Busted down to L.A. for Market this last weekend, and I pretty much forgot to take photos except for these.
new work
Justin and Alfred from T&A Showroom
Most of our sales reps are multi-talented, but Justin Fry is really REALLY talented. He had some of his newer paintings displayed in the showroom, and here’s a link to more of his work.
Lanie & Julie from Hellz
Lanie, the Hellz designer and Julie from the Foundation in the gorgeous Hellz design studio. Lanie was wearing a ridiculous (and I mean this in a good way) Vivienne Westwood-inspired skirt from the Holiday 09 collection (sorry, again, I had no foresight and didn’t take a pic). Julie is also rockin’ a cape-like sweater from Holiday.
roxy (or maybe roxie) manuel & nicole
Over at Focus, had some noodles while chatting with Roxy & Ms. Nicacelly (who was being admired by Manuel).
Givin’ you his new mixtape: a link

Link to a new Weathermen song, “Reports of a Possible Kidnapping” (Aesop, Cage, El) – promo version.
Yesterday Rob Dyrdek’s feature length film, “Street Dreams” world premier came to light at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Among the herd of people that showed up for the screening and all the red carpet extravaganza were Rob and Sal Masekela on blast and on E! Entertainment…
As well as Nino, who is one half of the writing team that put Street Dreams together…
And last, but certainly not least Thes One from LA’s group People Under The Stairs who produced the entire soundtrack for the film. Showed up in a tight knit fit and rockin’ the black/sky blue gradient 9five Butters sunglasses.
Go see “Street Dreams” hitting select theatres tomorrow, June 12th. For more info: www.streetdreamsmovie.com

To help celebrate the 10-year anniversary of UP, Alex Pardee gave us hi
interpretation of the UP walrus…with it’s own poem:
“Born with legs of a golden tint,
He’d walk, he’d run, he’d jump and sprint. There’s nothing much he COULDN’T do,
With legs of gold and wooden shoes.
The girls all l
ved his limbs and knees,
For no one else had legs like these,
But jealousy arose with some,
Cause’ HE was having all the fun!
So late one night upon his slumber,
Darkness drenched with rain and thunder.
There he slept and dreamt of blondes,
But when he woke HIS LEGS WERE GONE!
Who would do this tragic thing?
What good is a bee if a bee cannot sting?
And what good is HE without legs at all?
Now he cannot move and he’
not that tall!
So he hopped on the back of his bestest friend,
And together they ride as he seeks his REVENGE!”
The walrus rider is approximately 11″ tall and has bendy arms and a removable tusk (which fits into the rider’s hand). This black version is exclusive to UP and will only be available at UP stores and UP online only. … and The Giant Peach!
