Return of Alphanumeric (A#)

markj | | 3:37 pm

Alphanumeric “Environmental Protection Company” (A#) originally launched in 1998. It is a brand that combined a mixed lifestyle of surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, car and music. The non-traditional approach to design and marketing of the brand has actually shaped our street culture today.

Alyahsha Owerka Moore, the graphic artist behind Fiberops and Mirka teamed up to rebuild and re-launch the company. Hear what they have to say about the brand’s directions from the interview done by Curiculummag.

In terms of their new designs, A#’s Spring/Summer collection have already hit the stores. You can see Aly’s touch (think Fiberops) of designs on them. See more designs here.

A# loyalists can pick them up from online stores like Karmaloop and other stockists.

Patrick Martinez x Upper Playground “The Juice” T-shirt

markj | January 16, 2008 | 6:44 pm

Who can forget the circus show that unfolded June 17th as OJ Simpson drove his white Ford Bronco down Interstate 405. Artist Patrick Martinez questions what was more difficult, rushing for 2,000 yards or getting away with a double homicide. However more recently OJ Simpson was involved in a break & enter leading people to wonder, is OJ misunderstood or just a public target. Available at Upper Playground stores and Upperplayground.com.

seen. - a short look at the label

markj | January 10, 2008 | 8:25 pm

seen. is an upcoming label for “non-hippie reggae- and dancehallwear” trying to establish a visual language far away from red-green-and-yellow Marijuana-leaves and Bob Marley merchandise.

seen., tries to stay in permanent contact with contemporary Jamaican popular culture instead of sticking to the cliché-soaked images that some ever-stoned hippies still carry around. Check out seen’s “philosophy” here.

That´s also why seen. went to Kingston from August 06 to February 07 where the link to living photographic legend Peter Dean Rickards was established. Now seen. and P. D. Rickard collaborate on a tee:

EVERYTHING STARTS FROM SCRATCH

“The Afflicted Yard has never released its images for the production of T-shirts. This is generally because I’ve always seen the t-shirt thing as having huge potential for the Afflicted Yard and I wanted to wait and do it right rather than to sell the photographs to anyone with a t shirt line — who would then be able to use the images in any way that they wanted.

“I get maybe two or three such requests every month from T-shirt lines all over the planet, and to date I’ve always refused. Seen. out of Germany is different, however. Their line is nice–real nice–and on top of it they’re consistent.”

As a result, seen. was given the green light and they’ve released a (very) limited edition t-shirt featuring an Afflicted Yard original photograph of Lee Scratch Perry as well as the Porus bullhead and photographs of Kay with the 12-gauge which compose the collaborative logo pictured above .

This is the first time any photograph has been allowed out of the Afflicted Yard for such use, excluding of course the LA LEWIS tees (which were actually Afflicted Yard T-shirts anyway).”
- P. D. Rickards ( www.afflictedyard.com)

NOTE: sold out on www.seen-site.com - there´s some of them left at www.soul-force.com

ONE
The first item of seen.´s new “Fingerprints”-series is out. The shirt is called “One” – not because of One Love, One Heart or One Destiny, but because of Studio One.

With this new design – based one a photograph from Afflicted Yard´s (www.afflictedyard.com) amazing “One”-series. By the way – we take our hats off to Coxsone Dodd and friends. And you better show some respect, too.

Fresh and heavy black-orange screenprint on the front, seen.-logo in the neck - put on a sand-coloured quality-tee. Buy it now

Thanks to Tobias at seen. for all the information and heads up. Check out the rest of the shop here

Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction - New Tshirts

markj | | 10:28 pm

Got a mail from these guys today, look to have some pretty good shirts on offer. Generally a hand printed affair, which I am sure gives them a great quality - A couple coming in the post for review so expect to see more on them soon…but in the meantime check out these designs and check out their store

Sign up to their email newsletter to get 10% off your first order! 

Available in S to XL, Heather Olive/Grey/White - $36

Our name, taken from a good man; Walter Benjamin, and put between two stacks of smoke. Yo, guys, art and industry can work together!

And here’s what they have to say about themselves:

Art In The Age of Mechanical Reproduction, which takes its name from Walter Benjamin’s landmark 1934 essay, is a clothing company that truly collaborates with actual artists rather than of just telling them what to do. Our artists work on a freelance basis and so they give us their “real” work and not just something they think can sell.  Our artist / collaborators see our company as a way of delivering an original and thought-provoking message to a public who is tired of being spoon-fed slop by nameless corporations. See it all at www.artintheage.com.

What Mr. Benjamin has to say about “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”…

Enables… the original to meet the beholder halfway.
Hits… the spectator like a bullet, thus acquiring a tactile quality.
Permits… graphic art for the first time to put products on the market, not only in large numbers, but also in daily changing forms.
Places… revolutionary demands in the politics of art.
Detaches… the reproduced object from the domain of tradition.
Reproduces… transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public.
Reactivates… the object being produced… in permitting the reproduction to meet the beholder in his own particular situation.
Leaves… the realm of the ‘beautiful semblance’ which, so far, had been taken to be the only sphere where art could thrive.
