NIKE ANGELINO EXHIBIT AT THE POINT - LA

Nike invited me to be part of their Angelino photoshoot a few weeks back. This past Thursday was the opening celebration for the exhibit going down at The Point. It was a fun photoshoot as we could bring in props to spice things up. I brought in a bunch of AF1 pairs that are deadstock, so I just wrapped those around my neck and played gangsta for about 10 minutes. I got to iD a pair during the night and hopefully I'll get the pair that I designed this time. hahaha. It took a little bit trying to find all the pics of myself, but once you found one, they all started to pop out.

Big ups to Len, Dennis and the crew. What up big Arsen and Jupiter aka Mr. Cameraman for the night.

Enjoy.

The Social Trust Holloween Bash!

Went to go support the homie PSun and crew with the wifey on Holloween night, and also to meet up with Emmy from Fatlace. It was a great turnout. It's good to see the community support TST, especially with New Era sending over some Monster Pack caps to give away. Unfortunately I played the "too old for costume" card and came as good ol' Ric. Next year I'll do it up for sure.

Big ups to PSUN for making it happen and to Dana (New Era) for their support.

I've been lagging on posting pics but I finally get a chance to breathe so here you go...

Enter if you dare...

So I finally made it back home. I heard we missed a heatwave out in LA... oh well, we were fine in our hi-70's out in Brooklyn.

Jason and I had a blast. A very productive trip with tons of new projects on the horizon. Big ups to Jess, John, Squirt and Sushi for allowing us to invade their space. This was Jason's first time out there so you know we had to do the sight seeing thang... Also, big ups to everyone we had meetings with, shared drinks with, had dinner, had lunches with, to those we bumped into on the streets and big ups to all the stores that had sales going on... hahahaha.

Finally back on the smash. It's been a minute since I last posted and in the absence of all the blogging... I got married out in the beautiful island of Oahu! A beautiful morning/afternoon ceremony and reception all set outdoors. Were blessed to have such great weather.

Big ups to everyone who made it out and a special thanks to my new wifey for taking the big leap with me. It was fun, hot and plenty of grinds... but now back to biz.

Stay tuned... some fun events coming up.

Here's some pics from the BIG DAY. Courtesy of my man Eric Pascual. North Shore represent!! Congrats on the second little one homie!

JASON MARKK IN JULY ISSUE OF DUB MAGAZINE!

I love it when print press comes in, especially for SecretEmpire brands. Check it out, the Jason Markk cleaning kit makes it in the July 07' issue of DUB Magazine. It's hard work breaking new brands and products into the market and we rely on the support from those who understand our mission. So when press comes in, you best believe we appreciate it! Big ups to JRod for making it happen.

Good friends and designers of the Jason Markk website as well as the SecretEmpire logo, 530medialab, did a special collab tee with TheHundreds. Only 53 made and sold exclusively through TheHundreds website. But guess what... they're already sold out.

Big ups to 530ml and TH.

Peep the Nike Max Air slippers TI is rockin'...

LOGAN HICKS FAREWELL LA SHOW

So Jason (JasonMarkk.com) and I headed out to meet up with long time friend Logan Hicks and support his last show in LA, til the next one. It was good seeing Logan, and after all these years he's finally making the big move to NY. His art has come along way from the kicks he use to stencil to now full on landscape pieces. I'm honored to be a friend and proud to have seen him grow to global status. And to think... this is only the beginning.

Big ups to Logan for another great show. The pieces are amazing! Good luck in NY.
