A.Sharn Dialekt Video Teaser

Last Friday, I was at the home of one A.Sharn Dialekt as he, along with director Jabril Muse were putting together the video for “By My Side”.  It’s A.Sharn’s first major video and an ambition piece that comes off really well.  A music video sandwiched in between a short story…remember when music video were like that?  A lot of effort was put into this, I know because I was there with them editing until 5am…why I was there I still don’t know!  I spent most the night half asleep, but from what I saw from half closed eye lids was looking good, very polished.  You can watch the trailer and sneak preview right here:

I’ll be sure to put up the full video when it comes out, we’re also working on a new t-shirt in collaboration with A.Sharn that takes inspiration from the song.  You’ll have to wait and see the final thing, but I hear it’ll look good.  Head over to our Facebook page to be the first to find out when it’s available.
Don’t forget to also check out A.Sharn Dialekt’s facebook page for news on the video.

StreetFest !!!!!

In the UK it was a long weekend and boy did we take advantage! The weather just about held up so we made it a point to check out one of the first summer events of the year, StreetFest.

For those of you that did not click the link above, StreetFest describes itself as “London’s   number one street culture festival” which we would agree with. There was a lot going on, Graffiti, Strret Dance, BMX, Skatebaording, Inline, photography, Street art, FOOD music and surprisingly T-Shirts! We didn’t expect to see our fellow competitors in such force but I wouldn’t call it a stretch to say Tshirts were a major attraction.

We ran into the ladies from Show Love “The brand with heart”. I had to get a shot of the varsity  jacket shown below. Why? I just love em okay and that’s why I snagged another shot with one of the lads from Ask Your Girl.

We really liked the persistent logo.

Kayobi’s African infused clothing were also present at the festival and drew a fair bit of interest. These guys really understand their audience with their tongue in cheek nod to African culture found within the “Make X not war” line.

There was an opportunity to design your very on Addidas trainers.

(Note the detailed London skyline)

We met Supremebeing as soon as we stepped into the festival. Great guys  and a selection that really reflects the brand ethos.

All in all, it was a good day. We came away entertained, better informed and encourages by our fellow T-shirt makers. Everyone was in high spirits and we wish we could feature all of the companies but space is short.

A Day Out In London

With all that’s been going on I almost for got to let you all know about our photoshoot!

We went around London with our photographer who took some great photos with her digital camera.  She even brought along a real film camera and a Polaroid!

We hadn’t figured out how to control the weather so it was left up to chance…it didn’t started well.  I was drenched waiting for everyone to arrive.  But after that, plain sailing.  On with the photoshoot!

We started right in front of the London Eye, navigating all the tourists for our first few shots.

This was a fast paced shoot so we had no time to stop before moving on to Trafalgar Square…

We attracted a bit of attention around the Square.  We even had passers by stop and take pictures with some of the models.

And finally we end up at Hyde park for the last shots of the day.


Oh and before I forget, there is a cafe/restaurant place in the park that  does a beautiful banana muffin.  It was delicious and capped off a great day.

I was exhausted at the end of the day and I wasn’t even taking any pictures or modelling so I can’t imagine what the other guys felt like.  Big thanks to all those involved.
