Rocking My NEW T-shirt

So I just released a new t-shirt, "Do the Love Thing", which was suppose to be a women's release but due to a mistake from the local whole supplier they gave the screenrpinter a mens american apparel large. I actually wear a extra large mens shirt but I made it work. Peep the footwork those are the Jordan "Do the Right Thing" Spiz'ike this is the first time I ever worn them. Kiss deadstock goodbye (muah). That was my best jadakiss impression lol. Check out the photo below, this was the first shot that @nudy took. I guess you know why they call me son now

BOBBY HUXTABLE

I call this look "Bobby Huxtable". The weather in Cincinnati is very interesting one day it might be 84 degrees and the next day it's 55. This was one of those days. As I got dressed that morning a strange feeling of deja vu came over me. I don't know if this situation actually happened to me or its something I watched on "The Cosby Show" but this is what ran through my head as I got dressed and I know most people can relate to it. In high school I never really dressed according to weather outside. I was more concerned with my look as I walked through the halls. So i threw on my Nudie jeans and Jeremy Scott x Adidas. BTW these might be my favorite shoes I nicknamed them "Red Bull". Back to the story and then I ironed a black American Apparel t-shirt. I looked in the mirror and I was feeling myself and then I reached for my Corporate fitted (Yeah I finally copped my first Corporate fitted. I been wanting one of these for the longest. It seems like every time Corporate releases a hat it sells out in a day) grabbed my Northface bookbag and was ready to go. This is when the deja vu kicked in. I could almost hear my mom telling me to make sure I get some breakfast and I could see her looking at my outfit and saying "I know you not about to go outside like that. It's cold outside, get a jacket." This is the pivotal moment where I had to make a decision. I hate having to wear coats in May and it wasn't cold enough to warrant wearing an actual coat. So what to wear. This is that moment where your mom wont let you leave the house unless you have something that will keep you warm. This is when your mom suggest you wear one of your dad's cardigan and your mad for two reasons right now. 1st you think you're too old for your mom to still be dressing you and 2nd your too cool to be wearing one of your dad's cardigans. You probably don't even know what a cardigan is at this point. So you wear the cardigan and head to school. To your surprise everyone is digging your outfit from the hat to the shoes. You're even getting a good amount of compliments on your cardigan the same one you were too cool for earlier. The funniest part of this scenario is you take credit for everything. I love this look because its clean and simple. Your not freezing outside in attempt to look cool no pun intended. And you wearing a Bill Cosby like cardigan without looking like an old man.

HOW TO SCREENPRINT

Meet Brandon and Alex they own and operate SouthPaw Prints. They are located on 1425 main st. Cincinnati, OH. You are probably familiar with their work and you don't even know it. They printed my "no days off" and "love attracts all" t-shirts and they even printed my homie Seven's logo t-shirts for his tattoo shop. Today we will learn how to screen print. First I bring them my graphic usually as psd file and all they layers should be separated by color. So for instance in this shirt there was a screened burned for all the yellow elements and etc. Then they lay ink over the screen and lay the shirt down as flat as possible and then press up each shirt. The continue the process they have pressed up each screen to you get your final design. Then they put it this oven. The shirt passes through and then its done. You can order your t-shirt here. Hurry up and Buy there are only 25 of them.
