THE FAST LIFE Snapbacks
</title>
<summary type="html">
<![CDATA[<p>For the &#8220;There Goes The Neighborhood,&#8221; June 20th event in LA between us, Famous, and The Fast Life we had quite a few limited products for sale. I tried my best to save a few and offer them on REBEL8.<span class="caps">COM</span> for all the people that don&#8217;t live in LA.</p>
<p>We had the Mike Giant signed posters last week, and today we are dropping the sweet snapbacks. Please note, we only have 11 in stock per colorway. Seriously, only 11 of each.</p>
<p>The SF Giant&#8217;s colorway.</p>
<A HREF="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/the-fast-life-sf-snapback"><IMG SRC="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/products/SO-Black_Front_large.jpg?1247175464"></A>
<p>And the LA Dodger&#8217;s colorway. Click any of the hats to check out more product shots and place your order.</p>
<A HREF="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/the-fast-life-la-snapback"><IMG SRC="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/products/SO-Blue_Front_large.jpg?1247175060"></A>
<p>As a little bonus, for every order we’ll throw in one of each kind of sticker shown below. These stickers are not available for sale individually. You need to buy a poster.</p>
<IMG SRC="http://rebel8.com/NEWS/2009/0630/IMG_0873.jpg">
<p>We’ll probably throw in a gang of these Famous ones as well.</p>

<![CDATA[<p>Before I show some photos from last weekend&#8217;s trip to <span class="caps">NYC</span>, here are a few photos from one of my favorite <strong>REBEL8</strong> accounts, <a href="http://www.canvasla.com/blog/"><strong>Canvas LA</strong></A>. I was stoked that Todd (owner of Canvas LA) stopped by <a href="http://thefastlife.com/blog/"><strong>The Fast Life</strong></A> for our ridiculously amazing event on June 20th with Famous. It&#8217;s all R8 love!</p>
<p>Canvas LA is one part store, one part gallery.</p>

STARTIN' UP A POSSE
</title>
<summary type="html">
<![CDATA[<p>So back in 2006 we did a shirt called <a href="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/startin-up-a-posse-mens-tee"><strong>STARTIN&#8217; UP A <span class="caps">POSSE</span></strong></A> (named after one of my fav <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poTA34hKbZw"><strong>Anthrax songs</strong></A>). Within a day or so of the release it was apparent that it was the most popular <strong>REBEL8</strong> tee ever. Naturally over the years we have definitely had more popular designs and it seems every season there is a new &#8220;most popular ever.&#8221;</p>
<p>Allow me to be the first to reintroduce <a href="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/startin-up-a-posse-mens-tee"><strong>STARTIN&#8217; UP A <span class="caps">POSSE</span></strong></A>, with a few little tweaks a la R8 Art Dept.</p>
<A HREF="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/startin-up-a-posse-mens-tee"><IMG SRC="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/products/SO-OEMTS001-1_large.jpg?1247160248"></A>
<p>A little zoom should hopefully have you seeing the half-tone <span class="caps">REBEL</span> <span class="caps">EIGHT</span> background.</p>
<A HREF="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/startin-up-a-posse-mens-tee"><IMG SRC="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/products/oemts001_2_large.jpg?1247091238"></A>
<p>And yes, this is only the beginning of the REBEL8 Online Exclusives.</p>
<A HREF="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/startin-up-a-posse-mens-tee"><IMG SRC="http://rebel8.com/NEWS/2009/0708-01.jpg"></A>
<p><a href="http://shop.rebel8.com/products/startin-up-a-posse-mens-tee"><strong>STARTIN&#8217; UP A <span class="caps">POSSE</span></strong></A> is only available at REBEL8.<span class="caps">COM</span>. It is limited to 88 pieces. It is selling for $32.00 which is the same price as all our other t-shirts. Enjoy.</p>]]>

