speaking of small quantities, our PATCHWORK tee made in a burnt Orange 50 Peices. Next Saturday.
good fridays.
Its always nice to see locals around Downtown LA that at one point were down on their luck and now slowly progressing into a better chapter of their lives. Although we are in the business in making money we ALWAYS try our best to help the less fortunate. With all of your help we have helped countless less fortunate people turn their swag on #swag
Here's Joey a nice guy who just recently joined a state program which allows him to stay off the streets and work at the local mission. You cant see it in the pic, but you already know he's wearing a fresh pair of white/grey dunk lows.
Joeys co-worker/homie sporting his new white and royal dunk lows. Shininnnnn

Norman & Joan Nelsen: 17 June 1950
Scenes from my Grandparents Wedding Day. These six images seem to have been given to them by someone who attended the church event and later provided them with slides. The slides themselves had "Nelsen" misspelled as "Nelson" on the cardboard frames, so I'm guessing they were shot and annotated by someone who was a friendly with them, but not related to them (or aware of my Grandfather's Norwegian nomenclature). Regardless, I'm very grateful to the photographer for the six candid and beautifully-lit snaps they took on the church steps this day.
Mother Of The Bride: Mae Costello in her Midcentury Matron Finest.
Picture Perfect: My twin cousins Lois and Dianne in their Flowergirl Frocks.
Bridesmaids and Flowergirls... Off to the reception! (Behave, ladies... Behave.)
Working backwards from about 1976, we have arrived squarely at 1950. Posting this series of images is a bit bittersweet, as these are the very last slides from the family archive. Essentially, a very large chunk of my family has just seen a large portion of their lives displayed (albeit in reverse) on the internet. These six pictures represent the endpoint of a rather broad arc of events, milestones, celebrations and journeys. I'm very glad, though, that this final post of 35mm slide scans shows the beginning of what would become my Grandparents' life as a couple (and subsequently their life as parents and grandparents). What they would go on to create in terms of family and who they would later touch in terms of friends and loved ones would end up being rather large. Thanks for EVERYTHING, Nanny and Pop... You are loved and missed, but mostly remembered and celebrated.
