Listen, I’m kinda beefy over an art show that opens this weekend, but I still think everyone should see it - and I don’t want to take any credit away from the amazing artists and Justin from Shooting Gallery and Kris Lewis (who seems to have been the curators) for putting together what seems like an incredible exhibit. Just sour over will.i.am doing an art show and not involving G1988...

Hidden
Listen, you COULD focus on this full shot of the Limited Blue Camo Hoodie that Pete was wearing during press week at the Super Bowl, but I think I’ll stare at the fact that a microphone has a rubber ducky on it. pic snagged from icecreamhdaches.

Kitchen Ware
”Hit it” is a series of furniture, consisting of a table and chairs. They resemble Saloon furniture from western movies, but the difference lies in the material. Hit It allows everyone to feel like a strong cowboy. Saloon fighting will now not only be fun, but safe. Pains that I don’t own this. Not sure I can outwit the physical Hit It Table and Chairs with any sort of pun or...

Happy Holilate
So, even though the man publicly outed me as desperate for those drool-worthy Coraline Nikes, and banned the shoe game to Clandestinish, I still owe Pete a Holiday present. He got me the Todd James (a.k.a. “REAS”) print he featured over on his blog a few months ago, which was awesome. And I figured I’d return the gesture… I had two prints to choose from, you tell me if I...

Go Panthers!
…and to further my obsession, would any of you still be my friend if I bought a few of these products and wore them while watching the DVD sets? (and by a few products, I mean all 4, and yes, that would mean I’d wear both jerseys at once, switching them when either Riggins or Matt scores at TD or kisses a girl). seen here.

4th and Obsession
I can’t be alone, can I? Still on my Season 1 DVDs, but that lonely category where “Freaks and Geeks” and “The State” live in, might just get a new roomie. I am your Landry.

What May Come...
Still a little confused about how this dude was able to take a photograph of a dream he was having. Also, I love little man in the back who has not quite hit the age where he would HAVE to pay attention. seen at Egotastic!

My Best Friend
Dear God, How did Disney get into my head and create the movie of my dreams? Dear DJ Dan Suh, Do they make weed strong enough for this to seem normal? Dear Pete, You can’t even get Hemy a line read for this stuff? New agent needed. Dear the stars of Space Buddies, Do you guys all wanna hang out? Mini Golf? Smiling, laughing, hanging. I love you guys. Alot.

google maps LARPing
james montgomery sent this one over to me. sometimes the photographers that capture images for google maps end up taking pictures of some amazing shit. they caught a few LARPers (live action role playing) in the act in pittsburgh somewhere: check it here for more on LARPing, definitely check out the movie ‘monster camp’ and try to figure out which dude most reminds you of andy...

The only thing to ever beat Salsa Shark might just be Lemonade Shark, and now it’s all possible with these awe-inspiring shark fin ice trays. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Ocean Spray Cran-berry Cocktail. No? Not a funny Jaws reference? We’re gonna need a bigger cup? Whatever. You can buy them by CLICKING HERE. first seen at likecool.

Chueh Shoe
A nice mixture between my worlds of Gallery1988 and Clandestine is the artwork of Luke Chueh, who recently created a commissioned painting for the cover of Fall Out Boy’s latest album, Folie a Deux. Maybe you’ve seen it? Well, if you have, I’m assuming it got you onto LukeChueh.com, which in turn got you to be a serious Luke Chueh fan. Well, was stoked to see these custom Nikes...

Free Sundaes
Soooo…artist Simon Oxely (idokungfoo.com) supplied us with two signed digital prints of the Angry Ice Cream graphic he did for the new Clan relaunch tee, and since you check blogs on Sundays, I’ll give you the chance to win one free. First two people to email me at tysongivens@gmail.com and supply me with the name of the actress who played Punky Brewster, get the print. Good luck....

Just Like Us
As a huge fan of logos and corporate identities, I was STOKED to see a website focusing on the recent Americanization (smile everyone! we taking over, but we brought coffee) of Dubai and how the country is implementing American corporations into their Arabic world. When it comes to logos or signage, translating the global brand in Arabic poses a dozen or so design issues, which includes the idea...

Day Of
Pete & Dan out in DC getting their “I was there for history” on, I’m laying on my couch watching this week’s “Tool Academy.” Toss up, right? The Clandestine Obama tee dropped today, with outstanding success. I know off hand that G1988: SF sold out. There are still some left at G1988: LA and Stephen over at the Clandestine store said people were going crazy...

Pre Pre Buzz
Early word out of Sundance (besides the obvious that Hollywood people are douchey) is that the Marc Webb directed “500 Days of Summer” is an uber-smash hit, with it getting tons of “It’s the next _____” (Juno, Garden State, Little Miss Sunshine, Slumdog Millionaire, Geico Caveman campaign, etc.) buzz. It stars Joseph Gordon-Leavitt and Zooey Deschanel and has the tag...

