Spring '10 Photoshoot

2010-03-10T12:17:14-08:00

Here are some behind the scene shots from this past Sunday’s photoshoot.

I want to take this time to thank the photographers, Cavan Clark and Dylan Bartalini-Volk, our models, Ria, Jason, Hank and Lance, our stylist Vittoria, our make-up artist Coco, and my assistant Ricky. Sunday was funday as fuck!

Have fun shopping right here.

REBEL8 x Mishka

2010-03-09T22:06:24-08:00

While the entire Spring ’10 season is selling NOW in the online shop, let me take a quick moment to show you the Mishka collab. I am beyond stoked on how the end product came out. We really push New Era to develop the craziest hats for us, and they truly came through on this one. These will be gone soon.

Denim New Era. Leather brim. Hella patches. Black satin liner.

And the accompanying tees are FRESH. Yeah Jason!

Get some Ria!

I’ll do some more product highlights from our Spring season over the next few days and also some behind the scenes shots from last Sunday’s photoshoot. Thanks everybody!

Artshows!

2010-03-06T16:47:41-08:00

I have new work in two group shows tonight. The first show is at Gallery Heist, 679 Geary near Leavenworth. It features works by contemporary artists living and working in the Tenderloin District, like me. The opening reception is from 7-11pm. The second show is at Guerrero Gallery, 2700 19th Street near York. It is the grand opening of my friend Andres Guerrero’s new space. Features the work of over 20 artists. It’s also open from 7-11pm tonight. Hope to see you there!

Squaw Valley!

My buddy Michael took me up to Squaw Valley on Sunday afternoon for some snowboarding.

The snow was great. The sun was out. We got some great runs in.

Big up, Tahoe!

Now back to work…

New Posters, Limited Editions

2010-02-22T10:23:35-08:00

Some of you probably know by now I work A LOT. So coming into R8HQ over the weekend is pretty typical. This past Saturday I was greeted by Mike’s poster cabinets from the old Skullz Press store. He told me I could sell all the signed and numbered posters at REBEL8.com. Quantities are very limited on all of these posters and unless you went to the Skullz Press store, you probably have never seen them.

The first poster is for Mike’s opening this week in Milan. I’m pretty sure we are the only ones to have this poster selling and also have it signed.

If you are in Milan, be sure to go check it out. I got a chance to see all the works prior to shipping to Italy and they are fucking amazing.

This one is the Mike Giant & Mike Davis collaboration poster. Personally, my favorite out of the bunch.

Signed by both Giant and Davis.

For all you bicycle people, this poster is for you.

Like the others, all signed.

This one is called AGAINST THE STREAM and is for LA-based Buddhist Meditation Society. Another collector’s piece.

The SAN FRANCISCO FLASH Poster is dope. If you do not have an SF poster from Mike, this is good one to get. I have quite a few SF posters, then again, I have quite a few SF tattoos. Frisco bitch!

And lastly, the FRISCO POSTCARD Poster. Recognize.

Happy Monday! Happy shopping. These will go quick, get on it.

Slimeball!

I painted this one on Cedar Alley between Larkin and Polk yesterday.

Thanks for the sweet paint, Jase!

REBEL8xFTC Deck Release

Here’s some flics from the party at FTC on Friday night. Great crowd.

I signed some decks.

Tony and Ramon were up in there too.

I think these girls were lost.

Thanks for the flics, Francisco.
