LOUDMOUTH HAT SAMPLE ARRIVES

Today we received the LOUDMOUTH hat sample from our factory.  This was a first sample and it looked pretty clean.  We went with the cyan bill on top with black on the underside, cyan adjustable strap on the back and signature loudmouth twill patch up front and center. 

We look forward to releasing these and a bunch of new items / works over the next few months.  The P.S.C.H. shows are right around the corner and we are finalizing the 2 other cities we will be showing the series over the next few weeks.  Details coming soon. Stay tuned.

LOUDMOUTH PAPER TOYS RELEASED

Another Sunday Funday in the lab so I decided to work up some loudmouth paper toys.  I tried to keep them very easy to assemble so you can print them out and put em' together and have a nice little loudmouth to hangout on your desk everyday. 

There are two sizes, 8.5" x 11" and 11" x 17".  You will get the best color and quality printing the larger on at kinkos on some cardstock.  Score (perforate the line wit an xacto blade) on the dotted lines where you will be folding to fold easier.  Materials needed: printer, paper, blade / scissors and some glue.

Shoot over to the download section to grab them.  Enjoy and send us a photo or two.

LAS VEGAS + SAN FRANCISCO + NYC = SUCCESS

After traveling for a good 2 weeks to VEGAS / SAN FRAN / NYC, I am back in the studio in ART / DESIGN mode.  The trip was killer and very productive.  First stop was LAS VEGAS for PROJECT, MAGIC, ENK .  The lines looked great and had a chance to connect my guys from CARPE, the line looked very clean and well presented at PROJECT. 

I got a chance to connect with long time friend AC PASARELLA from A FRESH TAKE NYC who handles the sales for ENK trade shows.  Their show looked very high-end and the choice of lines were on point and I can't be mad at the free food and drinks in the VIP lounge.  They really know how to treat their people.  Matt Klein, who I worked with when we started CARPE is now over at ABS MENS COLLECTION as the national sales rep.  I had a chance to browse the line which was full with gingham check patterns, chambrays and nicely detailed pieces.

While at S.L.A.T.E. in MAGIC I was able to chat with SKINNER as he was painting live.  Really cool down to earth dude, who had some wise words of knowledge regarding his success in the art world.  I caught a photo of one of his works while out in SF (see below).

FORMAT MAG had a nice visual install with a few of the best event / nightife photograhers in the game.  Long time friend MIDNGHT was one of the featured photographers for the exhibit. They featured a photo he shot of FRANK BELL rocking a loudmouth sticker over his mouth.  What a pleasant surprise.

Frank Bell the loudmouth.

After Vegas I hopped over to San Francisco to work with the guys at MEDICINE AGENCY.  As you probably saw on the front page, I will be doing my debut solo show with them NOV. 6th.  It was great to work in their studio, see their neighborhood and spec out the galllery.  I cant wait to get back in November.  Special thanks to Rama Mayo, John Lacroix, Sean Desmond and the rest of the guys at MEDS.  Here are some SF photos I was able to catch:

ALL PREP, NO PLAY

Been mighty busy up at the studio the last few week. We have been prepping for the run of solo shows we will be doing for a few months starting November.  I have been working on 100+ new pieces and a few collaborations that will be released at the first show in SAN FRANCISCO.

We will launching the show details and dates in the next two weeks.  Monday I shoot out to VEGAS for the Trade shows (MAGIC, PROJECT, ENK) for a few days for some meetings and head over to SAN FRANCISCO to meet with the gallery we will be working with.

I will be back in ATLANTA for a few days then to NYC for a few meetings on the client / fashion side.

More to come soon!
