I'm into everything Cars, Architecture and Design. I was Born in 1972 in San Francisco. In 1986, I was into breaking, graffiti, and djing. I've worked for agencies for almost a decade, worked for big brands like Gap and most recently was the Global Digital Lead for Nike Sportswear. I founded Fatlace in 1999 and create things.

Flying High
February 7, 2010 – 2:15 am | 3 Comments | submitted by mark fatlace

From the land of the sun, our custom dyed banners are now in transit. We’ll be flying these along with a fatlace banner proud at the meets and shows this year. So stoked to have these coming in as I’ve been wanting to design and make these just for my garage. There may be a few popping up in the Emporium so be on the lookout.

Class@ASR – Native Shoes
February 4, 2010 – 10:24 am | No Comment | submitted by mark fatlace

These are probably the most anticipated shoes in the next few months. How many of you have gone to the Croc store and tried them on cause your kids and/or friends parents have said how comfortable they were. You slip your foot in and immediately feel the comfort and at the same time, see how chunky the shoes are…

Well, Native Shoes are your answer to a stylish version of that chunky mess. They have 3 other styles, Wallabee, Vans, and Chuck styles but I personally love the boot and can’t wait to get these in our store.

Ran into Del and Bukue today just as I was headed into ASR. Rapped a bit about some upcoming projects with our camps so make sure to check back daily to see how it all unfolds.

Fatlace Studio
February 3, 2010 – 1:31 am | No Comment | submitted by mark fatlace

I want to name the new Studio something like the Waffle House and although we do serve up the hotness, we really dont serve hotcakes. aBrandApart? Help me name it. @fatlace is my twitter. hit me on it.

Here’s a few photos of the new Fatlace Studio where we’ll be grinding this year. I wanted a space where you can be creative with inspiration around me at all times whether its watching the best of Spike Jonze videos or cutting up the one’s and two’s. It’s still missing a few things but its good for now. Thanks to everyone who made this 2 day move quick and easy.

Command Center. If we have an open house or a party here, you better come with skills.

See More photos on the original post and comment there. I use this blog for my personal thoughts and as an archive for all my blogs throughout the site.

We’re still deciding on using the old studio for a 2x month warehouse sale. We’ll keep you posted.

I HEART SKYLINE
February 1, 2010 – 12:40 am | 2 Comments | submitted by mark fatlace

I’m in LOVE with the Skyline KPGC10 GTR. If I get rid of the bus, I’d be half way to owning a replica! :) These will be available in a few weeks. Thanks Kenny & Leslie!

and this isnt a font if you were wondering. its custom letters minus the A which was still manipulated.
