Johnny Cupcakes x Trophy Cupcakes Seattle
So over the weekend we checked out Johnny Cupcakes hustle over at Trophy Cupcakes in Seattle. My son and I made it in the video on his blog so I guess that makes us cool? Finally got to meet JC himself and had a couple of words with him. He told me his story of how him and Ben from The Hundreds are friends and used to be on an old forum before they were big and people would make fun of there shirts all the time. Who’s laughing now?
There aren’t many brands out there that truly care about satisfaction with their customers when buying their products. Most popular brands are usually the “buy this $40 t-shirt and watch it shrink and fade after a cold wash and hang dry” type of brand. Not many care about the purchasing experience or quality of product they sell to their customers. I got introduced to JC clothing way awhile back from one of my favorite local artists Peekaboo who did a collabo with him. (click here) One thing that stood out was the packaging, labels, everything that was included in my order was designed to perfection and I hardly wanted to throw away anything. How often do you get that experience? The Hundreds also carries the same morals by giving away free stuff when you buy their products and also are down to earth and interact with their customers. And if you’ve ever been to any of their stores, you’ll see they really do go all out to stick out from the rest.
Even though I’m hardly into buying graphic tees anymore, I still hopefully plan on starting my own brand someday. And for all you others that plan on starting a clothing brand or other type of business, please research, come up with a UNIQUE concept and don’t focus on just making big profits by using a cheap shitty products.

Shark Week
So I’m a big fan of Discovery’s Shark Week. I’ve always had a fascination for sharks ever since I was in elementary school collecting and reading ZooBooks. One of my goals before I die is to come face to face with a Great White in one of those shark cages. I’d probably be scared as %$@*! But I’m crazy like that! Whatever fears you overcome only makes you stronger.
Well here is an illustration I did today in Illustrator from waking up to early out of boredom. Time: 2hrs and 30 mins.

Brainfart.
Sometimes when my mind isn’t creative, I either leave the house and do something to take a mental break, or I browse books, magazines, or online for an inspiration to pop into my head. I’m currently trying to come up with some creative logos for a couple of brands. And I got stuck with a brain fart, so I was browsing the internet for some cool logos. And I have to say, the ones that stick out best to me are the creative type logos that form images, or subtle images that really complete the logo. I hate busy logos especially when the elements have nothing to do with the brand. Or when people just take a font they like, type out the brand name, do nothing to give the font a little twist, and call it their logo. Where’s the creativity in that? Well here’s some of my favorites I found….
