Busy busy busy

November 19, 2008



This is one of the new Tees to come out in the next two months or so, this is however a mock up so small changes may be made such as size and color. This design will be printed on American Apparel off white v-necks.

I just added a new album layout for all photos taken at events so now it'll be a brease browsing through your photos.

It’s been a long week with lots of school work and catching up to do. I haven’t had my car this whole week so it’s made the week even that much more interesting (haha). I have been talking with a few clothing and fashion sites the past few weeks and in the next few months or weeks will be featured on "Killer Bees Tees" a site being launched in January and "Us Trendy". On top of that I have been trying to get some new concepts down and a new game plan for the near future. This will consist mainly of new tees, multiple parties, and lots of raves. This weekend I will be attending Trip To Wonderland and EMF and be taking many pictures :].



I am also working on the myspace right now and trying to prepare it for launch of the street team. Which in the end means FREE MERCH!

Promo

November 14, 2008



This week I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting the "Fresh Entertainment" family, and now am a member. Being apart of this club means I get to promote their events, as you can see here me promoting for Winter Fresh 2008. Spending countless hours going car to car and sliding these flyers under randomly awkward windshield wipers of various cars and passing these flyers to random passer Byers isn’t my cup of tea but in the end Its all for a good cause. I hope to see you all at this lovely event coming up on DECEMBER 6th. I'll be there with 2 photographers, and hopefully by the next "fresh" event i'll even have a little booth set up.

While out and about passing out flyers I stumbled upon this sticker slap at the Westminster mall :] I love to see good old sticker slaps (haha)


Nu Disko

November 09, 2008

First off, I would like to apologize to everyone for not posting as many blog as usual, this week has been rather hectic. Now for the story of NU DISKO....


Earlier today I happened to be on Hollywood blvd, and snapped this picture, I still wish I had the chance to take more pics while being down there (haha).

Three consecutive weekends of going to raves, I think this schedule might end up being routine for me. Since I am now trying to take more pics while attending events, as I will also be having more photographers join the Above team soon. Unfortunately however Nu Disko was one of the shortest and most disappointing events I have ever attended. It literally shut down an hour after I showed up, not to mention I had to bribe the security guard with a little tip just to bring my camera in.

As far as the company stands right now I am trying to accomplish a lot in a short period of time. With the addition of more photographers and new designs that I am working on at this very moment I hope to only make Above grow even larger. Also new promotions, and the launch of Above Events.

… I almost forgot the first Above event party coming up very shortly. These next few months will be a testament of what is to come for next year ;).

After Nu Disko I really needed to relax and what better way to do so by driving alone at 2 in the morning when no one is out with a slight drizzle, my windows rolled down and blaring Tycho on my way home.

keep checking back because ill be releasing some mock ups of some of the designs to come.

HALLOWEEN

November 01, 2008




A long day filed with costumes, makeup, candy and loud music, of fun and of excitement, and many things. By far this has been one of the best Halloweens I have had at least since I created a large haunted house in my front yard about 3 years ago (haha).

(Rumors were going around that Daft Punk was playing but it ended up being a lie...I thought, and so did most the people there DJ AM put the famous daft punk helmet on and pretended to be them :[)

On top of all the fun and excitement of the day at school today, I managed to get into the sold out HARD HAUNTED MANSION last night. It was by far one of the best events I have ever attended. Unfortunately I did not have my camera since my external flash is currently in the shop being repaired from MONSTER MASSIVE from the previous weekend. I did however happen to find over a hundred dollars on the dance floor and now can buy some more fun things for the camera. I hope everyone had an amazing hallows eve, and that everyone ended the night safely.

After a long night I happened to take this on the drive home from Hard to an Amazing sunrise.

Above is creating a street team as of this week for promotion, and repping the good old name. I will be giving away free merch, stickers and much more to come. On top of that we will be having a series of photoshoots (with girls this time) and are currently searching for participants. Even though I did not manage to take photos at last nights event by the time TOGETHER AS ONE comes around I will have a team of photographers.

Keep checking back for updates on the street team and photgraphy info.

...much to look forward too in the near future.
for now, enjoy what’s left of the weekend :].

END OF SALE

October 29, 2008


Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that we have now officially ended the launch sale. If you missed out on this once in a long time opportunity, we are sorry. But no need to worry, there will be more sales and giveaways soon to come so keep on the lookout for any new blog posts with any new deals.

MONSTER MASSIVE!!!

October 27, 2008



This event ended up being one of the most memorable nights of my life from the fact I had to literally sneak my camera in wearing it under my costume hoping they didn’t feel up my goodies and would notice a very odd shaped object (haha). I also had the wonderful fun of meeting Waldo, clock work orange look alikes, and witnessing many more crazy costumes including my own. The event had over 60,000 attendees and was held in the L.A sports arena. If you didn’t make it, you missed out on some great fun but don’t miss out on the last Halloween event of this year (HARD HAUNTED MANSION) this Friday. For all of you I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting and taking pics of, I hope you had fun and you can now find your pics under the events page(or click here). I am still having some minor scripting issues so some of the images are a little cut off on the right hand side.

I hope to see you all this friday once more at HARD.

-PEACE! :]

"I can't believe I'ts nearly Halloween"

October 23, 2008



Today I visited the wonderful world of Disneyland or maybe not so wonderful, but that is beside the point. So as I was saying, I had vistied Disneyland today and it finally hit me that Halloween is so close, and so much is going on from now till the wonderful day of "hallows eve". With MONSTER MASSIVE only 2 days away and HARD HAUNTED MANSION on Halloween as well we have a lot to prepare and look forward to over here at Above. Some other news without pretty pictures are who we are working with, currently we are working with various sites for spreading the word about above. For example check this site out....we were just featured on they're latest news post.

(click the picture to view the post)

I am so anxious for Monster Massive and the opportunity to take thousands of photos of all of you. Even though finding me will probably be like finding Waldo, amongst the 50,000 plus attending the wonderful event.

For now..."that's all folks"

"I think I've got fish eye."

October 21, 2008




I just picked up a fish eye for my camera that I love to use oh so much. I think this will add to the tastiefullness of all the blog/event photos we take. I also just ordered some other cool parts for our camera to make the photos even that much more top notch haha. I hope everyone’s having a great October and we can’t wait to see you all in your crazy outfits at this years "Monster Massive". (view the events page for more info)
