HUMMEL SPORTSWEAR AT URBAN INDUSTRY

Just dropped is a small selection of the core Hummel Clothing and Sportswear track tops....Old school sportwear company Hummel are making a vintage come back at the moment with some limited editon items that we may be stocking in the near future. The company has the right attitude business, always standing up for the under dog..they've sponsored the Afganistan and Tibeten football teams just so they could be recognised by FIFA! The lead singer from the Artic Monkeys has also been seen sporting the black version of the track top on tour recently..expect to see more items soon...

Some nice new bits in from Stussy this week...as well as some cool tees and shirts from the US range we've also taken delivery of the new core European range of essential items....with a keener price point there's a cool polo shirt and crew sweat...stand by for well priced Stussy denims and chinos...

STREETWEAR TODAY MAGAZINE ISSUE 1 2006

A slight delay on these for this quarter means we only received them a week or so ago...Still..Streetwear Today Magazine is still probably the best trade/consumer mag out there on streetwear, limiteds and other cool stuff...its all good, ever quarter...

As we're mid season at the moment we've taken on a very small selection, basically what they could stock us with at such late notice..we have placed an order for Autumn though to get our pick of the new colours, japanese limiteds and full size breaks...

THE ATTAI PRESS PAINTS UI STORE WINDOW

Saturday 8th April saw Butch from The Attai Press head out of South London and down to the Sunshine Coast to paint the front window of our offline store...



A full day of painting later we were left with this cool 'Burning Pet Store' design which is nicely catching the eye of passing punters!! We're looking forward to more collaborations with Butch and the Attai Press later this year....

Here's a little bit about the man himself..

Attai aka Butch Gordon is a resident of South London with a career in Street art spanning nearly 20 years.
It all started back in Birmingham where Butch was part of the skateboarding scene “…the two things always went hand in hand. If you skated then chances were that you tagged or knew someone that did … I got involved in a huge, mature graffiti scene that was flourishing in Birmingham in the 80s. Some of the work we discovered back then really blew me away and inspired me to move on from tagging and become a painter”

Over the next decade Butch’s work progressed through to big wall productions, t-shirt design, canvasses etc and culminated in a formal art training, where he gained a degree in Visual Arts.

Today, whilst still informing his work, the graffiti has moved aside to allow Attai’s illustration to shine through in a variety of mediums. He is as happy working with brushes and spray paint as he is with a mouse in his hand.

Personal work is inspired by everyday city life, architecture, animals, travelling, comic art “ I really got into some of the Daredevil stuff, Frank Miller. That inspired a lot of my recent, darker looking images.”
Music really helps too, years spent Dj’ing all over the place has left him with an extensive collection of records and he is always downloading mixes from websites like Dj History, H-track etc. “I have to have some background noise to keep me sane in the bunker”.

Attai’s past clients include: Crème Skateboards, Fenchurch, Habitat, Lucky strike, Shaman works and Little League records. There was also a very exciting series of collaborations with the sculptor Steve Gontarski from the White Cube gallery, some of which featured in the “Jam- Tokyo London” show and book.

For the future Attai wants to take this all further firstly by creating a series of short comic novels illustrating the spread of his trademark Attai characters. Also a series of three dimensional pieces are in the pipeline - a step away from the well trodden “street artist makes toys” scenario, into light sculptures mixed with characters and imagery.
