Weather Change

Went over to Orisue HQ tonight to shoot some online products for Fall 08' part 2. The new digs are super sweet-jackets, denim, pullovers and more jackets. Mike and the gang never seem to disappoint. Fall is definitely fast approaching, and I cant freakin' wait!

Lovin the new softbox!

Fall not only means the weather will be changing but it also means the bass fishing is likely to be killer. Speaking of which, I'll be in Mission Bay this weekend camping and doing some kayak fishing-hopefully we can snag a few. I'll keep you posted!

Have a nice Friday and weekend everyone.

Fall and Rise

Met with Phantom last night to discuss some upcoming marketing campaigns for Tikko. If you don't know of this man, you must've been sleeping under a rock or something hah. Celebrating his 10th yr of design, he's worked with major clients in the automotive and commercial industries including HIN, Jonari Corporation, The Attic, Boogiezone Inc, NOOE, Wildboyz of SD, and Proof Positive LA to name a few. 

Known for his speciality marketing and branding, Thomas has become the premiere designer for our generation of established companies and upcoming organizations. He has definitely been busy with his own personal projects so it was great to spend some time and brainstorm a bit.

Tikko Studios | Phantom coming soon...Stay tuned!

NOOE Style Watch

 Some of you may know but I actually own a pop up fashion boutique called Neveroddoreven (NOOE) based out of the Melrose Trading Post. We've been working on a few new developments, one in which incorporates documenting the different styles and trends seen in Melrose every Sunday. 

This past weekend was the first part of series of our style watch, so check it out! 

As seen on the NOOE Blog.

Check out our booth every Sunday, Melrose and Fairfax! We sell one of kind pieces from local designers from Hong Kong, Korea and Japan! Online store coming soon...

RIOT 5

I met Jeffrey Tang about 5 years ago. Some people I knew were rocking these tees,with some pretty bold graphics and elaborate colors. It was catching on and I was interested to see what this whole hoopla was about..turns out the man behind the brand was none other than Jeff himself. Always the artist, JTang from the beginning had a very subtle clean style to his designs, a crisp sense of imagery and a tasteful, classy look.  You could always count on something solid to come about through the drawing board. And not to mention he is definitely one the coolest people you'll ever meet, so I knew our collabo was gona be chillin like a villain. 

Tikko Studios was honored to collabo with RFV for the second time and to have all the homies come support was definitely a huge treat. 

Here are few clicks of some behind the scenes!

Meet and Greet

Had a nice dinner meeting with a really dope photographer the other day. I actually met and heard of Erich Chen through friends and different events. Within the small community of photographers that I know and admire, this guy is probably one of the most legit. His work is sickk and not to mention he's definitely one of the most down to earth guys I've met, no exaggeration! Take a look at his most recent project, www.jasonanderich.com, and you'll know what I'm talking about hah. 

Anyways, we had some Dennys and talked photography, great times for sure! Definitely looking forward to some project collaborations down the line. 

thumbs up

burgers and fries, smiles all around

Our waitress was telling us about her recent trip to Sequoia and just happened to have her camera with her. Thats a big ass tree!

And on the way back to my house..

Frank G. Boneli

Had a small break today from mass editing and took my cousin Nicola fishing. I've been reeling and dealin since 96' and in all the lakes I've come across, Puddingstone is by far the most challenging.  You can usually manage to land a few, but more times than not, you go home empty handed. Either way, its always nice to pay a visit to Frank G. Boneli (park that is) and appreciate the home in which my fishing career began.

Here are a few clicks, enjoy!

Nice morning overcast, and some random geese? ducks? on the first dock we went to
