We just launched our new OBEY Awareness project with Urban Roots. We are raising funds in support of a call to action that creates farms within schools in urban areas. These farms are used not only to grow food but to educate as well. Since funding for this type of project was not previously available, Tree Media Foundation partnered with the Green Schoolhouse- a Los Angeles-based school garden consulting and design company. Together they created a pilot program to build school farms called “Field of Dreams”. The Field of Dreams farms function as an outdoor classroom where high school students learn the sustainable practices of planting, composting and water conservation to grow food with the highest organic and nutritional value. Each school will experience the growth cycle from seed, to harvest, to table. The goal of the project is for students to bring home the message that growing your own food is a simple and vital process.

By purchasing this item you are directly supporting the OBEY AWARENESS program. We launched OBEY AWARENESS to educate the posse and generate funding for causes that we are involved in. OBEY AWARENESS is unique in that it will constantly evolve to support emerging, important issues. All profits generated from the sale of the Obey product completely support these causes. We encourage you to check out the upcoming new styles, stay involved, learn more and make a difference. Stay up!

Vanessa and I made it out to Bar Marmont last night for the signing of Tristan Eaton's 3D Art Book. The book features 100 artist's work in 3D including... Shepard Fairey, Jeff Soto, Mark Ryden... and a bunch of other rad names. Super fun night.

no lights, all stocking until we see the sun... its almost here..

lurk

We have a collaboration coming up in spring with a long time friend- Curtis Kulig aka LOVE ME. Keep an eye out for it in the next few weeks. Until then, you can see his work here & here.

just got word I'll be heading out to meet up with Shep and the crew within the next couple weeks... can't tell you where yet, but its one of these =)

stay tuned

First post of the new year goes to me - a worthless, hungover human being... but somehow I feel great! I thought I'd ease in the new year and not go out last night... I made the mistake of partying with all the US networks... ABC, MTV, BET, and a little of CMT, pouring leftover alcohol from various parties into my mouth (not at the same time, silly goat.) and chasing it with the only liquid I had left in the fridge... Coffee Cream. Not.A.Good.Idea..

Now onto some great OBEY news, we had a holiday party not too long ago... I'll be updating more, but here are some highlights from the night...

More Photos Soon!!!

On some International news, people love pop up shops. With Taipei being one of em... If you're in the Taiwan, and jonzing for new trippy threads... peep this:

And the after party...

Thanks and good luck in 2012!
