Steven Vogel interviews the creative director of St. Pauli FC over at The Reference Council and talks about the history of Europe’s most notorious soccer club and the idea of what it takes to build a streetwear brand without falling into the pitfalls of a traditional brand.

Mumble brother and all around whack-job Porous Walker and fellow bros had a show at the Park Life shop/gallery in S.F. HERE are photos of the art and some of the attendees, was stoked to see Don Pendleton in S.F. he was in town doing a mural in the Juice Design offices, photos HERE.

Finally gave my website, mightyjoecastro.com, an extreme home makeover, complete with lots of new artwork, including the collage-based art print pictured above, which is now for sale over at society6.  The site also includes images from a new series of collage based skate graphics I’ve been working on, a few which are for sale over on the artsprojekt site.  Anyway, please stop by and have a look when you get a moment. And I finally caved in to pressure and am now posting on twitter as well, so feel free to follow if you’re down with that sort of thing.

There is a HUGE benefit art show happening tonight in LA.  So many of my favorite artists have contributed treasures to benefit a great organization Para Los Niños.  Para Los Niños is a nonprofit family service
organization designed to bring children from some of Los Angeles’ most challenging communities out
of poverty and onto brighter, more successful futures.   Check out the fresh stART site HERE for more info.  Hope you all are having a bright sunny Saturday.  So nice in Portland today!

The Wild International shop opened for business a few weeks ago, and I sort of lagged on posting the good news. The debut offering is this print by London artist Mark Ward. Be sure to keep an eye on the blog and store for upcoming releases at http://thewildinternational.com/wordpress/

About the Mark Ward print for The Wild International
“Mark Ward is a killer artist based in London. He’s done more to shape youth culture through his work than most of the people out will realize, and he likes to keep it that way. His work is internationally renowned, respected and well, bad ass. Mark is a great skater, snowboarder, beer drinker and friend. We are all very happy that Mark agreed to make this print for us – actually, his first, and all the better for it.”
