Spring Tank Theory Photo session

Zach did some photo shooting this weekend at his studio in Portland for the new Tank Theory gear that's dropping now. The direction for the spring/summer season is caricature.. cartoons if you will.. and their infiltration into almost every aspect of the world we live in.. These new tees are crazy.. probably some of the wackiest stuff we've ever released. They're definitely worth a gander. Check out www.tanktheory.com to peep some of the new spring/summer digs.

Best of the Beast!

Friend, design guru, and frequent Tank Theory contributor Dust La Rock, held a killer solo show in NY recently at the Christopher Henry Gallery. It was a packed house, all there to see the art director for Fool's Gold Records, flex his muscles. Heavy hitters the likes of A-Trak, Claw Money, and Eric Haze plus other industry giants were all in attendance..

If you haven't yet seen the show.. do so before it comes down!

Public Ad Campaign - revisited

You might remember Jordan Seiler from an ad campaign we ran a couple years back featuring his work and his philosophy.. Well we recently revisited Public Ad Campaign, the blog and website Jordan operates, for the first time in a while. Looks like Jordan has been keeping tabs on New York!



To reintroduce him, Jordan is an outdoor artist and activist against the violation of public space by big time media and advertising companies.. Jordan recontextualizes outdoor public advertisements with his own artwork and/or ideas.. shining a light on the infringement of billboards and the barrage of advertising into our daily lives. He also fights against illegal billboards in New York City, and on his blog generally comments on new technology in outdoor advertising and media. It is a great campaign and opens up the discussion over what is public space, who owns it, and who has access to it.