"Wizard Camp"
</title>
<summary type="html">
<![CDATA[<p>This afternoon I&#8217;m headed up to Spirit Rock for a weeklong meditation retreat.  My girlfriend Megan calls it Wizard Camp.  I guess if there was a modern equivalent, this would be it.  Retreat means a lot of sitting and walking meditation, great vegan food, a comfortable place to sleep, long walks among wild animals in the hills, and no internet, no phone, no keys, no money, no beers, and no weed.  It also means my recently acquired kief stash will have to chill for a while&#8230;</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/kief.jpg?1246991632' alt='' /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to slow down, hang out with my fellow meditation practitioners, and get back in touch with Reality.  See you on the flip side!  Be mindful&#8230;</p>]]>

The Return of The Skullz Press
</title>
<summary type="html">
<![CDATA[<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/skullz_logo.jpg?1246654856' alt='' /></p>
<p>Since I got the new storefront, I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out what to call it.  Thusfar, I&#8217;ve been calling it &#8220;Private Studio 260&#8221;, but after thinking about it more, I&#8217;ve decided to make it the new home of The Skullz Press.  I had already planned to offer posters and zines again now that I have a space, so it just makes sense to bring the Press back.</p>
<p>So I just set up a Skullz Press <A HREF="http://skullzpress.blogspot.com/" TARGET="_blank">blog</A>.  Check it out.  I will post info about the studio&#8217;s activities on the new blog, and I&#8217;ll continue to post anything related to REBEL8 on here as usual.</p>]]>

Moving Along
</title>
<summary type="html">
<![CDATA[<p>The other day I got an e-mail from Jordan at Hufnagel Bicycles in Portland that he was almost ready to start building a custom bike for me.  So I think it&#8217;s about time to let my old road bike go.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/r1000_profile.jpg?1246057104' alt='' /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a 2005 Cannondale R1000.  It&#8217;s a 60cm frame.  The carbon fork is super strong and straight.  I got it brand new from the factory in trade for some tattoos.  I put 1000s on miles on this bike while I lived in Albuquerque.  It&#8217;s certainly not new anymore.  Anybody wanna give me $400 for it as is?  It just needs a wheelset, seat and seatpost.  Check out the sweet drivetrain.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/cranks_r1000.jpg?1246301622' alt='' /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s in great shape, other than this ding in the toptube.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/ding_r1000.jpg?1246301736' alt='' /></p>
<p>Oops!  This is an awesome bike for longer rides.  It&#8217;s super light.  And the flat black finish is a rare treat.  E-mail me if you&#8217;d like more info.</p>
<p>And things are moving along at my storefront.  Megan and Mark were helping me get it painted on Friday afternoon.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/mega_mark.jpg?1246301799' alt='' /></p>
<p>I opted to get the spots up high.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/high_corners.jpg?1246302099' alt='' /></p>
<p>Yesterday my man Ethan came by and installed a temporary plywood wall for displaying artwork.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/streetward.jpg?1246302130' alt='' /></p>
<p>This evening my buddy Francisco will be installing another temporary wall and a desk for me in the back.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/backward.jpg?1246302178' alt='' /></p>
<p>I also got a nice stash of unsold framed artwork from White Walls.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0001/0863/files/leftovers.jpg?1246302239' alt='' /></p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s get this shit started!  Come on down this Friday night, July 3rd, for the official public opening of</p>
<p>Private Studio 260<br />
260 Divisadero Street near Haight<br />
San Francisco, Califas</p>
<p>The opening will be open from 6-9pm.  Please stop by and bring cash for insane deals on originals and posters.</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;m offering a special guest list only <span class="caps">VIP</span> opening for friends this Thursday night, July 2nd.  Please e-mail if you&#8217;d like to be added to the list.  If I don&#8217;t know you personally, please come to the public opening on Friday night.</p>
<p>The space will also be open every Saturday from noon to 8pm starting July 4th.</p>
<p>There will be an opening to debut new work every first Friday of the month.  And collectors should feel free to contact me anytime about private appointments to see what I have to offer as well.</p>
<p>Hope to see you there!</p>]]>
