SIMPLE THINGS

Sitting on the bay with the boys... It does not get

more simple or rewarding than this... SS

Cool Mopar, and how about the serious high beams... SS

SMOOTHEST of ALL

This is the benchmark... Francis S.

Wow, this is a turned out vibe... N.K. Cole

SMOOTH

An amazing portrait of an amazing original... J. Cash

FEELS LIKE SUMMER

This weekend was stellar weather in this part of the country... Makes you want to get out on the ocean... Recession or not, if you want to do it, you will figure it out... Stand Firm

  

T. ADLER

This dude is a master book guy...Check out his publishing chops... SS

HOT PANTS

So, I think it's time to lighten the mood, and nothing

does that better than a killer pair of hot pants... 

Sign me up for some hang time out on the deck... SS

MR. SHAWN MORTENSEN

Wow, what a sucker punch of sad news... A real one of a kind

brother passed away in Los Angeles this week... Shawn has been

a buddy since way long ago, when he took some shades from

my old joint to Jamaica and came back with plenty shots of local 

guys smiling and grooving. One creative guy that will be dearly 

missed by many... Damn, shit sucks... SS

CLOSE UP

This is a close up of some art that we have been very
close to for many years... To have lived with the energy
has been quite a treat... Dig the arts... SS

DREAM STOREFRONT

Okay, if someone said they would bankroll the dream situation that had nothing to do with actually making money, this would be my storefront... Step up and browse the wares, cash only... We don't need no stinking computer inventory program...Straight out the jungle, the jungle, the brothers, the brothers... SS

ATTITUDE

Attitude is everything... SS

GRANDPA FRED

Hanging out with grandpa... I always remember cruising in his garage with his great workbench building stuff...In this great future, don't forget your past... SS

MADRAS IS HUGE

So the market place is choke full of traditional madras...
In my humble opinion, nobody is even close to sporting it
with the turned out style of this young lad... Let's not overlook
the ringer tee, and of course, the p-rods are fly... Watch out
mr. Satorialist... SS

GOOFING AROUND

Have been doing some quick collage work lately... Putting together stuff that has been sitting around... Sometimes a cool thing comes together... SS

FIRST STICKER

1980... This is the first window sticker (decal, for those of a certain vintage) I did for my first adventure... It was one of those old school jobs that you floated in water until it let loose of the backing paper, then you would slide it on your car window, outside of glass only... Even then I needed to go find a place that would make this style... After this sticker, it was only the new peel off stuff that is used today... What, I feel like freaking Magellan here from the old world...

EGG HUNT

Out in the yard today on the annual egg hunt with the boys... Came across this little nugget buried in the flowers... SS

TRES AMIGOS

Syndicate crew stopped by the studio...
We talked story and got caught up on things...
Soon we will update you all on the shoe we have coming...
Big shout to Berto, Lou and Rian... SS

S/DOUBLE STADIUM SHOE

Check out the second color in our service shoe series... We are calling it the STADIUM shoe, inspired by traditional, natty ass college life... When the developing counter culture had only the ivy league style to pull from to develop their new vibe... Worn by English Lit. professors, students and dropouts alike, they made their way west, ending up in L.A jazz clubs as well as the Malibu pit... This classic deserves a fresh look, as we have chunked up the curves to give it a solid stance on whatever coast you hang... They will be available sometime in June, when our S/DOUBLE site will be ready for action... Stay tuned... SS

TIMELESS COOL

FURNITURE SHOPPING

Kelly stopped by the studio to check things out...

Ended up leaving with a good stash of furniture for 

the cottage... Great to see things continue to have 

a life with others... Reuse, Recycle... SS

BACK TO WORK

Well, roadtrip over... Time to get back to work...

I will leave you with these two classic beauties...

Check back in soon... Cheers... SS
