upcoming gepetto sheeeeit

hey guys, quick update:

1) first&fifteenth beat tape series: on the first and fifteenth of every month, i drop a beat tape to get you through that time of month when you may be looking at your paycheck and feeling a little, well, depressed about your entire life.  Listen to some beats, it'll cheer you up.


2) fireflies EP with hand made packaging, delayed due to financial reasons, is still coming!
i'm scheming on a release show that is a combination music performance and visual art show featuring some of my hella talented friends.  Especially stoked to show you the photo series me and my dude Baker Poulshock are working on.

3) Hold the Torch video: me and Matt Walsh, the guy who did my Fireflies video, are doing another video for a song off the Fireflies EP that no one has heard yet.  We're filming weekend after next, I'm stoked!

4) Big Bang (my crew) has a project recorded, just needs mixing and mastering, no solid plans on when we're releasing it, but it's coming soon.  We're also working on a video with Baker Poulshock.

5) Big Bang Tour: oregon, washington, idaho, montana.  Doing a tour EP for it, already finished it actually.  I'll give you guys a glimpse, but only the fans who buy it from me on tour get the whole thing.

DMLH, Abadawn, Zone and me working on the Big Bang Album

you remember my crew, Big Bang, and how we used to drop a mixtape every month, right? well we're making an album, and we're almost done with the groundwork. It only took a couple weeks and we have like 10 cuts that are truly release-worthy. wet your nipples and await the motherload.

Gepetto - Fireflies Video

so here it is, my first official Gepetto music video.  The song is my new single, Fireflies.  The Video is by Matt Walsh and was both a ton of fun and a learning experience for both of us.  Big thanks to Matt for helping me make it happen, from hanging out the back of a moving car to countless hours of editing.  And big thanks to everyone who showed up to the barbeque and enjoyed themselves, and smoked multiple cigs at a time for the closing shot.  Without you, this video wouldn't be possible. Thanks Max for hanging out and letting me kickflip you.

Fireflies is the first single from my EP of the same name set to drop late fall with limited edition hand-screen printed/letterpressed/painted packaging by yours truly.  Look out for that!

T-Shirt of the day

so over the years i've collected a lot of t-shirts, from streetwear to band shirts to local stuff, and whenever i look at my 2 or 3 drawers dedicated to t-shirts i think "i never wear these, should I just get rid of them?"  No, I decided not to get rid of them, rather to show them off to whoever's watching by wearing a different one every day with the same jeans and shoes and posting pics.  obviously this has been done before (little black dress, a red beanie, etc.) but i thought it'd be fun, and a good way to showcase some random/rare/local t shirts that i have mixed in with my hypebeast ones.

here are the first four days to catch you up, i'll post one a day from here on out.

 Day 1: My favorite t-shirt, by Rebel 8.  Drawn by graffiti writer/tattooer/owner of Rebel 8, Mike Giant.

Day 2: Alife

 Day 3: My favorite design team, Morning Breath, did this design for Upper Playground

 Day 4: another Morning Breath design for Upper Playground

I'm about to get into some real shit in the next couple days, stay tuned...
