Old time sake.

Just by chance on Saturday night a group of old friends got together to play a few drinking games and talk about which sexual moves they did or did not do over the course of their lifetimes. It turned out to be quite a good time and throughout the night, long time Essentials support Casey Casler won the marker tattoo of "free spirit". Oh yeah, and the fella behind him has Marilyn Manson nipples.

Dog man goes bat shit crazy.

This has nothing to do with fashion, art, or board riding. However, since Preston has been blowing it on the Tuesday Tickle here is some funny for Friday.

"Its 2 AM!"

For anyone out there in the Hollywood area, tonight is going to be mind blowing. Essentials Fam member Eric Deuel is having an art show off Melrose displaying a bunch of new work! If your in the area get over there and support. For more info on location check out www.ghettogloss.com

Wow Photo

When I saw this photo from Australian photographer Trent Mitchell I thought, is this a photo or a painting? I guess I will let you make the choice, but I am telling you it is a photograph. And a damn fine one.

George Bernard Shaw Quote

Every now and again I find something worth posting up here that is a real gem. I am very image oriented so words have to be very impactful for me to repeat them to you all. Anyway:

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
- George Bernard Shaw

Get out there and be unreasonable!

Ahhh The Good Ol' Days

I am posting this video because a guy by the name of Harley Perkins sent it to me and asked if this video is good enough for the Fam. Hell yes it is. Anything that shows people having fun at what they love to do is good enough for the Fam. It also reminds me of the sessions we used to have with friends back in the day! So when you see Harley ripping down the street in Essentials Gear instead of that rock concert shirt he is wearing in the video say "Go get em' Harley!"

King Hippo Had No Chance.

This image may or may not have something to do with one of our new shirts. Either way, it strikes up a few memories of the NES and Mike Tyson's Punch Out!

Surfing Magazine Cover

I am not one to dig on every magazine cover I see, but when I came upon this photo, it just reminded me of REAL freedom. In all truth, real freedom can only last that single instant before something takes the moment from you. Like when this guy gets spit out of this barrel and has to wait for his next ride. Enjoy that moment!

Great Photos from Adrianne Techasith

This L.A. based photographer puts together some very cool scenes out of plastic models and snaps the moment in time perfectly. Here are a couple samples, and check more out at http://www.adriannetechasith.com

Excuses, excuses.

It has been a minute since our last post, and for a couple of reasons. One, we have been working hard on designing some sick new designs that will look amazing on your chest. Two, Pat's jaw wasn't healing right (lucky him) and he had to go back into surgery to have it re-broken and do another attempt at fixing his face. What's more, he woke up in the middle of surgery and nearly went into cardiac arrest. Thank god he didn't! Hopefully this time the surgery works and we can all go out for a steak when he can chew again. So please keep him in your thoughts so he can heal faster!

King of the Hill Footage

Alright everyone. I posted a while back about them bringing the king of the hill contest back to snowboarding. Well, they did and here is a little footage I found of it. Travis Rice is absolutely killing it. Check the HUGE 720 in the middle of his run.

Couch surfing

My good friend Dan Bates shared this photo with me. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Thanks Dan

This is a video of Flying Lotus Remixing a little bit of Radiohead, and if you like either one of those acts, you should thoroughly enjoy this...

Essentials April Video

Art Rocks Radio Show Pics

I had the chance last night to watch Pat and Janica on the radio via the internet. Even though the stream of the video was pretty choppy, the audio came through just fine, and man did they kick some serious ass. Not to mention the MC's were loving every second while sporting some Essentials Gear. Nice work FAM!

Essentials on the Radio

Hey everyone listen in and watch as essentials talks to Art Rocks on the radio tonight. Tune in at 8pm west coast time at, www.sdonlineradio.com and check it out. Should be funny because I just got the wires out of my mouth and Im still learning how to talk again.
