As you all probably know, Monster Children has hit our shores and in their first U.S. issue they have a beautiful feature on our Polaroid Project. We also shot artist Lisa Solberg for a little feature and photos from our opening at THIS are in the back. We’re all over it! You can pick up a copy at your local newsstand or buy one online HERE.

Otto & Spike have been knitting in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia for the last 40 years, and were part of a burgeoning scene…
Picture Australian youth in Melbourne during the 1970’s, influenced by ska and mods. I’m talking about The Sharpies; clad in Levi’s and custom sweaters, wearing mullets and new-age hairdos. Sharpies focused on looking sharp, which is where their name came from. They were known for trying to outdo one another by customizing their clothes and cardigans.
Check this clip out for more information (and some laughs):

Although Otto & Spike are still going strong today, gone are the days when they made custom cardigans for the Sharpies. Today you will find a company that prides themselves on using the finest lambs wool from Australia and New Zealand, and still using some of the traditional knitting machinery from a time where computers weren’t needed.
Recently I was invited to create a collection for Otto & Spike. Since I love to ride my bike every day, I wanted to design something for people that also share that love. Here are the scarves I recently did, and should be in stores soon for those in Australia, Canada & Japan.

Please take 5 minutes out of your day to watch this awesome video about the beyond awesome, the one and only, Porous Walker.
This Friday, April 2nd is the opening party for a new art show featuring the work of Gareth Stehr. Behold The Black Light will be somewhat of an antiexhibit backed by the zounds of Green & Wood and others. Regardless of your affinity for stoner doom rock, you’ll want to attend.

thats right… get your dumb ass over to the Treasury Dept April 3rd, between 8:00 and 11:00… i mean, free drinks and affordable art?! cant beat that…
