Mishka x New Era Collab Shoot
The folks at Atlanta Got Sole and the New Era Flagship store in Atlanta brought me in to shoot a few photos of the soon to be released Mishka cap and tee sets earlier this week. Shot with a 35mm f/1.4 with no exterior lighting, all ambient.

Pick-Up: The Clink Room On-Field Fitteds
My The Clink Room caps came in today amid an insanely torrential downpour. Thanks to the mailman for the timely delivery, and thanks to Jon & Casey for the great caps ahead of schedule! I love everything about The Clink Room and what it stands for, the creative process behind each design, and the willingness…
Track Of The Week: Aug. 22nd-28th
No mixtape this week, just the much discussed Kanye West track entitled “Monster“. Typically feature heavy tracks irritate me, but none of the guests laid lame verses so I’m not adverse to posting it. Since it dropped, there’s been plenty of discussion about Kanye’s place in the top rappers, Nicki Minaj’s level of irritation and…
Track of the Week: June 6 – 12
It’s been a little while since we’ve had something new from Atlanta, GA native Cee-Lo Green. The wait is now over! DJ Greg Street and Cee-Lo have teamed up to bring us Stray Bullets, a 14 track mix of laid back soul, Gnarles Barkley-esque thump and experimental goodness. There’s too much right with this mixtape…
Track of the Week: May 30 – June 5
I’ve got an affliction for “out of the box” music. I don’t just listen to a certain type of music, especially because of my environment or what I look like, and this week’s track is a combo of both southern cooked traphouse spitters and some of the dopest trance loops i’ve heard in a good…

His vocal sound paired with electronic-styled production creates a musical environment that bears semblance to Tim Burton’s expert use of color in his interpretation of Alice In Wonderland…
Track of the Week: April 11-17
Pittsburgh native rapper Wiz Khalifa has finally dropped one of his most anticipated works to date this week with Kush and Orange Juice. It doesn’t quite reach the feeling of overall completeness that you get from Flight School, but it surpasses Burn After Rolling by steering away from the campiness of tracks like “If I…
Japanese Blackface
In most situations, when blackface is used in an American context it is almost always an immediate cause for uproar. The minstrel movement was, at its heart, a comedic depiction of black stereotypes shown through the eyes of the upper echelon of society. As time went on, it became a bit tougher to stomach and…
Japanese Influence In American Cartoon Programming
When most of the older crowd thinks of Japan, memories of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Pearl Harbor, feudalism, and Samurai warriors come to mind. However, this country’s younger generations have alternate views of the sleeping giant of the far east. Both technology and entertainment are considered “a step above” when it comes to Japan, its culture, and…
