Shamrock Social Club – Mark Mahoney
Last year we shot at Mark Mahoneys Tatoo studio on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles…
Mark Mahoney is one of the leading tattoo artists of our time. He is currently the proprietor and premier artist of Shamrock Social Club located in the heart of Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard. His career spans over three decades and with each wave of influence that tattoo culture has had on mainstream America, Mark has been there. From the underground punk scene of the 1970’s to the black and grey movement of East L.A. in the 1980’s to the mainstream popularity of tattoo art in the Hollywood scene of the present. Mark has been a pivotal influence. The theme of Mark’s shop has always been “where the elite and the underground meet.”
Cherry Blossom Tea from Japan
Got a nice package today from my friend Tami (she is a great artist, check out her blog here).
Right now it is cherry blossom time in Japan. So she send me over a package of finest cherry blossom tea. It comes “wrapped” with salt, so it stays fresh.
You wash the salt out, take 3-4 cherry blossoms and pour hot water on it. Ready is your cherry blossom tea.
The taste is … um… special. Totally different than expected…
Hanging out in San Francisco
I am in San Francisco right now! The city is amazing, the weather is great… Had a few good meetings here with the guys from Deluxe Skateboarding and from REBEL8. And some fun in the evenings …
Sneakerness in Cologne
Spent the weekend in Cologne and visited Sneakerness. Nice little show. Fair entrance price. Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, Reebok (with the worst stand ever) and adidas have been there. But also stores like The Good Will Out, Grand, A Cut Above attended.

ALIFE X DICKIES
On a visit to Los Angeles in May 2008, I realized that the staff in the Alife Store on Fairfax was wearing Dickies shorts. I started a chat with them and the idea for the ALIFE X DICKIES collaboration was born.
STUSSY X DICKIES Preview
We worked hard in the last 12 months to get this going. The guys from Stussy are amazing and we worked on a few nice pieces together. All inspired by true american workwear.
The line was shown first time ever on Bright. It is on pre order for selected stores now and will hit the street globally early 2011…
We gave hypebeast a little heads up…
