A wickedly cute fitted hoodie from San Francisco's Loyal Army, this thing is lined, double-thick, and super soft and comfy. Rad!

"Rooftops" Print by Julia Kuo
First to recommend
Description
Julia Kuo is one of our favorite local artists, and we're stoked to finally stock some of her prints. She's working on a clothing line as well and believe us when we say it will be some of the cutest stuff you've ever seen!
This particular print deals with one of our favorite themes, which is the constant struggle between nature and the "civilized" world. Make up your own mind about who's winning, but certainly take a moment to enjoy this beautiful image from an up-and-coming artist.

Inked Pulp Print - 64 Colors
First to recommend
Description
Character designers 64 Colors worked up this awesome, almost baroque Marshall (that's the little marshmellow-shaped guy in the middle) design for this letter pressed print made by Squibbles Ink side project "Inked Pulp." Gold ink on cream-colored watercolor paper. Paper size of 10x8 inches and an image size of 8.5 x 6.5 inches. Signed and numbered edition of 100.
We absolutely love letter-press! Cards, prints, packaging, all of it! And we are also huge fans of cute, and of marshmallows. So really, this is a total winner in our books.

WildChild Indigo Denim T-Shirt - Sidney Lo Edition
First to recommend
Description
Steve just picked up one of these, and it's supremely weird and awesome!
First off, it really is a t-shirt. Made out of denim. Lightweight denim (7 oz) but still....it's made of denim. And it's raw, so the longer we wears it, the more it's eventually going to fade like a pair of jeans.
Incredibly odd, but also incredibly cool. Another win from San Francisco's Self Edge.
From their site:
* 100% Pure Indigo Dyed Denim / White Oak Black Seed Cone Denim
* Pima Cotton Fill Denim
* Sanforized Denim (will not shrink much)
* Tan Leather Hang Tag
* V-Neck Design
Photographer Sidney Lo, the man behind the What Are You Wearing Today? project and a forthcoming book in conjunction with the online fashion community Superfuture brings his signature touch to the Wild Child Denim T-Shirt, a V-Neck Edition.
The famous denim t-shirt by Wild Child, if you're here reading this, you probably have been following the progress surrounding this release. Almost one year of edits and remakes later, Wild Child delivers the world's first denim t-shirt.
A 100% pure indigo dyed pima cotton denim with a tan leather hang tag make up this first product release from Wild Child & Co.
The denim really comes to life and softens up quite a bit with some wear and washing, and will fade and age just like a pair of jeans (and so will the tan leather tag). Due to the weave and shade of the denim, this t-shirt doesn't look as crazy as it sounds once you've worn it.
The shirt's fabric was cut on a bias and therefore the weave of the denim appears diagonally as opposed to vertically, this was done so that the denim would stretch sideways just like a normal t-shirt does.

Kidrobot - The Simpsons Mini Figures
First to recommend
Description
This is easily the most incredible team-up in history, other than Superman schtupping Wonder Woman in the "Kingdom Come" comic book series!
Kidrobot presents a new mini-figure series featuring 24 of your favorite Simpsons characters, plus 3 super-rare mystery figures!! WOO HOO!!!
Sold as a blind-box series, so you don't know which Simpsons character you'll get until you open the box. Homer? Bart? Mr. Smithers? Itchy? Scratchy? Who knows! Get a bunch of them and maybe you'll find your favorites....
And as a side note, check this out. Kidrobot didn't simply adapt the figures to fit the normal scale of their mini-figure series. Matt Groening actually re-drew ALL of the characters to fit their specs himself, and turned those drawings over to the Kidrobot sculptors.
Awesome? Absolutely!

Daniel Danger "all this hum..." Box Set
First to recommend
Description
Daniel Danger's work is filled with the most haunting images...from decrepit buildings to people who may or may not be ghosts to the kind of bare, skeletal trees that terrified you as a child.
Dark, atmospheric, and almost gleefully spooky, Daniel Danger is the kind of artist that Steve can't get enough of!
This limited edition (150 sets) box set contains:
-- Ten 6-Color Screenprints on Rising Stonehenge 250gsm Paper (10" x 10" image on 12" x 12" paper)
-- Two 2-Color Letterpress Prints on Cranes 134 Paper (10" x 10" image on 12 x 12 inch paper)
-- Vinyl Picture Disc LP with Home Recordings by Daniel (2000-2004)
-- Custom made and printed wooden box
-- All prints are signed and numbered
Considering that his prints generally start at $150 framed for each one, this is an incredible deal and a chance to pick up the work of an emerging artist at an absolute steal of a price.

Save Deth Yo-Yo DVD - Volume 1
First to recommend
Description
If you've ever seen an instructional yo-yo video, you've experienced what we like to call "bored to tears".
This is not an instructional video.
If you've ever had a yo-yo demonstrator come to your school, church, camp, library, or whatever then you've probably experienced what we like to call "ready to gouge your eyes out if you hear one more pun involving the word 'string'."
These guys are not like that.
Save Deth, a collaboration between internationally known yo-yo players Seth Peterson and Dave Poyzer, is an art collective dedicated to moving yo-yos forward as an art form rather than a refuge for the socially illiterate.
This, their first DVD, will teach you no tricks. It is meant to inspire, awe, confuse, and enlighten. You'll see yo-yoing as you've never seen it before.
With music by Of Montreal, The Envy Corps, and more.

Shoulder Satchel
2 people recommended this item
Description
Steve is a real sucker for high-end leather goods. Especially handmade in the USA leather goods. Especially re-workings of vintage pieces that have kept the essence of the original while making them more functional for modern life.
So this is really just an incredible piece.
From BillyKirk's website:
"Our hand-stitched shoulder satchel is modeled after a WWII Belgium Map Case we had. It was just too small for our use so we re-designed it and made ours larger. There is nothing else on the market like this. Each one takes a few hours to complete. One solid pieces of cow hide is stitched with heavy wax cording to form the satchel. We had all the hardware cast in white bronze. Comes with all leather adjustable strap with shoulder piece, dull silver rings and collar buttons. Hand-stitched detailing throughout. Oiled and edged. 9 3/4" X 11." Made in the USA."
Absolutely beautiful. (via Josh Spear)

"Black Forest Summer Camp" print by Chris Ryniak
First to recommend
Description
Chris Ryniak is one of the best kept secrets of Cleveland, Ohio. He's an unassuming guy with a wife and kids who lives out in the 'burbs and holds down a day job.
But when no one is looking, he's a flat-out genius. Painting, sculpting, and conceiving of some of the wildest and most bizarre creatures you've ever seen.
This print of his painting "Black Forest Summer Camp" is actually very sedate and damn near cute in comparison to some of his work. But you can see his trademark, a nasty little pink thing at the edge of the puddle, watching the deer leap.
One of the most under-rated stars of the lowbrow/contemporary/modern art scene. Snap up his work now while you can still afford it.
Trust us.

Ego DIY Plastic Figure
First to recommend
Description
Designed in Scotland, made in China, and now available in the U.S.!
This 3.5" tall do-it-yourself figure is the most articulated DIY toy we've ever seen! Eight (count 'em!) points of articulation including the jaw! Holy crap!
Made of hard ABS plastic, and it comes unassembled. Which is really good, because it's WAY easier to paint this little guy when he's in pieces!! Use paint, markers, whatever you want!
Super rad? Super YES.

Kids are people too. They're just smaller, and sometimes need helping wiping their butts. Plus, they can't drive worth a crap.
