Shepard Fairy x Obama

A little something I got in the mail today...Shepard Fairy x Obama Campaign Poster & Stickers!!


Shepard Fairy first released the Obama Hope and Progess posters a few weeks back. Select few received them, and they quickly sold out on Obey’s site when they were released to the public.

“I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation. He is for healthcare reform. Check him out for yourself www.barackobama.com. Proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign.

Thanks.

-Shepard Fairy”

Our Spot

Took some bulding shots today, in hopes that it will better help you understand exactly where we are located. I'm sure if you grew up in Hawaii, you know exactly where we are...in the "rainbow" color building aka Hawaiian Life Building. Or as some of us can remember the old Radio-Free Hawaii Spot. Either way most of us are much more visual.

If you are headed EAST bound on KAPIOLANI Blvd we will be on the RIGHT, PASS AutoSource, PASS the PIIKOI & KAPIOLANI intersection and take a RIGHT into our Parking Lot. (Before Venus & Olounge)

If you are headed NORTH bound on PIIKOI (One Way Street), after you pass ALAMOANA & PAYLESS/BLOCKBUSTER (Kona Street), Stay on your far RIGHT and turn RIGHT into the Parking Lot which is BEFORE the PIIKOI & KAPIOLANI intersection.

Hope this information helps, if you get lost or need directions, don't hesitate to call us #808.593.9699.

Aloha&Mahalo!

REBEL8

Introducing Rebel8 , illustrations by artist Mike Giant. Founded in 2003, REBEL8 is a lifestyle brand focused on the creation of high-integrity lowbrow art products with mass-appeal. REBEL8 manifests a lifestyle built on community, artistic integrity, and respect. Every REBEL8 graphic is hand-illustrated by Mike Giant.
So how did it go down? Partners Joshy D. and Mike Giant met in the late 1990’s in San Francisco’s then bustling graffiti scene. Josh ran the popular graffiti website, HiFiArt, and Mike was one of the city’s most notorious writers. Years later, and having had some experience with a previous clothing venture, Josh approached Mike about creating a handful of t-shirt graphics. Mike agreed, and a small batch of shirts was made. Josh sold those shirts out of a messenger bag around the city, and REBEL8 was born. Now available at EXCLUSIVE.

Artist Proof

Aloha!
Our first in-store Art Show featuring homie, Pancho Abalos. I met this kat back in 2005, through my moms who use to work for the same company. I'm sure you've seen his work, or maybe his influences out there. But let me say, he is original, his style is distinctive, and he's color schemes are endless. Before he moves to LA this summer, we wanted to dedicate an art show to him. Saturday, March 22, from 5:00pm - 9:00pm at exclusive we will be featuring "Artist Proof" by Pancho Abalos as well as a shirt collaboration, you don't want to sleep on. Art Show is free and open to the public, see you there!
"Pancho Abalos work displays a lush imagination, and a vast conceptual grasp. He merges plants, cityscapes and human introspection in powerful organic paintings rich with color and immediacy.

PANCHO was born in Quezon city, Philippines. He grew up moving all over but always was rooted in his love for cartoons, hip-hop and graffiti. Influences range from Transformers to Samurai Champoo. He studied Graphic Design at Bob Jones University, in Greenville South Carolina. He attributes his past 6 years of Hawaii living with inspiring a new level of mastery and technique.

PANCHO has achieved success in his Oahu shows including his live murals in the Ground Up Movement. He has shown in Los Angeles, the Philippines and has received several awards in juried exhibitions. His work will be seen around the world with major interest in showing in New York, Europe and Tokyo." -via Ong King
