This piece still makes me laugh every time I see it.

Say hello to the first clothing drop from our friends WLDWLVS, and congratulate them on creating a collection that’s not boring as (ass) shit. We’re currently swamped with T releases (c’mon…it’s true), but the awesome designs from Stu Allen, Mike Chang & Craig Barrowman that feature in this drop, make it a collection after our own heart.
“WLDWLVS hails from Aberdeen, Scotland and started as a blog dedicated to raising the profile of talent in the North-East. We now promote artists, illustrators, film makers, skateboarders and anyone with talent from all over the globe. The t-shirts are an extension of this and through them we are introducing the work done by local folks to greater audiences. Everyone gets a fair cut and profits from sales with be used to fund the next tee drop and in turn showcasing another great batch of artists.” – WLDWLVS.

Errr, what can I say apart from Trash Talk KILLED it last week at The Croft, Bristol (UK). I’m kinda glad some bloke at the front told me I was stood in a bad position (directly under a speaker)…he said I’d get broken…he was right…night wouldn’t have been so good if I’d been carried away on a stretcher. Fuck having any security at this show. The stage was filled with air punching nutters, and the speaker had a constant flow of semi naked dudes diving off it into the crowd. Outside afterwards we were told, “Go smash up your own city!” by an old man, who was pissed about the DIY skate ramp made out of a wheelie bin and a piece of the wall (which had just been ripped off, solely for this purpose). Was such a good night (that ended up pretty silly), and it was rad to meet Lee, Garrett & Spencer who dropped by You’re Not Human prior to the show to pick up some pieces from the store (Witchcraft & Creature reppin’). Come back n see us soon, yo.
The upcoming ‘Life & Death in Black & White’ Exhibition based in Cleveland, Ohio (Nov 12th) will feature a collective of over 20 artists from around the globe (including our UK friends Scott Move & Jimbob Isaac). All pieces will focus on, and be inspired by ‘Life & Death’…an interesting concept, and we’re excited to see the show…anyone wanna buy us flights to Ohio?
“Life & Death in Black & White” is a collection of today’s finest graphic illustrators, album cover artists, comic artists, tattoo artists, etc depicting their view of life and death . L/D in B/W means to showcase the time, detail, dedication and imagination put forth by these national and local artists and bring them and the art of illustration the full credit and appreciation that it has always rightly deserved”.
