Insomnia.
Insomnia (n.) - When one cannot sleep until that one idea is down on paper, or Photoshop in this case, so as not to forget it in the morning. Hopefully I'll have a few mockups that you guys can take a gander at tomorrow afternoon. I'm getting kind of excited for Spring/Summer '11: ) Also, if you'd like, follow the Tumblr for more day-to-day dealings.
My Promise To You.
On this day, October 30th of two-thousand and ten, I, The Dealer, pledge to post every pesky thought that floats through my brain...ok, maybe not. However, I do plan on becoming a more dedicated blogger. How else will you get a firm grasp on the scope that is dope., without photos/video from my day-to-day life? (Reeeeaching) Anyways, here goes nothing!
*I also pledge that the photos will be a little more interesting. Haha
A Word From The Dealer.
I was reading the newest issue of Juxtapoz magazine and got inspired. There was a spread about Barbara Kruger, the graphic artist that's the inspiration behind streetwear giant Supreme's iconic logo among others in the industry. Anyway, it really got me thinking. This is so much bigger than just tees. It's a brand, it's a lifestyle. It's an opportunity to bring what I've seen and love in larger, more metropolitan areas, to Louisiana. The market is here. We're here. And everything that we do is an extension of this brand. Because we're here to do a lot more than sell tees.

Someone Say (dope.) Hoodie?
So we took the design drawn in the "Accelerated." video and tried it out in a few different colorways for a dope. hoodie...only we can't decide which two to print. >_<
