Leo Romero – Eswic Spring Launch Commercial from ESWIC on Vimeo.

“Eswic is proud to announce the launch of our much anticipated Spring 2012 printables program of tee shirts and hats. This launch mark’s eswic’s initial injection into the retail market and features artwork by Ed Templeton as well as designs inspired by team riders Leo Romero, Cairo Foster and James Hardy.

The essential elements of style are put in motion with eswic’s Spring Collection while paving the way for an expanded offering beyond tees and hats that will continue to showcase our synergy between skaters and artists.” – Eswic

Eswic rockin the Ride x Create Vibe with their new spring collection that incorporates the “synergy between skaters and artists.”  I really dig this!  Looking forward to checking out some of their apparel!! 

Stole this photo from Tijon.  He captured me cracking a Brooklyn East IPA at about 11:00 a.m.  Clearly I wasn’t ashamed!  Anyways, the purpose of me posting this incriminating photo is to show off my sweet Loyalty and Blood shirt!  I really dig their hand drawn style.  The “shield face” tee reminded me of The King of Folly.

“Originally from Austin, Texas, David and Maggie moved to New York City to complete their masters’ degrees in fine arts at The School of Visual Arts. The two fell in love with the energy of the city and being involved in a community of working artists. Soon after graduating, they found the demands of living in NYC required them to settle into unfulfilling day jobs. Witnessing the DIY ethic emerging in handcrafted products, the two looked to their printmaking and metalsmithing backgrounds to form a line of products.” – Loyalty and Blood

Got to NYC today and took a few photo’s.  It’s been raining a good bit so no riding.  I’m bikeless but I did bring my Caballero cruiser.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a little dryer.  The posts this week will probably be sluggish due to the fact my internet access will be limited.  Keep an eye out on Instagram and Twitter for what’s happening !  Looking forward to good food, beers, and making a few new friends!  Cheers!!

I really love these decks!  I also really dig Colt Bowden’s style and design!  I highly recommend checking out Colt’s other work!!  Stereo definitely knows what’s up when it comes to choosing a guest Artist!  Ride x Create!

These are only a few of the great photos from Cameron Gardner!  I really dig his style and what he promotes through his photography!  This dude oozes the Ride x Create Vibe! 

“I enjoy being outside. I don’t like watching TV. I like the feeling of clothing straight out of a dryer. I prefer apples to oranges. I’d rather go barefoot. I want to be a conqueror of the useless. I prefer ASA to ISO. I still look for shapes and animals in the clouds. I take a liking to people.

I capture all of this with my camera.” – Cameron

Make sure to check out his sweet Tumblr page as well!!

I’ve stared at these two photos way to long.  Its mesmerizing how beautiful the craftsmanship of Firefly Bicycles is!  Very inspiring and very well done Firefly, you are true artisan’s!

As I’m sure you all know by now, due to the interesting amount of Twitter updates last night, John Prolly is in NYC!  Yesterday he posted about NYC randomness!  These are two of John’s photos that I really dig!  I’ll be in NYC next week, so I’m definitely taking note of some of these spots John is promoting!  Cheers!