One Way Or The Other
Hell hath no fury like a dude who’s been waiting to release a movie for a handful of years but can’t seem to get a studio behind him, but the Spike Jonze/Dave Eggers “Where The Wild Things Are” appears to be moving forward inch by inch. Spike’s skateboard company, Girl, has announced limited edition skate decks, which also serve as our first real look at all the...

star wars retold
brian diaz, guitar tech extroadinaire, tipped me off to this wonderful video. it’s an animated re-telling of the original star wars trilogy, explained by a girl who’s never actually watched all 3 films in their entirety. almost as good as the real thing… Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

There's Always Money In The Banana Stand!
With the Arrested Development movie getting the full green light yesterday (Michael Cera, if you do not return, I swear I will punch you in the face anywhere I see you. Be it on the street, at a concert, in a CiCi’s Pizza, etc.), I figured we could celebrate the good news here at Clandestinish. While looking for images, I found out about Dean Fraser, and his Springfield Punx project....

More Than Meets The Ears
Couldn’t resist posting what looks to be the coolest thing coming out of Toy Tokyo Forum 2009, the result of some serious co-branding between Disney and Transformers. Beautifully designed (while still keeping the rough play, child aesthetic and functioning), with a price tag around $40, I’m already reserving shelf space. You? seen at /Film.

The Best Part
I really only like the first 3 weeks of American Idol. When people try out, and most of them are whack jobs. But yes, there will always be good singer highlights (i.e. the blind dude, the guy with the really dangerous job, the girl named “Lil’ Rounds”), but we obviously tune in for the car crashes. But I think I want to add a new reason to watch the try-out weeks on American...

Shoutout to Lafayette Elementary in Holly Grove
You might think my favorite part of Lil’ Wayne’s new interview in GQ is when he calls Pete,“Pete Weiss” at first (isn’t Pete Weiss my accountant’s name?), or the fact that Terry Richardson, my favorite photographer took the shots. You might even assume my favoritepart is when he says his favorite book is a dictionary or that he doesn’t remember the...

Slow and Low
Outside of running Clandestine Industries and it’s ever so imminent relaunch, I also co-own Gallery 1988 (gallery1988.com), and more specifically am the Gallery Director for the the Los Angeles location, where we recently held Pete and Travis’s exhibit, “Without You I’m Just Me,” so don’t act like you don’t know. Last Thursday night, we opened an art show...

As I plan on letting off some serious steam tonight by seeing a 3-D showing of “Bolt” (for the second time), I’m eagerly anticipating the next time I can see a new cartoon movie in 3 dimensions (don’t suggest NBC’s “Chuck” on Superbowl Sunday). And we’ve already talked about Coraline here on Clandestinish, but what about these: Nike and the film...

prince: my hero
i’ve always been overly fascinated by artists that are prolific but borderline crazy (eg. r. kelly, morrissey) but no one can really trump prince. most people have heard the pickup basketball game at paisley park story from chappelle’s show but kevin smith probably wins for most thorough, crazybrains prince story told on record. anyhow, prince recently shut down his fan club site...

Brandi Milne and the Wet Seal Process
So when Pete and the Powers That Be asked me to become the brand & design manager at the relaunched Clandestine a few months back, one of the few artists I knew we had to work with was Orange County, CA native Brandi Milne. She’s a regular at my other job (yes, I’m sort of Jamaican and also totally into stereotype-based humor), showing numerous times at Gallery 1988: LA and SF, as...

Stumbled on this totally awesome necklace by Trashy Deluxe. In the tradition of Sarah Jessica Parker’s name medallion jewelry on “Sex and the City,” this piece takes it one step further (and better), spelling out one of my favorite child insults of all-time, “Gaywad.” Please, someone sport this immediately, especially if that’s your name. Purchase and learn...

Line Them Up.
Thanks to NotCot.com, I found out about the Wordlock, and I feel like my Saturday is more productive because of it. Since I’m brutal remembering numbers, usually most obvious when I’m walking around a parking garage for 3 hours thinking to myself, “I know I parked on some sort of slope,” this seems like a serious MUST BUY. I’ve always wanted to unlock my bike by...

New pictures from Spike Jonze’s “Where The Wild Things Are” movie… Does this mean that the movie (which is penned by Dave Eggers btw) is finally coming out? Be still jaded heart cause I’m hoping this isn’t gonna be the movie version of Chinese Democracy.

Open Letter
A new graphic that Pete may, or may not have, posed on his blog the other night. Anyway, that’s another brick in the relaunch wall. It really can’t come quick enough.
