Customs Department : Safari Brand

Let's take a look at some custom Expressionist shirts made here at Safari Brand.

These jackets were made for my cousin's little restaurant. Check out Tanya's Lunchbox for top notch Mid-East favorites if you're ever in Glendale, Ca.

Flystarz shirts are always on our palette for J-Roc & the crew.

N.O.R.E. has a website called 57thave.com . And my friend Tito keeps you up to date with whatever is happening in the Hip Hop world over there.

And speaking of N.O.R.E., here is a custom we made for CNN's comeback last year.

Keeping it New York, here is a custom Kill All Rats shirt made for some of the crew out there.

And speaking of crews, the biggest DJ crew in the music industry has to be the Heavy Hitters. This one was made for LA's own Dj Eddie One.

And finally, speaking of dj's & heavy hitters, we made this custom Hot97 design for this year's Puerto Rican Day parade in NYC.

Great Expresstations

So, along with the "I Skate LA, NY, & SF" shirts, there will be 3 more additions to the Expressionist Collection this week.

First up, is "Carpe Diem" . The popular Latin phrase, which means "Seize the day", is more relevant than ever. With all this corruption in governments all over the world, it seems as if we can eyewitness another world war, which leaves us no time to wait for the future to make our next moves. Do it now!

3-Dimensional paint makes the shirt look alive.

And here we have another ode' to "The greatest rapper alive". Lil Wayne put out a major street anthem a little while back & we decided to paste it on a shirt. I know the Reds, Blacks & Greys are all over our shirts, but "Steady Mobbin" would also only make sense in this colorway.

This last piece is a re-master. "Yo Soy El Mejor" has been part of the Expressionist Collection since the beginning. The design got a little tired, so we juiced it up & gave it a new look. It's also available in Black.

Safari Skate

So we all have our likes, & our dislikes. Maybe not for you, but skateboarding is considered to be one of the most popular sports for teenagers in the last 20 years. I've never looked into an actual poll about this, but I'm gonna take an educated guess, & say 1 out of every 2 males has skateboarded at least once in their lifetime.

As you know, Safari Brand has always been the guy who makes sure everybody gets a piece of the pie. By this, I mean everybody has an opinion, an idea, a way of life that is different from the next, & we want to represent them all. We all don't eat our cheeseburgers the same way. You like raw onions, he likes 'em grilled. You like a single patty, she likes 8.

Which brings me to this. If you've been following the blog, you might have caught a glimpse of these shirts & were probably caught off guard, or not. Some people might ask "What does skateboarding have to do with Safari Brand?" And I will go back to my point, that we are not here to represent for 1 type of person, but rather all types. But only if it all makes sense together. Being a brand that emphasizes on expressing yourself, it sure does work out for the best.

Here you have it, "I Skate NY, LA, & SF"
