This is ridiculous! Madsteez completed this mural in 6 days. I’ve painted many-a-mural, and it’s not easy. The piece spans 80ft x 30ft and is on the rooftop of the Ricardo Montalban Theater on Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles. I want to see how he planned this feat!
I’m not really sure what this is all about, but this framed photo was dropped off at Black Sheep in Charlotte on Friday. Was it for an art show, or a tribute to the Sheep and Process? It’s pretty cool either way…

One of our favorite ATL-based artists, GREG.MIKE, recently sat down with Oh Snap Kid and spoke openly about his Popstars & Cokeheads art collection.
I saw Picasso’s Guernica in the summer of 1997 at Madrid’s Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía but I never expected to see this masterpiece in this way!
Our friends, Rehab, are releasing the single, 1980, off of their acclaimed album, Graffiti the World. They asked EC to create artwork to go along with their radio-promo CD’s as well as art to accompany song downloads and other fun stuff.
The lyrics to the song remind me of a bro going to his high school reunion and hollering at shortys from way back. It just so happens that my 10-year reunion is coming up soon, so it made sense to draw Rehab’d “class ring”. I intended for the colors in the ring and background to dynamically change out to the school colors of the different regions they’d promote the song in. For example, Red/Black/White for Georgia/Athens area, and Orange/Blue/Green for Florida, and so forth. Somehow the management really liked the Varsity Gold and Maroon colorway I presented. I like it too, except it sort of reminds me of the worst NFL team ever ever ever (Redskins).
Check out our boy, Greg Mike, getting ready for his first solo show in San Francisco at the Medicine Agency . The show features hand painted pieces, sculptures, tee shirts, accessories, prints and collectibles designed and created over the past ten months. The centerpiece of the show is an army of 100 hand painted soda cans that have been transformed into the kaleidoscopic “POPSTARS AND COKEHEADS” characters, a playfully sinister cast of unique and eye-catching creatures. If you happen to be in San Francisco, go check out the show.

I just finished this illustration for our friend and local DJ, Rob Wonder. He’s been on tour with Scion this summer and just started a new campaign. We’ve been working on a few things with Rob so keep an eye out for more stuff to come soon. Photograph was taken by Zach Wolfe who just recently just shot the cover of Time magazine. Congrats Zach. Big things happening in Atlanta.
Here are a few close-up shots after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
So Chris decided to get his first tattoo the other day at Liberty Tattoo. He showed up to Gather Atlanta sporting a pair of Tommies on his arm. Larry and I had nothing to do with this. It’s not like we make our interns get branded or something. Chris just likes the Braves.
The EC/PROCESS crew will be participating in Gather Atlanta, an annual networking event which seeks to unite and promote Atlanta’s emerging galleries, alternative art spaces, and young creative collectives (presented by MINT Gallery, BurnAway, WonderRoot, and ThoughtMarker).
The show will be taking place on June 6th from 6 to 9pm at Eyedrum.
By the way, check out the sweet logo designed by our own, Erin Warner. Give it up for our girl!

Here’s a photo of Bernard McCoy (the man behind Modern Atlanta) from the MA09 “Design is Human” Kickoff Party we attended last Friday evening. It was great hanging with all of our professional creative friends all under one roof for a few hours. Check out Kevin Byrd’s flickr photoset of the night here.
A while ago, Georgios gave us a sneak peek at something he’d been working on for the PROCESS Summer 09 collection. Here’s another teaser of a graphic that will be part of the collection as well. I know the image isn’t revealing much yet, but here’s a hint: after having a pow-wow with Georgios, we decided on the concept of “East Coast meets Far East”, drawing from influences I’ve had growing-up in both Asian and American cultures. I’ll reveal more of the graphic as we get closer to release date. I’ve said to much as it is…

Modern Atlanta kicks off 2009’s series of modern home tours and design events in Atlanta this week. We’re featured in the MA09 Guidebook that you will receive when you purchase tickets for this weeks home tours and/or Kickoff Party this Friday, the 15th. Buy tickets here. Thanks to MA for placing us alongside ATL’s top design teams and stories. I really like the photo they chose to publish!
At the last Process x El Bar party, we gave this piece to Rob Wonder and Rosa. It was influenced by the El Bar Mary t-shirt that we collaborated on. We are working on something special with El Bar so stay tuned for more.
