance-art inspired punk collective. The group is comprised of four media-makers who use music, film and animation in their performances and turn out some pretty crazy stuff.

Click on the pic below to read an article from LARecord about JLEP.

Each shirt represents a different member of the group with the look and feel of your favorite old band shirt. Go check the JLEP gear HERE.

like Cj, I was able to get out of the office for a little and headed a bit further north to SF .... Didn't shoot much but here ya go!

I spent some time away from the office and took a trip up to Big Sur to realign my chakras.  With one pair of clothes, some good company, and a bag of fungi, I ventured out into the redwood forest for 4 days.  Here are some shots I documented throughout the trip.

Check out our new Fall 2010 Look Book.  New styles are available in the store and will continue to grow as the autumnal equinox approaches!

James Callahan, who did our series T's last summer, is going to be in LA this week. If you're in the area swing by one of his shows. James and Mickael Broth do a magazine called Born Ugly. Check it out HERE.

I first became aware of James work from the T-shirts he's done for the band Municipal Waste. I mutual friend hooked us up and the rest is history. Here's some of the stuff he's done for OBEY, if you never saw it.
