Still Kicking

NOT DEAD! Just been busy working on some stuff. Promise to being pushing out some more updates on what's going on, like I said in the last post just try to get somethings figured out and get things back on the right track. Please bear w/ me on this. Believe In Cult.

Still Kicking

Whats going on?

Hey it's been a second since I've had the chance to post a really post. But this have been a little bit crazy the past two weeks just trying to get my bearings w/ something and figure some stuff out for Cult. Didn't think about how hard some of this stuff could be doing it alone. But I'm stepping back and looking at some stuff for a second, look for the next shirt to come out being of June and things will roll forward more regularly from there. Sorry to anyone that was expecting more sooner but these are the things that happen when you're learning and trying to grow a company. Always Believe In Cult

One of the best music videos I've seen in a long time.... loving it to death

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

Shirts!!!

After alot of waiting and stress, my first did come in, I still have some left over from the event yesterday. You may not have been there yesterday, but maybe you want to support a local company or your friend. There was only 24 printed it's on AA and done w/ a water base ink, so theses guys are super soft. They're $24 just hit me up if your interested. Just think, when I blow up you can look back and say I was on that tip before anyone else thought it was hot. Believe In Cult!

If you're interested email me at cult.thinking@gmail.com.

Ken Block

I thought I'd share this video w/ you guys too, just incase you didn't know who Ken Block was. Another reason I kinda look towards what this man is doing. Cause I know alot of you have heard of DC shoes but did you know.. roll the beautiful bean footage..hahaha



This is where I'd like to see Cult get. And I still need to explain what Cult is, cause right now I'm really pushing "The Council Cycling", but they're the same thing one is just driven more toward cycling side of the fashion industry, but it's all Cult, one more thing I'll try to get around to letting you know about this week. I feel alot of really long days coming. But things most be down. Believe In Cult.

Another day

Man these past couple of days have been pretty blah. I've had the days of from the day job, but the rain hasn't really let up and I've found myself stuck in the house. Which is the place that you normally would find me, but for some reason it's been brutal being in the house.
I got out for a little bit when it stopped raining for a second and met up w/ Giorgio, did some laps around the bluejacket track but that didn't last to long. And as I normal do I forgot to take some pictures so I would have something more than word to share on the blog. But I failed again. I really need to work on that.

The shirts still haven't come in yet and the race is this wkend. So I've decide that I'll give them til the middle of the wk to call, then I call. There are still a few things that I want to do to the shirts before the wkend, and just the fact that I want to see how they turned out.

So most of the day has been sent looking at really car stuff, I've gotten really interested in that all of a sudden. I think I saw a commercial or something that sparked my intention. So I'll share one of those videos w/ you.



Today was the first time I've actually seen this Ken Block video. He's not driving the Subura anymore he's driving the 2011 ford fiesta now, but he's still and sick driver. He actually just one his 5th time at the 100 Acre Wood rally this year. Anyways maybe you'll find it cool also and open you up to something new. I might have more videos through out the wk, we will see.
But for now Believe In Cult

Party

I dont really go out much. But since its my bday im living large. About to go catch Kick Ass, right now I'm just jam to the Chronos mix right now. The Unknown unknowns, what you know!!!

Getting it done

So I forgot the other day that I actually got the first set of images from one of the artist that we wil be working w/ so that super awesome. Cant wait to share more about that w/ you, but all things in dude time. Kept those eyes piled, will be dropping some info about a race soon that we'll be throwing. Shirts haven't came back from the print yet, but soon. Believe In Cult

Ads and photos

Got out tonight and took some photos w/ two of the guys that are going to be riding for The Council. So keep your eyes peeled for so ads to be popping up soon. I get more and more excited about this stuff each and everyday. Believe In Cult

Off to the Print

So the excitement is building and the nerves are going as well. I just got back from dropping off the image and paying for the first shirts to be printed, They will be ready for Fixed Fight 4 indeed. I've got my fingers crossed, I'm hoping that they come out nice. This is the first time I've gotten shirts printed using my own design and there wasn't any photoshop work done to them. I hope that people like them. There's only going to be 24 of theses guys so if you want one better grab it up quick. Here are the size amounts that I'll have S- 7 M-13 L-4, I hope this works. I might do another print of them if called for, the shirts will be numbered some how.

Also a huge thanks to Nike and Joey over at Mama Sauce, they really helped me out and answered all the questions that I had. If you've ever got anything that needs to be printed, shirt/poster/cards, I highly recommend them.



