kv5i0203Growing up in Southern California I have a huge love of the skate culture. One of my  favorite artists epitomizes this lifestyle through his super expressive and colorful art;  Andy Howell. I stumbled upon Andy’s work when I was in high school and have been a huge fan ever since. Andy prefers mixed media, “anything fast, glue, gel mediums, tape, acrylic, aerosol enamels, pen and ink, anything loose and fast.” This pro-skater/artist transplant has revolutionized the skate industry.

His extensive resume includes numerous gallery showings worldwide, magazine covers, major campaigns from big brands like Coca-Cola to DC Shoes, created extensive clothing and branding lines, featured in periodical publications such as Juxtapoz, Print, HOW, Create and Communication Arts. The guy introduced the first baggy jeans designed specially for the boardsports industry. Wow. This man has done some serious things!

Andy is the founding father of the street/skate/art movement and has continuously evolved with this ever changing culture. Can’t wait to see what comes next from Mr. Howell.

Read the complete bio about Andy on his zazzle store, where you can pick up some really sweet items he designed for next to nothing.

Just a few of my favorites:

women

sketches

Check out his new book: Art, Skateboarding, and Life. It’s a sweet 304 page hardcover book with 2 DVD set with tons of interviews and videos of Andy and other artists and skateboarders. I can’t wait to get my hands on one!

Enjoy!

Today is the day. The day that the people come together and vote for the next president of the United States. Even though it’s raining here in San Diego, people are heading to the polls. Michelle is registered in her home town, and she drove all the way there and back(5 hours) this morning just to get her vote in! Go Michelle! We wear our stickers with pride. :)

So we are having the Obama vs McCain t-shirt design competition on Collar Free and our designers have made some AMAZING shirts. We’ve had so much demand for these tees that we decided that can’t just print 2 winners. We are always looking for ways to benefit ALL of our designers, and not just the winners of the Collar Free competitions.

All our political designs in voting are now available for purchase on demand at Zazzle.com! This is a great opportunity for all of our artists to make some extra money and get their work out there. Why not do this on your own? One answer. Our PR. Collar Free has blasted our email list of thousands and personally contacted most of the political campaign headquarters, already receiving good response. DNR Magazine contacted us and is going to feature two of our designers in an upcoming article! We have already been featured in some popular t-shirt blogs: T-ShirtReview.com, BuyTees.net, DesignYouTrust.com. (Plus if you are selling your stuff on zazzle, you can’t submit it to our collar free site for a chance to win. We can’t accept anything that’s for sale somewhere else.)

Whether you support Obama or McCain – you have to support all these artists.

Political Tees that rock my world:

Words of Hope by Aaron Gilmore

Country First by Derrick Castle

Hope by Ryan Seaman

Reform, Prosperity, Peace by Shawn Conn

United by Blake Suarez

American Hero by Kris Willhoite

Zazzle gives us the opportunity to print on other fun promotional products such as bags, buttons, stickers, mousepads, mugs and posters. Here are some of my fav’s:

ATTN: Voting is still happening on CollarFree.com and ends on October 6th. We will still give the winners their cash prize of $250 and we will print the 2 winners (1 for Obama and 1 for McCain) on our super soft tees, collar free style! If you like something on Zazzle, support them on Collar Free and vote!

This is a historical election, so pick up some shwag to rock around town and pass out at your political parties! ;)
