Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival Poster


I think this is a refreshing poster when it comes to hip hop shows. The Brooklyn Hip Hop festival teamed up with Sabit NYC to bring this funky fresh poster. If you're in the Brooklyn area next Saturday you should head over and see the performances.

Angry Spade -New Apparel


Angry Spade is still a new indie brand, but they released a new belt, tank top, and shirt. I'm not a fan of most of their designs at all, it's not special or anything that appeals to me, but this design is cool. I think the belt is cool for teenagers, while the tank and tee can be worn by most people. Printed tags is always a good thing and you can tell their serious. The ink is waterbases too, so that means a soft print and not heavy plastic on your chest.

Hydro 74 Hardcover book


As you may know by the occasional post, I'm a fan of Joshua Smith aka Hydro74. He recently had a hardcover book of 50 illustrations on pre-order. I pre-ordered the book and I received it early from the original date it was said it was supposed to arrive. I received it and it contained some sweet looking stickers. The book is thin, but you can see all the details up close in personal. It's a good reference book, but it's good to see how he created each design. Not all of the designs are on his portfolio, but those that are, it's good that you don't have to constantly go on his site to view. It's now $45, but it's worth it. I enjoy art books by various designers/artists, so it was a treat for me.