Well until later. Believe In Cult

So tired

Getting back into the swing of waking up and going to work everyday is kinda of a buzz kill. Not because I'm lazy and don't like working, but because it pulls me away from being able to work on shirt design and thing related to the shirt and stuff. Been working 10 plus hr days, I like the idea that I'll have money in my pocket again, but it'd be nice if I was making the money on my own terms....
But anyways, two things that I've noticed in the last two days. One were in the world has Marilyn Mason been? I remember being in high school and MTV couldn't seem to stop riding his cock. I can't say I've heard anything about him that I can remember in the last 2 yrs, expect for when Celebrity Divorces was on Tv last night. Which made me do a little research and see what the man had been up to. After doing a little bit of reading on wik I found out that he did actually come out w/ an album last year, and has also be star/directed a few movies over the years. This lead me to looking at photo, and made me remember the interested that I had in him. The visual and the ideas that he came up w/ were pretty rad and interesting. Like this one
I really like visuals like this, they're simple and yet strong. And that's kid of the way I like to draw and make my art, or that's at least the feeling I'm trying to get across w/ what I do.

The other thing that I noticed was the big change that has come in fixed gear trick riding. And unlike alot of people I can't say that I'm so excited about it. I'm a very visual person and from that point alone things have changed so much. The bike went from being sleek and trim, to big and bulky. Tricks seemed seamless to me before, but now when I watch a video every thing just seems chunky. Here's of video of Torey Thornton in Council of Doom

And then you have where we are now.

Yeah the tricks are bigger, and people can take more risk. But where did the fixed gear go. It reminds me alot of bmx. And I love bmx riding. I can get into these new videos because it does take skill to do these trick, but something is messing to me that was there in the early days. And what happen to Keo? The last thing that I can find on him was from back in June of last year, and he was such a big name in the trick community...
Thoughts and opinions are welcome

Im here!

Hey blog,checking in as a new mod,just wanted to introduce myself.
Im Anthony,i live downtown orlando and i ride my bike for a living.(its a hard knock life) haha.
More than likely you see me around everyonce and a while,try to say hi!!

Sunday Ride

So I got up w/ Anthony, Garret, and Antimo today for a ride out to Occee. Even though it looked like it was going to rain we decide to go for it anyone. The route that we took was a 25.9 mi ride, at a pretty decent pace. About 15 min into the ride Antimo had abit of a problem w/ his cog.

He decide he was going to stay w/us for the anyways, but about 5 min later he got cut of from the group and decide to just head home and be safe.
The ride out was pretty much all side and tail wind the whole way. I just kept think about how we'd be getting our play back on the way home. We made a little stop of out in Occee to visit a friend of Anthony's and grab water and bananas.


Anthony took a little bit of time to explain the fixed gear before we were back on our way.

The ride back was the complete opposite of the way out. Head wind and hills, made for a nice challenge. I don't know about the other two, but the thought of the rain coming definitely helped to give me a bit of extra push. As we made back to the house we did a little cool down and as we were all pulling our bikes in it finally started to rain. We went up and out to the porch and enjoyed the sound of the rain as we talked about the ride.


Its really nice ride in a group, something I don't get to do that often. But its a nice change, it makes you push hard when your feeling like taking it easy. And its also nice to have people that are a stronger in other areas of cycling then you to push you in that area. Looking forward to getting out w' those guys again and ride. Until then, Believe In Cult

FF4

So I was thinking about when to come out with our first shirt, and decide what better time then Fixed fight 4 in April. So the first shirt that I have printed will actually be for fixed fight. I think the design is pretty dope. But here's a begin sketch just to give you a little sneak peak. This is just a really ruff sketch, I was looking at a bunch of old school boxing posters when I came up w/ the idea. Believe In Cult

Greetings

This is really exciting for me being 25 yrs old having a dream for years, and now here it goes. Art has always been a large part of my life, something that just grabbed me. I've also driven by fashion, it's screams out to me. So here were are, CULT, a vision that has come and gone throughout the years. Now it's back with full thought and action. For me this is more like a art project on a larger scale, t-shirts are my canvas. My goal is to create shirts that do more than just a display a brand but showcase art.

Along w/ CULT I'll also be launching "The Council" a brand catering towards the cycling community that I'm apart of and love. I plan to put on races and other events along the way, so keep those eyes open. There will also be some cyclist that will be sponsored, kids I like. People I think are doing their thing on the bike and having fun with it. There are alot of things I want to say, plans and ideas that I want to share. But like the turtle, slow and steady wins the race, so stay tuned, Believe In CULT.

The start

This is going to be short and sweet. The is the begin of the story, starting my own company and seeing what happens. Not following the same path as so many other companies. I'm excited to see how this grows. There will be more to come, explaining the idea and all that stuff. Until then.
