The Imaginary Zebra - Series III Popcorn Tee
Benson, a true inspiration and friend of mine, was nice enough to ask Mingi and I to model for his upcoming release, Series III. Benson is the mastermind behind The Imaginary Zebra, a clothing company centered around the stimulation creativity. I don't want to reveal any pictures yet before Benson has already posted them, so here are some shots of the shirt I was asked to model.
The "Popcorn" shirt in all its yummy goodness.
The creative supplements are a nice touch to an already intricate design.
I see what you did there. ;)
The back has changed from previous releases. Dream like you mean it.
Also different from previous releases is the branding tag. You can read more about Benson's tag development here.
Be on the lookout when TIZ drops Series III on October 17th!
P.S. The Imaginary Yeti might not be so imaginary in the near future. ;)

SB 1449 Passes!
MMMHMMM IS RIGHT! Yesterday, Arni signed into law a bill changing possession of up to an oz. of herb from a misdemeanor to $100 infraction in CA. This means going Off The Planet cannot get you arrested and does not go on your criminal record. Great success indeed.

Prop 19 is on the ballots in Nov. If it passes smoking in public or around minors will go back to being misdemeanors. Unless it is amended to fit new state legislation I don't see how anyone can vote for a step backwards.
Anyway check out the video for Flying Lotus - MmmHmm. OTP for sure!

Abominable Apparel x Rws Skate x A Very Nice Design Studio Charity Skateboard Deck
Before getting into breakdancing, I used to skate back in middle school and for a part of high school. Although I was never really good at it, I did enjoy it a lot. I made new friends, tested my own physical limits and had something to invest in as a kid. When the skatepark first opened in my hometown, I was ecstatic beyond belief. No more harassment from cops and finally a place to hone one's skills among like-minded people.
The skatepark has long since closed and I've personally moved on to breakdancing, but skating and skate culture are still very much alive. Kids out there need safe places to skate, but money is sometimes a deal-breaker when it comes to opening up a skate-park in a town. Other times, city officials don't care where kids skate and would rather allocate the money elsewhere.
To solve these issues, Abominable Apparel, Skate Rws, and A Very Nice design studio has gotten together to design a charity fund-raiser skateboard deck. Over 50% of the profits from the deck will go toward funding skateparks. Currently, the focus of this project is on Watts, CA, but with your help, we can fund many other skateparks across California and maybe even the nation someday.
If you're in the market for a new skateboard deck and want to help out a great cause benefiting fellow skaters, check out the deck on eBay.

Battle at the Buzz 3, UC Davis
Battle at the Buzz, in a word, was intense. I entered with two friends from me and Wesley's old crew, Hip Hop Movement. We def had some first round jitters, but you gotta start somewhere, right? Below is the video of our battle (we're on the left) and some pics from the night. Can't wait until the next jam, Eye for an Eye.
Mycool (Yellow), Justin Abang (Red), and myself, Slick (White Yetipack tee), representing that Hip Hop Movement.
