| Representing London, UK |
I was asked to come out again to Bread & Butter to represent and support Monorex as we worked alongside Reebok. Sticking with the customizing theme, 6 artists were used to do what they do best. Teck 1, Jimi Crayon, Miss Led, Alfa, Stika and MR K were the chosen artists and made sure everyone that got a pair of Reebok’s, left with a smile!!
I hate dogs and they hate me. But this one’s a little different, so I made an exception. The guys at Nike sent over a box load of odds and a little while later got back a pooch, which is yet to be named. Suggestions on a postcard!
This latest project follows on from a long list of collaborations which include the likes of Vans, G-Shock, One True Saxon, Lucas Film and more recently X-Large, Fuct and Freshjive. The Addict X Rogue Status Method Zip 2-Tone Jacket brings together two iconic design elements. Addict’s classic Method Zip Hoody and Rogue’s infamous all-over Gun Show Print. The outcome, a strictly limited product that kicks and screams for both brands.
L.A based screen printers, Hit + Run, were in London showcasing their talents at the Oakley Design wrap up party. With a few extra days on their hands we were lucky enough to have them in store along with some specially prepared Addict screens to give customers a choice of prints for their tees.
Each person was in creative control of their tee, picking up to 3 designs and positioning them anywhere on the tee. The event was a huge success and made people realise how creative they can be if they put their mind to it!
Secret Wars London series 3 is coming to an end with the first Q-final stages already over. The first battle between Mr K and Sticka, saw Mr K progress to the semi-final and between Drunk Park also made it through by beating Tizer.

This was quite possibly, one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. The set design was cool and came straight out of the movie ‘The Navigator’. The sounds and music were spot on mixing old with the controversial new. The only thing to spoil it was Kanye’s rant about critics eating shit and dying!!?? And that reviewing his music was pointless because his album is a gift from him to the fans? He even compared it to recieving a jumper for xmas from a relative and then giving it a score out of 10!!
Last time I checked there was a price sticker labelled on the CD, meaning it was something I had to pay for, meaning it wasn’t a gift from Kanye to me, so I’d like to know what the critics thought of it before I parted with my hard earned cash. Apart from that slight slip, all was good!!
This SheOne and Addict enthusiast showed off his first tattoo in store. Giving the tattooist free reign and freedom to Interpret SheOne’s work meant it didn’t exactly come out right. But he was happy, so that’s all that matters…right?
Secret Wars were invited to the annual Google conference to showcase some of the best talents viewed on You Tube. There were beatboxers in the form of Beardyman, Breakdancers, skaters, singers and of course representing the street artists were the Monorex crew (Secret Wars).
