Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Anchors Aweigh

Drank way too much Patron with Bryan from the Bouncing Souls.

Show time.

Smart shirt.

Fuck you anyway.

The best one out of the lot from Giant's Confessions Of An Old Dirty Skateboarder.

Still hungry.

Happy Friday!

Remember Me?

I almost forgot how to blog! Let's see. Hmm. Food, check.

Still prefer old schools.

SF is still the place to be [if you're homeless].

Graffiti still happens [sometimes].

The 90's are [still] back.

And the 8 is great forever and ever.

I'm [kinda] back! I did miss you. Know that.

My Bikes

I currently have two bikes, both built by Tom Schoeniger of 4130 Bicycles. I've been riding the basket bike for about 3 years and I just got the truck bike.

Last Thursday I loaded up the truck bike and rolled over to Guerrero Gallery to paint the front gate.

On Sunday I linked up with my homie Ken Davis who's riding around on this really nice custom Shorty Fatz bike. Check out Ken's sign work. He's amazing.

New Posters

Big thanks to all of you that met me at Bloom Press on Friday night. Oakland was crackin'!

I don't have any future events planned right now. Just working away in the studio. Thanks for the support!

World Champs

The World Champs capsule collection is now available in very limited quantities online. I'm loving these new designs!

The below photo is from a 7-mile walk I did yesterday in San Francisco. It was posted on our Instagram (@REBEL8) with the title, SF Born N Bred. Make sure you follow @REBEL8 on all social media (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram). I tend to post a lot more there than on this blog unfortunately.

Happy Monday! Happier shopping!

This Weekend

Hey REBEL8ers! Sorry I haven't been blogging. Just been hanging out in my studio - drawing, smoking and reading.

I'm throwing a poster party at Bloom Press in Oakland this Friday night. I'll be at 2310 Telegraph Ave from 6-9pm. I'm releasing three new poster designs and they're only $20 each at the event. For more info check out the Bloom Press site.

And join me Saturday night at Guerrero Gallery here in SF for the opening of the September Group Show. Should be a banger!

Bottoms Up

Fall '12 D1

Fall '12 is currently selling through our authorized stockists and in our online store. Here are a few of the tees from delivery one. Click the images.

The classic, the original, Logo Tee. Now available in heather grey.

SF Vacation is one of my favorite tees we've ever produced. I think it took Giant a long time to draw this one up and it shows. The orange & black version bangs.

The black & white version ain't bad either.

I've really been feeling a simpler approach to REBEL8. After nine years of wearing heavily illustrated tees, I have found a new appreciation for simplicity and understated graphics. The Worldwide Tee delivers perfectly.

Often Imitated, Never Duplicated is one of our main phrases this season. I think it speaks for itself. Represent REBEL8 in the Bite The Bullet Tee.

We are all truly Blessed.

That's my arm! No seriously, Giant photoed my arm then illustrated it. He also added a snake.

A second phrase this season is Heavy Weighs The Crown.

This one is called High Noon.

All City II showcases Giant's never-ending incredible handstyles.

All these tees and more are currently selling in our online shop and shipping worldwide.

Fall Is Coming

My apologies for not blogging. I've been busier than usual with clearing our warehouse out and getting Fall '12 in. I have however had time to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram (#REBEL8). Here is a snippet of what is shipping to stockists worldwide today and dropping online next Monday.

Oh! And shout out to Travis Mills for always spreading that 8.

Happy Friday!
