Usao

A favorite piece of mine from 2014.

Acrylic on a fat 36 x 36 canvas

Just wanna vent:

Ordered a Supreme tee (Black HR Giger). It ships to my billing address which I've used before with Supreme, it's my home address. It ships all the way to the west coast to Oakland but my address isn't the "billing address" and it gets recalled back to Supreme NY. I am constantly trying to contact Supreme to give them the right address but they won't change it "unless it's the billing address" to prevent fraud. They only answer once after 5 attempts to email them over 3 weeks. It reaches back to Supreme and they don't contact me for a week. I get fed up and request a refund, they finally reply and approve the refund. Except jk, now they send it out again to the same address from the start so I can't get a refund. Ok.

Pretty cool shirt tho

Acyrlic painting I finished over the summer.

Usao, those are so sick. Red D's are amazing jeans, and underrated lately. Great work on these!

Thanks dude, definitely enjoyed working on these jeans! Dry bones makes good denim they just don't have the whole hype thing going for them. I remember kiya recommending me these when I went to self edge years ago and I copped em haha

Dry Bones Red D Slims 2 years of hard wear than 1 year of on and off since they kept ripping

Got them repaired at self edge 3 times already haha

Thinking about retiring these soon and working on a pair of iron hearts but they're just so damn comfy

Alright I'll definitely have to shoot him an email then, I was looking at 2spirit tattoos which is also based in SF but read somewhere that their rate was 200 an hour or so and no walk ins. Hopefully Scholar tattoo is more chill. Thanks yo

Ben Volt does very good geometric stuff: http://www.benvolttattoo.c

How's the pricing? I imagine it's hourly.

Yo I actually live near SF (Oakland) and was wondering if anyone knew a good tattoo place that does excellent line work? (like precise geometric stuff)

don't think I've posted any of these here yet~ ripped from my ig

 

Ayy sup bruh

It seems like the best thing to do is just get whatever wallet you like, and if it's uncomfortable to sit on, then take it out when you sit down and just hold it in your lap or something.

But then you won't get wallet fades

For the event where you do something either good or bad, what if the bad thing was illegal? Would that affect anything?

I'm guessing Ironhearts are vanity sized albeit only by .5 an inch

Of course you can - 17oz and above. You just can't wear them more than 30 times before the comp starts.

Damn that makes me sad I wanna start wearing the right away, I can't wait 2 months. Where does one sign up for the competition?

Just got myself a pair of these, hopefully they come in the mail soon.

I wonder if i can enter the HWDC with these.

i have fat thighs as well and my jeans used to always rip..... until i started washing them more often.

Now they rarely rip, and when they do its small and always happens after at least a year.

washing/soaking really strengthens the denim and can help avoid rips (and it wont mess up your fades, just use cold water with minimum agitation if you really want to hold on to the indigo)

Thanks for the advice, I'm always hesitant to wash my denim early since it tends mess up my combs hehe, I'll try this on my next pair and see how it turns out.

it depends on how you size on them. I had my 007 for about 5 years now, no repairs, no rips. They are pretty baggy on me however

No rips or repair after 5 years? That's crazy, I get rips on my denim within 7-10 months all the time. My thighs are fat though so hopefully 24 oz is enough buffer to delay a rip.

Of course right after I ask, they send me a reply

Just throwing this info up about the new jeans

Cattleman:

Very fitted jean with a slight taper. Medium rise. 13.5oz broken twill sanforized denim.

Prospector:

Roomy in the top of the jean but with a significant taper to the leg openings, medium rise, 13.5oz right hand twill sanforized denim

New King:

A Relaxed jean. A generally straight leg with a slight taper toward the leg opening. Medium rise, 14oz (60/40 - cotton/hemp) right hand twill sanforized denim)

Sounds awesome, I've always been interested in the shearer jeans but never really see that many of them around, so maybe the cattleman or prospector will get more love. I wonder why they reduced the denim's weight though.

I'm still a greenhorn so I don't have much yet:

APC New Petit (stolen )

Nudie Average Joe

Dry Bones Red D Slims

Planning on getting some ironhearts 301s soon when se gets a restock or some pbjs dunno which one i should go for.

I've been thinking, is it worth it to get the lighter weight cuts like the 011 when pbj makes 24oz denim? Been wearing 14-16 oz jeans and they don't seem to last as long as heavier denim.

I would check out the SE05BSP from Flat Head or the 301s from Iron Heart. The SEXI14 won't be restocked and we're out of your size.

The shop says there's one 32 left for the imperials, and the 301s are also out of my size. I would cop the SE05BSP but my friend has them and I don't wanna bite lol

Awwww, looks like i gotta start running more haha

would the SEXI14 fit better? I'm thinking of taking the bart into the city sometime next week to get a new pair started.

Yo kiya, noob question here but do you think I could fit a 31 with the sf x fh x rbj if I fit a 32 in some red d slims. I remember meeting you in the SESF store and you recommended the slims to me a couple years back as well, and I've lost some weight since.
